Horrible film, okay artwork.
I thought it was a laugh really. Took itself a bit too seriously with that love triangle rubbish near the end, but for the most part it was pretty entertaining. I like the artwork, but I'm gonna hold back and get a trilogy set or something. Not having Disney do any more of that "lost disc" coblers on me, I think I'll hang on for a more complete package.
smae art work as R1... nice film!!
astronomical SRP.... are these people serious??
I will wait for a similar release to "the lost disc"

The RRP doesn't mean a thing. It's available to pre-order for £13.99 from most places, same as the other major releases from the summer, and no doubt this time next year you'll be able to pick it up for £5.99 online, same as other films which fancy themselves as deserving of ridiculous price tags.
www.play.com has an exclusive gift set going for £29.99. It's not too descriptive what you get in it. If the title's to be believed, you get some kind of game based on the dice sequence in the film. Not really gonna be shelling out for that, so I'll stick with the regular version if I get anything.

Just learned the Scandinavian 2-Disc will carry DTS. I love it!!

You know, we get these kind of posts all the time, but it does mean something. A higher RRP means a higher dealer price, which means that it's generally only the larger retailers can offer reductions. This penalises the smaller outfits, not to mention those people who still have to buy from the high street (not everyone has Internet access). Why should the RRP be £24.99 anyway? It's only a two-disc release. The practice of artificially inflating the price of your product just because its perceived to be a 'prime' title is disgusting. Warner do it all the time, and BV are the worst offenders along with them.

I'll pick this up from HMV for £13.99

Fair point, but most places will be offering it at less than £24.99 from the day it's out. And most people have a supermarket nearby, and they tend to do DVDs significanltly less than the high street retailers. But if you can't find this title in a sale somewhere for less than a tenner in the months following Christmas, then yes, it's a rip-off. But I don't see any need to pay full price for anything when shopping around (not necessarily on the internet) can save usually at least a fiver. Therefore I don't agree that the RRP means anything. Heck, The Matrix Reloaded has an RRP of £27.99. You can pick it up for a fiver from just about anywhere now!

Looking at Knightley's body and reading the sub title "Dead Mans Chest" always makes me smile!!!!!

Matrix Reloaded is a fiver because it's been out for years. My point was more about the unfairness to smaller retailers though, and the fact that most people are uneducated when it comes to buying DVDs. You have to remember that the sort of people who visit this site aren't representative of the general populace. WHSmith are a big high street retailer, and they want £24.99 for it. If you send your Gran down to buy it odds are she's gonna get it from somewhere like that.

Actually WHSmith tend to have new releases competitively priced to match the likes of HMV, Virgin etc. They tend to be in the £15 region, same as everywhere else for brand new film releases. And I picked up Grey's Anatomy - Season One on the day of release for £21.99, not the RRP of £29.99. Also at mine, they have had offers in recent months on brand new chart releases, such as "any 2 chart titles for £25" which works out at £12.50 each.
Not quite £24.99.
In fact, as long as you've got something like HMV, Virgin, Fopp, Music Zone, Woolworths, WHSmiths, Morrisons, Tesco or Asda nearby, you shouldn't have any trouble avoiding Buena Vista's RRP, or anyone else's.

It's not at all the first, I loved the first, Jack Sparrow is not straight and Disney didn't want Johnny Depp is too totally campy as hell and it's dosen't work in the original but I like a lot of the flick but i'll pick it up to go with the first and I iked it but it's extremely flawed but just for the kraken scene, i'll buy it, I have a thing for giant squids
Dead Man's Chest is the Temple of Doom in the series. Fun, but destined to merely be a long exposition scene for At World's End. Anyway, nice to see Depp as Sparrow again.
Let's hope then that DTS filters through to all the editions....
Not a bad movie but it trys a little too hard..

I just bought the Region 4 DVD tin (2-disc) and I can confirm this has a DTS soundtrack

You think disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are gonna stop printing billion-dollar notes and leave it at a trilogy? They're already talking about at least two more films in the series, and Depp says he loves it so he'll return to the role for more sequels too. I say stick with buying the individual releases, and stick em on eBay if and when they stop making films in this series.
