: With any trilogy you have to give special handling to the second in the
: series. The first movie has to stand on its own. The second movie spends
: the first third of itself tying itself to the first, the second third
: building a story of its own, and the third sets you up for the final
: portion of the trilogy. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest is the
: Back to the Future II, or the Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy.

That is an interesting analysis of trilogies, but I, personally, would hesitate to use Empire Strikes Back as an example for any kind of generalization. Yes, it fits your trilogy description in terms of the "thirds" of the movie, but IMO Empire is the best of the Star Wars films. That's a bit of an oddity for trilogies. Well, that's just like my opinion, man (a little Lebowski reference for you).

: Anyhow, based on any reasonable measure of film-making this was well done,
: although by somewhat of a generic and generalized film-making standard.
: Worth watching, but don't expect to see anything cinematically
: groundbreaking. It's a good movie in a traditional sense, and it leaves
: you somewhat appetized (it's a word now!) for the sequel.

A friend of mine said it was possibly better than the original. I tried to watch it on a plane but couldn't stay awake for more than half of it. I want to see the rest and I will, but what I saw was pretty much in agreement with your analysis.
