Great start, lousy ending

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2011)

First of all I'd like to point out I never was a big fan of the pirates trilogy. The first one was great, the second was slightly worse the third was a complete waste of time (but of course that's only opinion based I still respect the people who like it I just have my reasons why I really don't like it) Anyway I wasn't expecting much of the newest movie but seeing how keira knightley and bloom were gone (thank god) i at least thought it would be descent and till the first hour it seemed awesome, I felt like it was back to the first part more dark scenes more seriousness, great mix of story and jokes but the second half thats when it went down hill. The story has so many wholes and there are so many illogic scenes, the characters (except for depp who was as awesome as ever) were boring or totally left aside, Black Beard doesn't get any introduction, never any explanation why he is so powerful, the spains are...just there (!!!SPOILER!!! seriously these guys come out of nowhere throw down a wall at the fountain and disappear again...hello?) But my biggest complain is this love story between a religious man and a mermaid which was ridiculous it made no sense it was unnecessary for the story had a lot of plot holes and was all in all totally forgettable. The only good things about this movie for me were the music (as always Hans Zimmer just knows how to make a good soundtrack) the atmosphere was great as always and the jokes of Jack Sparrow which are funny as well. 3D was useless (as always) the last five minutes of the movie (and the scene after the credits) are incredibly stupid but I guess for fans it will be a nice experience again but i certainly can do without
