Wasn't over hyped about this but it ended up being pretty good

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2011)

I wasn't all that excited about another "Pirates" movie, having liked the first one but not really remembering it all too well, seeing the second one but not remembering what happens in it at all, and not even seeing number three after the royal slating it got from most.
I Have too admit though that I enjoyed number 4. These sort off action movies make a nice change from all the super hero ones we are force fed these days, even if it reeks off self importance, and expects us too cheer in our dozens at all the hundreds off times Johnny Depps "Jack Sparrow" is mentioned.
I Liked the story too. Which sees Sparrow join forces with a new crew (which is awesome considering I missed the last flick) led but an always great Ian McShane, and a great looking Penelope Cruz. Even Stephen Graham was in there. So I was loving the cast.
Film has ships and sword fights so what else would you want from a pirate movie? How about some mermaids? These creatures made the film differ enough from previous efforts even if there could off been more off an effort from Depp (whose now just sailing along in the part off Sparrow) or more action or laughs in the movie. I enjoyed it reasonably enough though. It was a decent sequel really that stands on its own.
