Following an appropriately pulpy prologue, the film opens on erstwhile Captain Jack Sparrow Depp as he's marooned in London in search of a ship, and pursued by local authorities who he makes little serious effort to avoid. And you know, what I've said about this movie was not something I thought I would be saying, because judging by what I'd seen of the advertising/trailers, it looked as though it was going be the worst of the series, but actually for me it wasn't. Geoffrey Rush is underused in a way, but he does have some great lines and a fun presence so he isn't a complete waste.In conclusion, On Stranger Tides is not a perfect film, but as an instalment to a decent enough franchise it is a more than worthy one. Ian McShane is a worthy addition as Blackbeard, who is charming in a grizzly way while committing acts of great evil. I was wondering what they would do for villains without Bill Nighy, but I needn't have worried. She is feisty, beautiful, foxy and sexy, and also likable and fun. Johnny Depp plays lovable rogue Jack Sparrow with a voluptuous swagger and sly humour and nails it again, while the idea to omit Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom here proved a good one, without them for my money the whole adventure carried less of a dead weight.Instead we have Penelope Cruz, who proves a perfect match for Depp. The acting is good enough for what it was. The characters are not the best developed, but they are fun and there aren't too many of them to interrupt the flow of the story, a big problem I found with At World's End, while the action sequences are both exciting and nail-biting on the whole.I wasn't so sure about Rob Marshall as director, but he does a far better job than expected, and the film is livelier in pace than Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. The opening twenty minutes is an example of the writing being at its funniest and wittiest, and the scenes with the mermaids are beautifully shot and intriguing.While not perhaps original, and not among his best, I did very much like Hans Zimmer's score, which was rousing and brought some much-needed energy.
Once again, the production values are impeccable, the cinematography is skillful, the costumes, sets and period recreation is authentic and the effects are superb. I also felt the romantic subplot s felt underdeveloped and forced, and while there are some droll, bizarre and witty quips particularly with Depp, Rush and Cruz there is a bit of filler that could have been excised.However, despite these complaints, On Stranger Tides is a worthy instalment.
Too many moments of exposition and clichés, though the story if slightly rickety in places here is less bloated noticeably and better paced than the film released before it which is a good thing. so if you have any plans for the weekend, drop them, and get to the nearest Cinema!!Overall 9/10 Jack is Back,maybe not as powerful as ever, but with a new cast and new story and a new tide, brings a great deal of action to the series.So this is a MUST-SEE film of the year so far. Because it will always be as good as the first one.thats whats special about this, that it Never Gets boring or Old. I personally Can not wait until the next one is ready.
it adds so much to the film's story and theme. And was not as scary and powerful as the Black Beard should be.The Music fantastic as always by Hans Zimmer. he seemed that he hasn't fit into the role. The mermaids were extremely Beautiful and nicely made, which i think was one of the best parts of the films.On the other hand Ian McShane's performance didn't really grab me. but I am not referring to that as a weakness. There are some mild Violence scenes which we never had in the pirates series. They are really lucky that the movie was rated PG-13. the performance by Geoffrey Rush and Penélope Cruz Are fantastic and would be very good if we see them in the future films. it makes the films look and feel very natural.
