I love the first three Pirates movies - and when I had the chance to see all 4 in a marathon I jumped at the occasion! It was really great seeing the movies on the big screen again, but I was really dissapointed with the fourth movie... The priest annoyed me like crazy and when he finally went out of the picture, I remember thinking - "who cares!" There just didn't seem any point in him being there...
I've always loved Jack Sparrow, and I really think he can carry the movie on himself, but it bothered me, that he was so protective of Angelica... He's supposed to care about himself and just himself! As glad as I was to get rid of Elizabeth and Will - I found myself missing the tension between the three of them...
I'm giving this 2 stars - one for Ian McShane, who is amazing as Blackbeard (and everything else he does!) and one for Johnny Depp - because if you left out Penelope Cruz, he's still Jack Sparrow...
But I will not be buying this movie - it simply didn't leave me with the "WOW" effect that Thor did....
