Jack is back and better than ever!

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2011)

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is back in this fourth instalment of the Pirtaes of the Caribbean franchise. Along side some old friends such as Captain Barbossa (Geoffry Rush)and his old first mate Gibbs, and some new faces such as the beautiful and sassy Angelica (Penelope Cruz)and frighting legend of a pirate that is Blackbeard. (Ian McShane) This troublesome tale sees' Jack go on a voyage to the fountain of youth.
Might I say how wonderful it is to have Jack back on our screens, Johnny Depp once again portrays the unique character brilliantly and yes at sometimes it is a bit repetitive but it leads to great comedy moments and entertainment for all.
Of course the movie could not beat what has come before such as the pirates first movie, but it lived up to be a great instalment to the franchise. Surprisingly I didn't feel the need for the old characters we all thought we would so desperately miss such as Elizzebeth Swan and Will Turner. Instead this movie had it's own stamp on the effect that it gave the audience and it is well worth a watch and a purchase in the future.
