Let the critics be nay-sayers. I loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2011)

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Yes! This one was was also great!
At first you sense that another director is behind the "wheel", but you'll get into it in no time. This is a bit less grand in scale, but this does not mean that the film is therefore less enjoyable. Similar scale to COTB. My only complaint is that the love relationship between Philip and Syrena could have worked better. Penelope Cruz is a great addition. I prefer her now instead of Keira. Orlando and Keira aren't really missed, but a reference to them would have been nice. Ian McShane as Blackbeard was BADASS!! Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa stole every scene, Gibbs was still as fun to watch. And as expected, Johnny Depp as Jack is back in top shape. Cameos by Judi Dench, Richard Griffiths and Keith Richards also were a welcome addition. The CGI is back perfectly fine(and there's less of it, which is great) and the locations are again stunning.Of course the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is fantastic again as expected. The story is somewhat simplified but no less entertaining. The mermaids surprised me very much, such fierce mermaids like you have never experienced
Does Jack make it to the Fountain of Youth? To the movies and find out!
I would say do not listen to critics and the race to the movies! If you're a fan of even 1 of the previous films, this one is not to be missed! Forward to part 5 and 6.
PS: I went to the 3D and the 3D version worked great! The film was, like Avatar, filmed in 3D, not converted.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 9 / 10
Each POTC film has its minor flaws, but they remain my favorite movies, I do not prefer one over the other.
COTBP: 9 / 10, DMC: 9 / 10, AWE: 9 / 10
