Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

So there would be no point whatsoever to hide that I'm a HUGE fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. And i would be lying if i said that I hadn't been waiting for On Stranger Tides since, well since they started talking about making it. And I am happy to say that in no way was I disappointed when I FINALLY got to see it. I simply just love it! Once again Johnny Depp portraits the oh so lovely Captain Jack Sparrow in all his problems. Beside having lost The Black Pearl... well again... Jack also has an imposter running around trying to recruit a crew... is there any way this could not go wrong?

Nah.. and just like the first 3 movies you go on the hunt for riches, revenge and a bit of love.. and yet not quite the same. However going into details is a major spoiler alert. Not really up for doing that.


I do however feel the need to point something out. I've seen more than one person complaining about how On Stranger Tides doesn't tie with the first 3 movies. Some even seem to find it a bad thing that they made a Pirates without Elizabeth and Will. o.O
Well this is how it is.. The 3 first Pirates of the Caribbean is a trilogy. Their main theme is without a doubt the love story between Elizabeth and Will (apologies) and you must admit that this little story tied up in a nice little bow in At Worlds End.
Now Moving on to On Stanger Tides. Well first of it is left with the promise of being the beginning of a new Trilogy. I am not sure about the main theme yet but I don't really seems to care for it at the moment. The point being it has a NEW main theme. Therefor it should not suffer under the assumption that it just starts where the third movie left us. Savvy?


all there is left to say is.. there is a long long LONG time till 2013 where we should be so lucky to encounter Captain Jack Sparrow again in a fifth movie.
