Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Man’s Chest

This one starts out loud, with great drum beats, and instantly gives the audience what it wants: images of Will, Elizabeth, and (of course) Captain Jack Sparrow. It also doesn’t try to hide the new creatures in the film, Davie Jones and his fishy crew. They’re all there within the first 20 seconds. I also like that the trailer goes on for about a minute after you think it’s going to stop, and that last minute is one hell of a thrill ride. And, what’s great about movies like this one, is that there’s so much footage in the movie that nothing is really spoiled in the trailer! You walk away from it going, “Wow, that was really cool!” Yet you still don’t really know anything about it. But it’s given you that itch, and that’s all that matters.

Unfortunately, as seems the theme with some of these trailers, the music was made specifically for the trailer and isn’t available for download anywhere (save for the identifiable POTC themes, which will be on the soundtrack).
