AWESOME! I'm getting this! Wait a minute, this DVD isn't in DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1 EX?
Wait on this, they've already said there will be a double dip around Xmas with a collector edition of PotC:2.
No deleted footage? Wow, I'll wait until december.

Dang this movie is still in theaters and still doing great and we already have artwork and some specs on the disc? GRRR where is my Superman Returns DVD news damnit! anyways i'll still be gettin the 2 disc edition of course! Cool movie, just not as great as SR :D
I work at a theater and I haven't seen the whole movie yet. hope to see the rest of it on DVD

see, I dont think that we can really judge this film because its not techincally a film, its only half a film. we dont get the conclusion until part 3 in 2007. things that seem random could be the biggest parts of the third film. so I hate when people say they hate the film, they havent even see the rest of it.
with that said, I liked the movie. but not as much as the first one. hopefully the third one will answer a lot of questions and conclude the triolgy.
i love the artwork.

The DVD wasn't even supposed to be announced until the 19th September - but lots of sites posted it early without permission. Therefore some of the specs may not be correct/finalised. We'll know for sure on the 19th.
It's good but the plot is just boring, Captain Jack isn't Captain Jack, the funny thing about the first was how Captain Jack was so obviously gay and in the second he is as straight as a ruler.
besides that, it was a good film

They've announced that they will double dip with a special release for the Blu Ray edition next year. I'm guessing right around the release of World's End. I'll get this one regardless, but I'm curious as to what else they can do to convince me and every other person who loves this movie to 'double dip' next year...
WTF?!? This one gets a two disc set and Cars gets the shaft with one? Cause Cars really deserves it. I'm probably not going to pick this movie up as I really hated everything about it except for the new Disney logo. Come on Disney, if you make a c**ppy movie that makes a ton of money and a great film that also makes a lot of money (but not as much as the c**ppy film), the great film should at least get a two-disc release out of some respect.
I have a hard time believing that a total piece of c**p makes over $400 million, but then again I hated "Shrek 2".
POTC 2 is way better than Shrek 2 (and it's better than the first "Spiderman" film as well)... but then again, how much money a movie makes at the box office isn't always an indication of how good/bad it is.
Decent fun, but the first was much better. I think I'll wait for the inevitable trilogy pack that I would assume is in the works for late next year.

That would be fine with me, as long as the window of opportuniity is left open for another Pirates Trilogy! Um, ARRRG!

I never saw him as gay, just a little weird. I guess if a viewer wanted to think he was gay, they could see it, but I dont think that was the intent from Depp. I saw him more flirtatious with Keira's character than Orlando's. Being a little weird and flamboyant does not make him gay. I guess we all may have seen it as different. That is just my 2cents there.

I notice there's a great big number '2' down the side of the spine in the picture. Is there a similar number '1' down the side of the first one in R1 format?
Methinks I'll hold out for the 10-disc box set, or whatever they do for when all 3 are available. Having said that, according to interviews with Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp over on Empire (British film magazine), they're not gonna call it a day at a trilogy!

I'm all over the 2-Disc.
I'm sort of hesitant about the saga Matrix-like direction they're taking the films in, and I wonder whether it would have been wiser to create separate adventures with each film like Indiana Jones. I suppose everything depends on the caliber of the third film (ooh, we get a preview on the DVD? Cool. Hope it's an Easter Egg).
It was a very fun movie either way.

Yeah, Johnny Depp had so much fun playing Jack Sparrow, that he's willing to do more POTC films beyond the planned trilogy (as long as the scripts are good).

Why would they put out a third edition that soon?

Did I miss some deleted scenes where he woke up with a naked man in bed? Why is it in this day and age anyone with the slightest eccentricity is automatically assumed to be gay?

The first film had both DTS ES and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX tracks, however, I think the director was just fine with the second film being given a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track.
I guess Disney will save the DTS treatment for the inevitable trilogy release or a double-dip when the third movie is released on DVD. Pity.

Finally! I loved this movie and I can't wait to get the 2-Disc edition!!! The extras sound good and the artwork is very nice too.
I didn't like this as much as the first one but it was still a spectacularly entertaining ride of a movie. My main problem with the movie lies in the fact that the the plot came out of the action, instead of the first movie, wherein the action derrived from the plot. As a result, the storyline for this one felt like just an excuse for more adventures to take place (which was probably the point, but still). Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and found the ending especially worthwhile, what with who shows up. I really think that in the next one, Keith Richards will be found bumbling along inside the Krakken, which would make for an eclectic entrance. Critique aside, I'll be there opening day to pick up the two disc edition of this movie, can't wait to blast this in surround sound.
Every person I have asked for their opinion on this film, I have heard many bad things about it.
I might give it a try.

at least they are releaseing both 1 disc and 2 disc versions - means we have one less double-dip....
the best movie I have seen this year. I wonder if there will be a Narnia-like release later
The Double dip is something I can live with if notified. However this new two tier priceing is just wrong. I am sick of paying 25 dollars for the 2 disk, or 16.99 for the strip model. You could wait a few months till the single disk is in the 2 for $20 bin but the 2 disk only gets more expensive.
This is the highest-grossing film of the year, and Disney KNOW how to extract money from people better than even Mr Lucas! There'll probably be loads of releases of this one; extended editions, special editions, boxed sets with the first one included, and then the inevitable trilogy.
This is the best film i've seen in a theater this year so far. It's everything i've ever wanted in a pirate film! It also has a lot of scenes that have to be seen to be belived. For example the scene with the melons at the beginning of the film and the one with the big wheel towards the end. Did I mention the visual effects? It's amazing how much they've managed to make Davy Jones (a completely CGI character)look and move like Bill Nighy. (The actor giving the voice) This has to win at least a couple of the technical awards at the Oscars come mars! Depp was nominated for the first one. Can't see why he wouldn't be nominated yet again.
NO DTS?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!
And Disciple, Bill Nighy PLAYED Davy Jones. They just went the Andy Serkis/Gollum route.

Lets just hope when the finalize the specs there will be a DTS track or at least a Dolby digital 5.1 EX. Liked the movie and can't wait to see the next one. Typical cover art.
I would have to throw my vote in with the "great movie" group. I liked this one as much as the first one. However, I somewhat agree with...

...in that he makes a good point about stand alone adventures. They tried to tie it in to the first film in several places but I don't know if it was enough to make all three feel like a continuous story. I do have to say that other trilogies (i.e. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings) worked well as continuations. I reserve my final opinion for when I see the third film.
I will also be holding off on buying this with the anticipation of the box set (hopefully with DTS) once the 3rd film is released next year. I'll rent it though!
