Well.. Since watching the first installment I really looked forward to this. The first one was everything I could ask for from a classic swashbuckling adventure.
However, this left me with a kind of unsatisfying feeling but there were a lot of positives too.
The scenery and atmosphere and general is great. Everything I could ask for. And Eva Green.. What an actress she is.. I know she usually plays mysterious villains but still. She's just good.
In general I enjoyed the acting as well. Maybe not great from everyone but the characters were ok.
But then the plot and the climax.. I still don't know what was really going on and from what I've read I am not alone in that. I believe they changed a lot from the book as well which messed it up more than it should have (never read it but I will).
I will watch it again some day though to maybe get a better understanding and possibly after reading the book to at least know the core of the story a bit better.
Still watchable but could have been better.

A bit confusing.. still ok.
Eva Green stands out
Part 2 of the current film adaptation is by no means a bad film, thanks to the actors, budget and, of course, the literary source material. Nevertheless, it falls well short of its predecessor, not least because of the high expectations following the first film. What's missing this time? A certain freshness, the haunting presence of the protagonists, their actually indispensable interaction, memorable climaxes. Content now rules here, almost too much for the running time, instead of fun.
Eva Green gives an outstanding performance in her parade role as the femme fatale, this time making the important and correct decision that less is often more.
