What a waste

Rating: 3/10 (2 March 2017)

I love the Pirates movie just because they are fast action, fun movies, and belly laughs when it occurs. The fourth movie brings back our favorite pirate who just happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and gets in a lot of trouble.
This trouble now comes in the form of Blackbeard which I was really hoping for a really dark villain with some heart, but we got a shallow character out of him. Another was Penélope Cruz which was supposed to be Jack's love interest with a lot of potential, all wasted. The preacher kid there too along with some of the characters.
All the visuals are basically the same quality we expect from the Lucas Studio on CGI and the ships were build from scratch or retrofitted.
Otherwise, the fourth movie is pretty much just a filler episode in the adventures of Jack Sparrow. Hopefully the next one will have character development, villains that aren't one dimension, and some characters like Orlando Bloom's character will be a different darker personality.
