Lots of fun

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2015)

A bit long. But very enjoyable. I liked that there were stop-and-think moments for Jack and Will and Elizabeth. Johnny Depp may have made some questionable film choices recently. But no one can accuse him of indifference. He gives Captain Jack so many more faces than a comic pirate. He's an amazing actor. Conveys as much with expression as he does with words. That Jack Sparrow remains a hero despite his very obvious flaws is telling. At least for me, Will Turner and Elizabeth are rather self serving. Jack Sparrow will always be the great one. And comedy-wise there were some lines that were priceless such as the name given the crewman with"no arms and half an eye." In 2015, it feels like Johnny Depp might be entering a new phase of his career. Hopefully, his film projects going forward will be true to his singular talent.
