Bloom’s character is maybe a little less dashing than he seemed in the first feature - he doesn’t completely achieve the counterpoint to Depp’s character that he conveyed originally - but he still gives the tale a viable anchor, while Depp’s comedic timing is as marvelous as his game physicality, and Knightley completes the triangle with a commanding energy and full sense of entitlement. The special effects are quite elaborate, but always stimulating, and the action stunts are as witty as they are spectacular.

Directed by Gore Verbinski, the film steals good ideas from “The Man Who Would Be King,” “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and wherever else it can find them. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley reprise their roles from the previous feature, set aboard ships and tropical ports in the days of yore, with Depp as a conniving pirate trying to rob the undead, while Bloom and Knightley are separated lovers who eventually fall in with him in order to reunite. You have to go all the way back to “Ghostbusters” to find the same mix of playful horror, high character humor and exhilarating action that the “Pirates” series has achieved, but where the second “Ghostbusters” film was a mindless attempt to cash in on the components of the earlier film, Dead Man’s Chest is a conscientious effort to extend and expand upon the first film’s fun and thrills.

Even though it has a cliffhanger conclusion where the hero’s fate is unknown (rather like the end of “The Empire Strikes Back”), what goes on before that point in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” a Walt Disney Home Entertainment 2-Disc Special Edition (retail $34.99), is so rollickingly entertaining that the 150-minute feature leaves the viewer fully satisfied, with the promise of more enjoyment yet to come.
