Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Rob Marshall directs this fourth instalment in the franchise which stars Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush and Ian McShane. Captain Jack Sparrow is caught in between various fractions hunting for the fountain of youth.
I am not sure if we really needed another film in this series but the Jack Sparrow character remains entertaining but possibly not enough to carry the entire film by himself. There is the usual good standard of CGI, sets and the like but the plot does seem to be a bit of a token effort at times. It is a bit of a shame as there are some elements of the film that had scope to be interesting but no one part is really the focus of the film and in the end the script just feels fairly shallow.
3/5
