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.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Pirates of the Caribbean is back with a whole new film opening up this Friday May 20, 2011. Will this end Thor's #1 streak in the box office? I think so. When Pirates of the Caribbean comes to theaters raging horny Johnny Depp fans come to theaters with pockets full of cash. This time Disney has Rob Marshall directing "On Stranger Tides". Will Rob do the job for Disney and delivery a blockbuster hit? The films he directed before was Annie, Chicago, and Nine. I guess Captain Jack Sparrow will have a nice dance number in this movie. So count on a different feel for the movie.

The last three movie budgeted at $865,000,000 and gross revenue at $2,681,440,232. With those odds I would create two more movies. Oh wait, thats what they did. Two more Pirates of the Caribbeans will be releasing in years to come. Check out the trailer and stay tuned for a review this weekend.

Some fun facts:
Johnny Depp said he agreed to star in this, before "there was a script or anything".

While filming in London in October 2010, Johnny Depp received a letter from a local 9-year old schoolgirl, telling him her classmates needed help to 'mutiny' against her teachers. He turned up with almost no warning at the school in full Sparrow outfit in support.

Penélope Cruz was pregnant throughout production, but it wasn't noticeable until September, 2010. As Penélope's baby bump grew, it caused some difficulties in wardrobe, so the producers enlisted the help of Cruz's younger sister, Mónica Cruz. According to reports, Penélope filmed the close-up shots, while Mónica doubled for her in the long-distance scenes as the wardrobe department had struggled to hide the pregnancy.
