Yet another exciting pirate adventure, but as expected worse then the previous ones

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2011)

The fourth part in the majorly successful saga of Jack Sparrow and fellow & non-pirates fills exactly all of my expectations for this movie: a new swashbuckling adventure, packed with action and fantasy but with a missing lack of hilarious quotes that the first three movies possessed.
Johnny Depp is amazing as usual, the technical elements are outstanding as usual and the movie has some funny moments, but still less and some less funny or felicitous as in the previous movies. On a hand, i might even a bit miss Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, since there has to be someone in a movie that you dislike a bit for its particular honesty and general lameness, if you understand what I mean.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a movie that i enjoyed, since i really like the whole series, but is still yet another proof that there is a low chance of sequels beating the original. Maybe the reason is Rob Marshall, who replaced Gore Verbinski and the screenplay-writers that replaced Stuart Beattie. But actually - i don't really care. I expected this to be worse then its "ancestors" and it was. But it was still a great movie.
