Not well thought through...

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2011)

Why was the Christian missionary who had his throat slit OK in the next scene?
Why was Penelope Cruz's character dressed as Jack Sparrow when we first see her?
Why was she defending her father after he selfishly tried to take eternal life for himself while, in the process, killing her?
Don't expect to find answers in this muddled fourth instalment of the popular Pirates series.
I admit that some scenes have a good amount of energy and fun to them (the Mermaid attack is a standout) but overall there is a lack of spectacle and far too much dark cinematography.
