What was so bad about it?

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2015)

Something about this movie i'll never understand...is why so many people disliked it. Sure, not enough to give it a less than average score, but still, significant enough to make me scratch my head.
Compared to the third movie, I felt this one came back to the root of pirate lore with a VERY simple "go from A to B, go through C on your way back" and things like the Fountain of Youth, the Spanish navi, mermaids and blackbeard. What could possibly go wrong? Specially when the previous movie had a plot so complex it could give Lord of the Rings a run for it's money.
This movie also took out the couple Will Turner and Elizabeth, which in the third movie, kinda stole jack's thunder way too much. this fourth movie allowed jack to have his shenanigans all the time. Although a little too much, but also gave some good character developtment to Blackbeard, his Daughter and even Barbossa, who knew.
In the end, I felt like this movie was redeeming for the previous. It started funny, ended funny, was epic (and funny) all the way through, still giving us that little taste of "I want more". And more we shall have, lets meet again at "Dead men tell no Tales".
