Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides received fairly bad reviews across the board. Most sites thought it to be terrible. My problem with critics is they don't rate the movie on the demographic and the expectations that incorporate the following of a movie. Pirates of the Caribbean has never been about making an Oscar winning artsy film, these movies are about action and comedy and having fun at the movies. Acting wise I think everyone was great Geoffrey Rush reprised his role as Captain Barbosa and did, as always, a terrific job. Rush never disappoints and this was no exception playing Jack Sparrow's counterpart in a way. Ian McShane and Penelope Cruz played Blackbeard and his daughter respectively, marking the two new main characters in the Pirates series. Without Will Turner(Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swan(Keira Knightley) the movie needed some new characters for Captain Jack to interact with. Speaking of Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp once again was at his best as the kooky and estrange Captain of the Black Pearl. Now I may be a bit bias as Johnny Depp is my favorite actor but Captain Jack is my favorite character that he plays. There is something about him, he is hilarious and always getting into trouble but even after 4 movies you still feel like there is more to Captain Jack then he is letting on and that's why he is such a great character. He still has potential to do something truly big and if the rumors of another trilogy is true then I'm sure he will once all is said and done. I'm giving this one an 8/10 I know a lot of people will not agree with me but to be truthful this movie is good fun for friends and family and that's the best kind.
