Having seen each one of the previous Pirates of the Caribbean films in theaters, I couldn't pass up the chance to see the newest one as well. This was the one I thought I would wait to see when it came out on Blu-Ray, but I'm quite happy I saw it on the big screen. Pirates boast amazing special effects, tons of sword fighting action, dramatic music, mermaids and a few stoleing kisses as well. The film, like most of the other ones in the franchise, can be summed up in one word, fun! Directed by Rob Marshall and written by Ted Elliott (screenplay, characters & screen story), Terry Rossio (screenplay, screen story & characters), Stuart Beattie (characters), Jay Wolpert (characters) and Tim Powers (novel "On Stranger Tides") (suggestion). Starring Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), Penelope Cruz (Angelica Malon), Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa), Ian McShane (Blackbeard), & Keith Richards (Captain Teague).
On Stranger Tides brings a sense of closer to the story of Captain Jack Sparrow. Although, this Pirates didn't seem to let Johnny Depp move with the character as much as he had before. I was left wanting his wild and crazy antics but instead they made him more sexual in his nature. Sparrow is thrown about when his long time love interest Angelica Malon (Penelope Cruz) is added to the mix.
Angelica Malon (Penelope Cruz) is found wrangling up a crew under the self made name of Captain Jack Sparrow. After a few squabbles, it is revealed that she is the daughter of formidable Blackbeard (Ian McShane). Here you get introduce to the Queen Anne's Revenge and its zombie like crew. All of them together and with a few friends from the other films embark on a quest to find the legendary fountain of youth.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides made me feel like a little kid again. Just the joy of adventure and never knowing what may come about the next day. Its over all fun and wise cracking jokes will keep you entertained but some of the movie is very suggestive. All in all, I would say this should be the last of the Pirates of the Caribbean and this was the one to sum it all up.
