Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past, and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard, Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

While seeking the one who pretends to be Jack Sparrow, the real pirate captain encounters an old acquaintance who's in a desperate search of a mythical Fountain of youth. Thus, although with different interests, they go together to search for it. What they will soon find out is that another two parties are heading in the same direction, each with an intention of its own.This fourth installment of the popular franchise presents the latest adventures of captain Jack Sparrow which, different than most of its predecessors, seems to be there just because somebody came with the idea to come with a sequel. Everything seems dull, soulless, made just because it had to be made. The intense action we were accustomed with seems to have drastically decreased, laughter along with it while the story is mediocre at best. Basically, everything good from its predecessors seems to have vanished with little traces left, which are translated into boring dialog with slow or static scenes which do it no good, no matter how you look at it. Even the mind-blowing CGI is scarce if present at all.Unfortunately, there isn't almost anything left to be liked. Despite a couple of old and known characters, which are also very few, you get a couple of new but very forgettable ones. As said early, the story also leaves much to be desired, managing to do little to bring back the viewer from the boredom which surrounds him most of the time.Overall, it's a forgettable fourth movie which as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't have existed. It feels unfinished, made just because it had to be made, without a clear idea which had deserved to be put into picture. Almost everything is mediocre, making it an easily skippable movie. You'll definitely watch it, especially if you're a fan of the series, but be warned. You're in for a big disappointment!

It took me 3 tries to sit through it. At one point I threw an empty bottle across the room when I saw that I still had 55 minutes left in it.Johnny Depp's shtick is wearing thin. I can't not see Tommy Wiseau all over Johnny Depp's continually sloppier and slurrier Jack Sparrow.The romances were just... bad. Like these might work in a different setting or story but not in this one.I saw everything in the plot coming about 20-40 minutes early.Like, this movie was even too boring to be background nonsense while I played Roller Coaster Tycoon on my phone and ate mini donuts.One of the biggest issues is how Jack Sparrow has just the most insane plot armour. Nothing hurts him. Not jumping off a cliff. Not jumping off a tower. Not any of that ridiculous chase scene. Not any of the moronic escape scene.It was endearing when like some minor level of absurd hijinks worked in his favour, but its too many bananas when Jack is Assassin's Creed-ing across the landscape where every action creates a cascade of other actions that perfectly create the exact calamity and circumstances for the wacky outcome to happen flawlessly. And then to follow it with a joke thats basically Jim Halpert staring into the camera.Sometimes the human kickstarted rube goldberg machine is fun. But not in almost every chase/escape/action sequence. Less is more. Ant-Man doesn't have Michael Pena doing his story telling gag 2, 3, 5, 69 times a film.Sword fights are cool.

Fountain of youth and Jack after it- interesting. And yes the interesting chemistry of Jack and Angelica- Jack is not Loyal..Haha. Jack knows nothing but entertaining the viewers with his wits and humour. The introduction of mermaids and interesting love story with the priest are worth mentioning. Overall great to watch.

Everything right and wrong with Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. This movie was released in 2011 and was the most popular movie in this series. The story is about the search for the source of eternal life. The author is Rob Marschall, who first directed a movie from this series. It's a historic movie, with a comic subtitle. We all enjoyed this movie and definitely recommend it! Jack Sparrow searches with Black Beard and Angelica to the source of eternal life. When they reach the source after several fights, Barbossa Zwartbaard kills revenge for his right leg. As a last hope to save his life, Angelica and Blackbeard drink from the jaws. But because Jack gave them the wrong cups, Black Bear dies and Angelica gets extra years of life. An argument contra is that there are many falsehoods in the movie, there is a lot of imagination. Some arguments pro, on the other hand, include the amazing crew, the immersive story line and the good quality. These are some reasons why you should definitely watch the movie. We are certainly not sorry that we enjoyed this movie for two hours.
