More magic from our favorite pirate....sorry, captain!

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2011)

Finally,after all this waiting Jack Sparrow is back into action.To be honest,I can't really say I loved the movie,though I would very much like to.
Johnny Depp was there,and he was amazing as always,but he was..alone.Barbossa helps him a bit with all the funny lines but it just seems not enough.There was maybe a little too much of Depp in the movie,but even this wouldn't be a problem was it not for the other negative elements.I didn't thought much of the character that Penelope Cruz represents,there's a lot of things that need explanation here and there in the movie,like the way to enter the Fountain of youth or the strange powers of Blackbeard and there's a lot that seem irrelevant and kind of put-in-the-last-minute details,like the Spanish,the love-story of the mermaid and the sailor.I guess I've just missed all the fun and emotion that I've experienced with the three previous movies.
Of course if you skip all that,and to be fair,it is an excellent production with all the effects and fights that suit a pirate-story right,exotic places,mighty ships,love and treasure,poison and legend,evil sea spirits,lots of rum and miraculous escapes.All I can say is I'm looking forward to see what's next.
Note:I watched the movie in 3D and besides the great effect and atmosphere that it creates,it made it difficult to follow the details in some scenes,especially when it came to battle scenes.
I hope you enjoy the movie and that my review was helpful. :)
