[Ghoulish Delight]

Going back to Alex's proposal that it's simply the repetition of the same style vs. an actual change/drop in quality that those of us who don't like it are perceiving...I heartily disagree. While I think I would have disliked Dead Man's Chest less if it were the first installment, I never would have liked it as much as I like the actual first movie. There is a qualitative difference between the two that goes beyond a lack of newness. Punchlines instead of humor. Plot, instead of storytelling. Charicatures instead of characters. And an overall theory of "bigger/more must be better".
