Honestly, if your kid watched the first one with no problems at all, then they would be totally fine with this one. If they did have some problems, maybe you should watch it first and see if they could handle it. When they find the heart, it might be a little nasty for the squeamish person, but be advised that it isn't a human heart. It's a weird oval-shaped thing that beats and has way more than 4 arterie thingys. But yeah, It was awesome.

i think this movie is a very good movie for ages 12 and up because it is very entertaining

Of course, the morals are fairly pathetic (lying, cowardice, betrayal, cheating... of course it is about pirates ahem...) and I don't recommend a steady diet of anti-morals whatsoever, but this is the one I'd watch for pure fun! My 11 year old is a little sensitive to scary or creepy stuff, so he chose not to see it on his own. My 13 year old loved it, but I don't think as much as Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. But I love some action/adventure but with humor! Too bad they closed down CLEAN FILMS (edited video rentals)... that let my kids see a lot more videos than they ever will get to see now.

i liked it to say the least, but honestly davy jones and his crew had way to many effects that it came to the point where i kinda thot they werent gross...just stupid! jack sparrow was great as usual all the awesum lines but will turner?? that scene with the natives "come one! i could do this all day!!" umm...that didnt seem like him AT ALL it was just DUM. and the jack with the toes... ew... oh and for someone who sed the scene with elizabeth and jack was uneccesary, u would be rite! the only reason it was in there at all was bcuz kiera knightly INSISTED on havin a smoochin scene w/ jonny depp! LOL i did like it and could watch it again but the first was better..

This movie is great for preteens and up. There is a lot of action but also a lot of violence. There are of course sword fights and pirateer scenes (high seas and primitive islands) but there is a scene where Will's father (a barnicle covered seaman) has to give him five lashes with a whip, blood is shone on his back afterwards. There is also a scene when one of the crewmen from the Flying Dutchman loses his head and carries it about the island. There is some humor and a good story line regarding friendship and loyalty. A big question in this movie is how true do you stay to your friends with regards to laws and government - not to mention moral choices. It is interesting to see how much is placed on the conscience of these characters - too much for younger kids to digest. One of the points that stuck out was seeking a higher power. Out of desperation, Jack seeks the council of a voodoo priestess. Now, I do not particularly care for voodoo or black magic, but we are talking pirates. There is also reference to Rigetti (the wooden-eyed pirate and his little buddy that hated "parley") and Pentelli referencing the Bible to ammend their souls since they are mortal beings again. I loved the movie as an adult and would say it's enjoyable if you liked the first movie. There is a deeper focus on "pirate lore" and some of the myths and legends surrounding pirates.

The special effects & CGI were mind blowing for Pirates 2, shame the story wasn't as up to snuff. I was confused by the storyline & found that I thought more favorably about the movie when I didn't think about it too much. Johnny Depp was his usual wonderful self, what a talent!

although had tons of drinking, some violence but no blood and had cages made of human bones, it's good for kids 8 and up
