finally captain jack is back

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2011)

this movie in my opinion is the second best pirates movie in the series. (firt being the curse of the black pearl), but i was worried about this one. there starting all over with the fountain of youth. which they mentioned at the end of the 3rd movie. but will and Elizabeth are gone. Davy Jones is gone, but who is gonna miss him. Tia dalma is gone, pintel and ragetti are gone. the only originals that returned for this is of course johnny depp (jack sparrow, Geoffrey rush (hector barbossa) and the guy that plays Joshua Gibbs. anyway they made this movie work without them. they got new people who did great in there roles and Ian mcshane (blackbeard) really stood out in this film. he made his character as evil as can be. he held his own as Penelope Cruz did as blackbeards daughter. they both did great. now to barbossa. he is no longer a pirate but a privateer working for the crown. as soon as i heard that i immediately thought there had to be an angle here of why he is doing this. barbossa may be selfish at some times but his loyalty is to pirates. and it still was. you find out why he became a privateer in the movie. also barbossa is one of the most popular characters in the movie. the writers wouldn't ruin his character that way. now on to the one and only jack sparrow. in this movie he is quite different for the better. he isn't hiding, not being cowardly, not running away. which he has done before, and don't get me wrong jack sparrow is one of the greatest characters in film history and one on my favorites. without johnny depp jack sparrow wouldn't be as successful and as popular as the character is now. as i was saying jack sparrow is more of the hero in this film. saving people. not being selfish, being brave. and that change is for the better. of course they couldn't make a pirates of the caribbean without action and comedy, and there was plenty of that without a doubt. the story is phenomenal, the actors are phenomenal. this film is the perfect pirates of the caribbean movie. the only thing bad about it was that it ended. this movie feels different from the 2nd and 3rd movie and is different from the 2nd and 3rd. defidently see it.
