[the worst POTC movie yet]
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
IMDB- 6.6
Rottentomatoes- 34
RJG Ratings- 15
Jack Sparrow, joins with Barbossa to find the fountain of youth.
Starring- Johnny Depp,Geoffrey Rush,Penélope Cruz,Ian McShane
Director- Rob Marshall
Stranger Tides is not an exact continuation of the events of the previous POTC trilogy,its more of a fresh start for Jack Sparrow with new supporting casts.The movie was one of the most anticipated movies of 2011 but unfortunately it failed to gain critical acclaim like those for the previous 3.
Johnny Depp returns once again as the iconic Jack Sparrow.Its safe to say that hes the only highlight of this movie.But yet the movie's lack of proper story takes a heavy toll on Jack Sparrow.So in Stranger Tides ,we have Jack Sparrow running around and having sword fights but thats as far as we get to the old Jack Sparrow.The dull story manages to make the most exciting character seem dull.Somehow as each movie progresses ,Jack Sparrow has become younger and less menacing compared to the Curse of the Black Pearl (POTC 1).The supporting cast includes Penelope Cruz & Geoffrey Rush.While Geoffrey (Barbossa) gives an ok performance,Penelope disappoints.
Before watching Stranger Tides ,i had considered Worlds End(POTC 3) to be the worst POTC movie.But upon watching this movie,i was much more appreciative of Worlds End.There is absolutely no decent story in Stranger Tides.Its an awful collage of previous Pirates movies mixed together with cliches and lazy writing.The story brings up one dimensional characters and useless twists.
Direction by Rob Marshall is completely a waste.Known for his musical movies such as Chicago,Memoirs of a Geisha ,Rob Marshall is out of place in an action movie such as that of the Pirates series.The 2hr movie is stretched to such a point that the viewers feel tortured for seeing this monstrosity.The movie was one of the most dullest and boring movies of 2011.
On release Pirates failed to win the audience like before and resulted in poor domestic collection compared to the other Pirate movies.But the movie was a giant hit overseas and earned more than thrice the domestic collection .This made POTC4 the second movie,after POTC2 (Dead Man's Chest) ,in the POTC series to enter the Billion Dollar league.
Overall,this is one of the worst & boring movies of all time.Miss at all costs.
Acting- 1.5/5
Story- 0.5/5
Direction- 0.25/5
Action- 2.5/5
Comedy- 2/5
Romance- 1/5
Drama- 1/5
