Any body who find Johnny Depp the best looking man alive will love this Pirates of the Caribbean! It has gone back to the first film where Captain Jack Sparrow is the main character, with all his humour, his funny walk and all the rum.
This is a proper pirate film with mermaids to make it even more amazing. In this film, the pirates are looking for the fountain of youth and with characters from the last three films it was no wonder that it has been rated so highly. There was no return from Elizabeth Swan and William Turner, and I think this was one of the reasons why it was almost as good as the first PotC. There was no complicated storyline like in the last film, where I had no idea what was going on, something about the world ending... meh! This one was an easy watch and you were able just to focus one person and that was Johnny Depp. A few new characters were chucked in Angelica Malon played by Penelope Cruz and Blackbeard played by Ian McShane, these two character fitted in so well especially with the fact Angelica and Jack had a past. My favourite scene being the one where the mermaids are all swimming in to shore to attack all the pirates. I felt that it was so cleverly done and was amazing to watch how these beautiful mermaids turned so violent in a split second. They have definately left it open for a Pirates of the Caribbean 5... lets just hope its more about our beloved main character rather than a love scene from Will and Elizabeth. Worth a watch :)

Awesome, awesome, awesome! That is how I would describe this amazing reboot of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I was a huge fan of The Curse of the Black Pearl but was disappointed with the 2nd and did not bother to watch At Worlds End. So I went into the cinema really hoping that they could sort things out with this 4th entry in the series and they
did. Just when you thought the game was dead and buried, in extra time Disney came back and scored a blinder with this film. On Stranger Tides did what the 2nd and 3rd instalments failed to do and that is focus on Johnny Depps incredible character that is Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow (I think there should be a captain in there some where) along with some old faces and some new reignite the Pirates of the Caribbean canon with an explosive story line and some great ideas and cast additions. Ian McShane (Black beard) and Penelope Cruz (Angelica Malon) were two really good pieces of casting making great pieces of the Pirates of the Caribbean world.On Stranger Tides had me hooked for the whole film, making me laugh and keeping me on my toes with a good amount of action and a few creepy moments. All in all the film was well balanced with plenty of classic Captain Jack moments. I also saw the film in 3D which was in my opinion well worth it, it just gives everything that little more detail and makes you feel that little more involved in the action. All in all this is one of those rare saviours for a film franchise, making me really wanting a number 5 (please Disney... pleeeeease). Granted after a long day I fell asleep in the last 2 minutes so I missed the set up for another instalment but Tara guarantees they did :)
