Pirates of the Caribbean 4

If you haven’t watched the first three Pirates of the Caribbean... don’t. Although the first film was fun, the second started losing it and the third? To quote myself:

“Why?... Why?... Why?”

With the focus on an unbelievably (literally, it didn’t make any sense) annoying yo-yo relationship between boring characters Will and Elizabeth set to a pointlessly confusing background story, P of the C 3 hurt.

But let’s not linger on old, painful memories. The past exists for us to learn from our mistakes and improve our future.

Has Pirates 4 done that?
Kinda.

Will and Elizabeth are not mentioned, at all, so immediately a step in the right direction, there are a lot less places to ask “Why?” and the focus is now almost exclusively on Jack, a very big step in the right direction.

Depp is sexy.

If you liked the first film, and are lucky enough to have forgotten the other two, it’s definitely worth a watch.

... huh... I did a whole review without even one spoiler...

First time for everything I guess.

P.S. Jack dies.
