Pirates Premiere at BBC News :
Bill Nighy, who stars as the half-squid, half crab Davy Jones, said it was a great character to play.

“He’s a very seriously spooky guy, his job in the movie is to put the fear of God into everybody, notably Jack Sparrow,” he said.

“But I don’t know why, when they were looking for a half-squid, half crab, my name came to mind.

“I’m going to choose to take it as a compliment otherwise I would have to kill myself.”

Review in Empire:

Such inventiveness is also apparent once we’re on board Davy Jones’ slimy, barnacle-smothered ship The Flying Dutchman. While some of his bizarre, aquatic crewmembers suffer from obvious-CG-itis, Jones himself is a flawless creation, all dripping tentacles and twitching mannerisms, complemented effectively by Bill Nighy’s harsh Hibernian whisper.

Review Hollywood Reporter:

Nighy does a great job of getting across his tormented character despite his face being hidden behind special effects.

Variety:
Best of all is Davy himself, whose remarkable visage is festooned with a beard of moving octopus tentacles and whose strength as a singular villain is heightened by Nighy’s wily performance.
