The sets from old London to and abondoned beached ship work very well, the attention to detail is superb and the comic lampooning of England's mad king George is even managed in an understated tastefully hilarious fashion. Stranger than reality certainly, but done such with such flair and aplomb, attention to detail and quality dynamics within the cast that it simply draws the viewer along for the duration, almost a couple of hours of enthralling escapism.Ī few of the priciples are still on cast from the first "pirates", but there's new faces as well. The storyline in "stranger tides" if handed as a screenplay would be hard to credit.įountain of youth - mermaids - pirates - curses - galleons on mountainsides and skeletal corpses comfortable in bed. Well, I'm going to go and put this DVD in the player right now and watch it again tonight.

If you are reading this review in order to make a decision about purchasing this movie let me admonish you to buy it. When the credits started I immediately checked my feeling and emotions and gave this movie a thumbs up. I always judge a movie by the way it makes me feel when it is over. I got caught up in the story and was glued to the screen throughout the movie. I was never bored and always had my intellect stroked. I absolutely loved Bill Nighy as Davy Jones and Martin Klebba as Marty was great for making me laugh many times.Īs far as the dialog/action ratio, I feel that this movie was done right.
As far as I am concerned these two stole the show every time they appeared on screen. No, I'm not talking about Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley but some of the more colorful characters like Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Cook as Pintel and Ragetti. I'll admit that I was, at first, a little disappointed that some of the characters from the other three movies were not present but like some of the other reviewers I forgot them completely soon after the first few minutes. I loved it! Hands down, no hesitation, no argument.

(At World's End) I know, this is not a very popular opinion because most critics seem to dislike the amount of dialog.īut how about the fourth movie (On Stranger Tides) for which this review is being written? Was it good enough for a lover of the series (as I am) to enjoy it? Did it fall flat on it's face like most sequels seem to do? Was it worth the price of admission? I was dreading watching the movie because my favorite of the three original POTC movies was the third. Nallick's review before I purchased the movie and was expecting 75 to 90 percent action. Maybe that says something about my level of intelligence - I hope not. The dialog, in fact, was so prevalent and convoluted that I said to myself several times that I was going to have to watch this movie several times to understand exactly what was going on. True there was action enough to sate the action lovers among us but my version was heavy on dialog in the first half.
The version that I bought was completely different. I must have purchased a different movie that had been mislabeled with the same title. Brian Nallick wrote, "The first half of the movie is VERY heavy on action with little bits of dialog in between the chaos." This is the part I don't understand.
