I am a huge fan of the first pirate adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I will admit that I was kind of skeptical of a story that did not involve the characters of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, so I was a little afraid that the 4th installment in the "Pirates" movie collection would be a disappointment. But I was definitely proven wrong!
I had not read any info about the plot of this movie so I went in not really knowing what to expect. The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow covers a lot of ground in this film - starting out in the surprising city of London! I was quickly drawn into the story, which had moderate pacing at first - but was soon racing right along! New characters are introduced amid familiar faces and together they create a world of magical adventure.
Captain Jack and some unlikely allies get caught in a race to find the legendary Fountain of Youth. On their journey, the adventurers encounter zombie-fied pirates, Ponce de Leon's ship, and some surprisingly scary mermaids. Make sure you stay until the end of the credits for a short extra scene!
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The summer movie season is off to a great start with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

ReplyDeleteYAY for a childless night out, I'm jealous! My DH wants to see this movie, I have actually never watched any of the Pirates movies (can you believe it?!) so I'm think I'll watch the others before going to see this one!
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I were just talking about this movie today, how he must keep doing them because he enjoys them so much. I'm looking forward to seeing it! Glad you liked it :)
