Well.. Since watching the first installment I really looked forward to this. The first one was everything I could ask for from a classic swashbuckling adventure.
However, this left me with a kind of unsatisfying feeling but there were a lot of positives too.
The scenery and atmosphere and general is great. Everything I could ask for. And Eva Green.. What an actress she is.. I know she usually plays mysterious villains but still. She's just good.
In general I enjoyed the acting as well. Maybe not great from everyone but the characters were ok.
But then the plot and the climax.. I still don't know what was really going on and from what I've read I am not alone in that. I believe they changed a lot from the book as well which messed it up more than it should have (never read it but I will).
I will watch it again some day though to maybe get a better understanding and possibly after reading the book to at least know the core of the story a bit better.
Still watchable but could have been better.
