Pirates of the Long-Winded, Dull and Disappointing Caribbean

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2011)

This film started perfectly, first 30 minutes really got you into the action/adventure genre and had a few great ambitious, action sequences, and from there, possibly one of the most drawn-out films I've ever seen. I felt it was dull, rushed but drawn-out at the same time? The middle hour was SO DULL, the "mermaids" (pathetic ones) and "zombies" (in it for minutes) didn't add anything, and considering the first Pirates film is one of my all-time favourites, they've gotten progressively worse, and I really thought this one would bring back the terror of no.3.
Such a disappointment, the trailer gave it all away too; Penelope Cruze was meh, and Johnny Depp looked like he wanted to be somewhere else.
