Pirates of the Caribbean "On Stranger Tides"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298650/


On Stranger Tides, where do I start? The movie had great acting made by all the cast members. Johnny Depp did awesome as Captain Jack Sparrow once again. The directing wasn't my cup of tea but still delivered. CGI was good too. The only thing that was bad was the plot. From the main characters to get to point A to point C took forever. There was so many scenes that could have been cut down. Characters digressed so much to each other. I felt like they were just wasting time. Also the plot was done in previous movies in the trilogy. Captain Jack Sparrow has been to the fountain of youth before, why not make a movie about that. They should have went in a different direction with it. Maybe revisit it but not make it the main goal of the movie. The jokes in the movie were not quirky enough. I was expecting a lot more from Johnny Depps character to top off the old movies. That was my mistake. Action was also good but nothing seemed that life threatening. One moment the guards had guns chasing Jack Sparrow then they take out their swords to fight him. Why would they do that? They know what he can do so why not just shoot him in the ass and capture him? The villain was confusing. It was obviously black beard but it could've been this guy with the wooden leg. Both guys look very creepy. I would not want to mess with either of them.

The movie was good but its definitely a Disney movie. If your a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean then  I hope you enjoy it better then I did. In my opinion, its a wait to its on DVD type of a movie.
On Stranger Tides made number one in the box office this weekend. It was the top gross this year so far.

3 out of 5 Stars.
