About Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Soundtrack

Parents need to know that there are no lyrics to be concerned about, but some of the haunting, moody music might be scary to very young children.

    A MUST see movie!

    It was funny, suspenseful, action packed, and awsome. I realy liked the part were Jack, Williom and that other guy start fighting over the key to the dead man's chest. A definite 5 star movie!

    GRAND!

    I love Hanz Zimmer's music. I listen to a few of his soundtracks. The music from Pirates is beautiful, toe-tapping, and extremely adictive! I can't stop listening to it! The Kraken is one of the best pieces in my opinion. I prefer DMC's soundrack from the Curse of the Black Pearl's, because it has more variety of music, from a waltz, to a beat-filled remix of He's A Pirate, to many other styles. It's a great CD for traveling.
