The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Better than the third, about the same as the second, not nearly as good as the first - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides takes way too much time setting everything up and then doesn't really deliver in the end. This movie has some entertaining moments (like the mermaid scene), but the rest of the movie feels flat and forced. I think it's high time this franchise be put to rest in the depths of Davy Jones' locker.

Of all the sequels to the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, this was the most meh. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad movie. But it might be a bit of a stretch to call it a good one. So this film finds itself stuck in the middle.Acting, once again, was fantastic, the music was great, and the effects were beautiful. The plot, once again, though, is what killed it.The main flaw of the movie is that it doesn't feel like a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and more like a spin off adventure. This probably happens because it lacks several characters who had major roles in the last movie. Case in point: Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan, Pintel, and Ragetti. These are the characters who seemed to be missing from the movie. Of course, there were others, such as Davy Jones, but most of those characters are dead, and even though that didn't stop Barbosa, bringing back Davy Jones would be flat out illogical. The rest of the movie was pretty good, but the fact that it remained so unfaithful to the other movies makes this one feel less like a proper movie, and more like a Netflix spin off.

This is one of those movies I knew going in that I would have a hard time with. I was told many things about this movie that were only criticism and hate. While I try to form my own opinion on every movie I see and begin by ignoring anything I've heard, This movie fell terribly short of any review I had heard or the past trilogy of POTC.Missing two of the greatest assets of the franchise hurt this movie some, but the main reason this movie suffered was because of the supporting roles not stepping up to the plate. Sparrow and Barbosa did well in keeping the adventure interesting, but the other roles fell short. In my opinion, this insert was flawed in a major way and damaged the franchise. While the plot was okay, it didn't come together and the new characters hurt this movie in comparison to the first trilogy.

I never been a fan of pirates films until I happened upon this monster of a franchise helmed by non other than Joshamee Gibbs. His actor holds nothing back and watching his performance is what can only be described as having a full blown orgasm in the cinema. Gibbs alone would get this film a 9/10 but the fact that we learn that he has a cousin named Jeremy raises it beyond human comprehension. This film should be called Pirates of the Caribbean: Joshamee Gibbs because he carries this film with his own bear hands. Also Johnny Depp is there but no one really cares about him.
