"WHy do pirate guys chase other men around"

"they made yet another great pirates of the carebian!"

"In this movie everything was envolved like great characters, decent story, awesome music, spectacular effects,and some very funny jokes....I love it"

"... Or is it?

Overall, this movie was probably more comedy rather than action this time around. I found the film to be humorous and excellent to had watched in the theatres. There were more parts that made me laugh in this one, than the first three films.

Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) did not disappoint, at all. However, like the other movies, he is still after his ship after losing it (yet again). I still LOVE this movie, though. Sure, the story-line is somewhat of the same with his ship, but at least with each movie, there are different adventures to be had.

I cannot wait for the next film to be put out. Let's hope it is even better than this one! :)"

"Dont get me wrong this movie was a great movie but it wasint as good as the others. Their was less funny and less plot i felt. Jhonny Depp was of coarse amazing and being introduced to Black beard and his daughter along with other new charachters was fun but it just wasint the same. Im a huge pirates fan and always will be but i was a tad disappointed by this 4th one. There was interesting turns like the mermaids and zombies but i felt they wereint used enough and that they were only used to try and make a film that needed help...I of coarse want there to be another film and clumsy Jack sparrow was as hot and funny as usual it just wasint what i expected and as good. It seemed like they were rlly trying to make the movie flow and sometimes it felt strained like they were running out of ideas or things to do. The concept of the fountain of youth was indeed interesting and i felt there was more interesting things they could of done with it but the ending was funny and good. Im waiting for another one to come out and will still always be a fan!"

"For any die hard Pirates fan, four years are worth the wait for the latest installment of the world wide grossing franchise to happen. Being a Pirates nerd myself, I was very excited and a bit uneasy about the new film, directed by Rob Marshall and, once again, starring the witty and outrageously hilarious Johnny Depp.I’m not going to lie, I had my doubts when I saw the trailer for this film. In my opinion, the third Pirates tied up all loose ends and drew a close to the legacy of Captain Jack Sparrow and his adventure, which I thought, despise the opinions of others, to be very well written. In Stranger Tides, gone was the highly watchable romantic arc between Kiera Knightly and Orlando Bloom’s characters, instead we get a strange new Spanish flavor with a new character portrayed by Penelope Cruz, as well as a new villain, Blackbeard. Maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t this has, “been there, done that” written all over it?Nevertheless, I went and saw the movie. I was mildly satisfied, partially because of the comic relief moments brought by Depp. The film, however, is a long shot from achieving the epicness of its predecessors, notably “At Worlds’s End”. The story itself couldn’t be more simple, but it’s beguiled by the many subplots that jump all over the places. The Black Pearl doesn’t even appear in this movie, and Jack Sparrow is being captured by pretty much every single other major characters. Penelope Cruz plays Angelica, a love interest from Jack’s past. Together, they join a quest with the evil pirate lord Blackbeard, played by none other than Ian McShane, in search of the Fountain of Youth.The title of the film, On Stranger Tides, suggests that the majority of the movie should be set on the ocean. In reality, the characters spend half of the movie in jungles and caves, leaving their ships and crew to vicious man-eating mermaids. Yes, there are mermaids in this film. In fact, a subplot involving a young missionary and a mermaid takes up almost the entire movie, and I must admit, it was probably the most uninspired and cliche story arc in any of the Pirates movies. It’s funny how the producers cast actors resembling to Bloom and Knightly in an attempt to compensate for their absence. Needless to say, they failed miserably.The highly of the movie belongs to Geoffery Rush, who once again portrays the wicked and funny Captain Hector Barbossa. Now working under the King, the former pirate forces Jack to join him oh his quest to find the fountain, but secretly allying himself with the Spanish in order to seek revenge on Blackbeard. As always, Barbossa’s screen time, way too small as it was, brings a few light hearted fun to an otherwise aimless sequel filled with mindless action stunts and cheesy CGI.Several notable veteran actors made a few unexpected cameos, including Richard Griffith, who is remembered for his role in some of the Harry Potter films. Judy Dench, who plays a wealthy noblewoman whom Jack briefly encounters. Keith Richard returns as Jack’s mysterious father, who once again serves as a sage type of figure.Hans Zimmer also returns as the film’s composer, who complied soundtracks from the previous films and threw in a fresh Spanish twist.Despite the many returning, the new film lacks the stunning visual and grand scope that has become a trademark for the Pirates films. With less characters, a less intriguing story line, and a somewhat disjoint cast, On Stranger Tides may leave fans question their reasons for watching another so-so Hollywood blockbuster sequel. Nevertheless, the movie doesn’t fail to captivate general audience with its new direction and fares well with its absurd but not too ridiculous plot while proving itself to be a solid continuation of Jerry Bruckheimer’s masterpiece."

"I love Jack Sparrow. I have all the 3 movie DVDs and waiting for the release of the 4th. Even ripped DVD to my smart phone from www.winxdvd.com/giveaway"

"I think this is one that I will say deserves a sequel. I have seen all the others and this is also one I will watch.

"This installment of Pirates is just the same as all the others, great characters, decent story, awesome music, and spectacular effects.

But that's what also keeps it from getting a 5 star rating from me. It's just more of the same, Jack looses his ship, Jack tries to get his ship back, fights some stuff along the way, and triumphs in the end.

The movie is still very entertaining with great acting, but after 4 movies you'd expect a bit more. Why can't we learn more about jacks past, explore the characters a bit more. Every movie just seems to live in the now at all times. Even as we start to learn a little bit about a characters past, they throw in a fight scene to keep us entertained.

But maybe that's all Pirates aims to be, a bit of entertainment (which it still does very well) and not the type of saga that it could be by using the characters and actors at their full potential."
