Pirates Of The Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides

This pirates was dreadful. In my opinion worse than the 3rd one. The storyline was preposterous and there was no point to it. I was expecting more quick witted humour but was disappointed. There was no sideline characters that added to the comedy like the 2 idiot pirates from the first one. You can tell when a film is bad when you look at your watch half way through. In this one i looked at my watch probably 10 times.

The critics have always given the Pirates movies a hard time, they even tore into the first (and still the best) movie.
For me parts two and three suffered from being shot back to back and the story was confusing and at times made little sense.
To find the fouth film was a stand alone movie with no ties to parts two and three and ditched the love triangle between Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom could only be a positive thing.
The plot centres around as to what was hinted at the end of part three in the search for the fountain of youth. Again we are joined by the ever excellent Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa the equally as good Ian McShan as Black Beared and at the time pregnant Penelopie Cruz , but as alway this is Johnny Depp's film and he again is outstanding as captain Jack Sparrow.
Under the new direction of Rob Marshall the whole film feels fresher. But there is a down side to all this. In th first there was the crew of the damned, second and third we had Davey Jones and his crustation crew, but in this we have zombiefied crew that no way match the other creatures in the series, the film also seems to lack a few action scenes as once they get on the Island where the fountain is, nothing really seems to happen and this could have been to put to good use and is a missed oppatunity to make this chapter stand out from the rest.
The show stoppin scene is the Mermaids, both stunningly beautiful and deadly this does rate as one of the best scenes in the series. In the cinema the 3D was great, but when it arrives on DVD it may show the faults in the film even further.
For me athough I thought the film was a slight improvment on parts two and three it's still not a patch on The Curse of the Black Pearl.
This is stil top draw family entertainment, and if you loved the original three you should lap this entry up almost as much.

although it was still a brilliant film....POTC 4 is not as good as the previous 3. it hasnt got the excitement, and the missing cast has affected it. Penelope cruz is not good!! she is the same in this as she is in everything she has done (including the loreal adverts), so that was a let down!! However, it is still worth a watch, Johnny Depp is as amazing as ever a Captain Jack sparrow, so, still go a see it and decide for yourself!!

This is the worst Pirates film so far, the first 3 were much better, funnier, more exciting action and more entertaining.
The story is quite interesting but it isn't gripping enough for the duration of the film.
Alright for a night but not a must buy!
