Pirates of the Caribbean or The Adventures of Jack Sparrow?

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2014)

Well, here we have the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean and said by the way, the worst of all.
I am a true fan of this series, but I can not defend this disaster sequel too.
After the original trilogy, and now turn to independent adventures of Jack Sparrow.
Orlando Bloom is not. Well, I do not dislike the character and the actor, but neither will get to have really missed.
Keira Knightley is not. Well sorry, but at this if I miss a lot. For me this girl is immensely more beautiful, sweet and best actress Penelope Cruz very overrated.
The original crew, except Mr. Gibbs, disappears along with the Black Pearl. Neither Mr. Cotton, and the sympathetic bald dwarf, or those two pirates with you were your initial case in the three movies, nothing.
So we find in this new film?
Johny Deep as Jack Sparrow if he returns. Well, unsurprisingly, not the movie directly there. Keep up a good performance and is once again the best of the film, as it should be.
Geoffrey Rush. Essential. This character really should not be missing in any sequel because with Deep, who is unable to start more laughter and sympathy among the public. May this great actor last and last to delight us with his talent.
Penelope Cruz. No disappoints. The truth is that their performance is quite correct. What I do not understand is why his character seems at first that you will have an important role and then be slowly reduced. Her character is interesting and half the writers have failed to draw with too much confidence.
Ian Mcshane. Disappointing. So clear. I was expecting a really scary and imposing Blackbeard but has not. The dubbing is terrible to start putting a ridiculous voice that did not hit anything with the character. Then there is the performance Mcshane, great actor by the way, just as he convinces that scenes, while others are low intensity seen on their part. Davy Jones was cool in every scene and every sentence he said, was memorable, but this does not convince really terrified. Very disappointing.
Kevin McNally as Mr. Gibbs. I must say that this character is the prettiest and funniest of the series, and for me it has become imperative. I hope to continue in the following parts.
The other actors are largely untapped. Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter appears as King George, only very briefly, in spite of being quite comical. completely wasted.
The legendary Judi Dench only makes a cameo, so there's nothing to say. Oscar Jaenada only appears briefly at the beginning and end, as the Spanish ¨ ¨ without much to say the truth.
Keith Richards is also very sporadic although it irremediably sympathetic dad Jackie.
The film as a whole?
For very loose truth. Nothing impresses nor really surprised, sometimes it is boring and uninteresting, and only wins when Deep Rush and appear together on screen. The subplot between the missionary and the mermaid is revolting and not interested or god.
The sequences in Blackbeard's ship look promising, but ultimately nothing happens remarkable, except a fight shot with very little skill.
Rob Marshall is not a bad director, but has failed to make us forget Gore Verbinski, especially its lack of energy when providing strength, humor and interest to the film, something not seen in previous.
Interestingly photography becomes as in the first, bright and colorful, leaving aside the greyness and more off of the two sequels.
The soundtrack becomes the same, with additions of Spanish guitar.
Finally, a fourth part, which I was quite disappointed, despite having a good start, and more or less correct outcome, lacks true epic visual spectacle as were his predecessors, and the lack of previous cast members make it less attractive to the viewer.
A sequel that's actually not such, but a spin-off of Jack Sparrow for the moment has not convinced me or fun as I expected.
We will have to wait for the fifth, ¨ Dead Men Tell Tales ¨, to see if this was just a little bump unimportant, or notice of an inevitable decline.
I really hope it's the former. Thank you.
