Full Review of POTC: On Stranger Tides

[HammyTheSquirrel]

erm... yeah. another strange thing is that they just ditched all of the other new characters from the end of the third movie by saying that the Spanish had killed them. Like, remember those two British soldiers who always argued throughout the movies? At the end of the third, they became pirates in the middle of the big battle... then they must have died when the Pearl was somehow sunk.

Also, wasn't it supposed to be Pirates of the Caribbean? Not even two seconds of the movie had any connection with the Caribbean Islands.

Oh yeah, and, really, if Jack ever got into trouble with anyone who wanted to kill him, couldn't Will just pop up out of nowhere and kill the enemy? If the whole world declared war on Jack Sparrow, then Will could just come up from Davy Jones' (or Will Turner's?) Locker and sink/kill all of the enemies.

Overall,... I wasn't completely satisfied with the movie due to the lack of connection with previous ones. The escape scene was prolonged and there was a different director, taking away from the originally set feel of the POTC movies. If Gore Verbinski came back to direct the fifth movie, he could probably twist it back into a film like the older ones. I consider this movie the start of some sort of sub-series that continues with a new story, rather than the next chapter due to the lack of real connection with the original three.

Out of ten,... I give it a 6/10. Worth seeing, but not really worth watching time, after time, after time. meh.
