View it as a spin off and it's a rollicking treasure seeking adventure. Ok lets have it out front right away, this particular writer loved the first film (Curse of the Black Pearl), was disappointed with the second (Dead Man's Chest) and positively found the third (At World's End) to be an incomprehensible bore. Part 4: On Stranger Tides is a shift in another direction, where a group of piratical characters, some we know well, others new to the fold, embark on missions to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. So think "Indiana Jones", "National Treasures" like adventures (hell even "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World") and you get the drift here. Expectation of this franchise getting back to the heady days of that first film will be crushed pretty early on. There's a little too much going on here for it to be safe children's fare, but the adults, especially those who remember the serial sil…

Not a bad movie. Part 4 has Jack Sparrow on a quest to find the fountain of youth. A lot of the important cast that helped make the movie are not in this movie.

At least this is bit shorter than the previous edition of the franchise, but sadly it isn't really any better. Rob Marshall has taken the helm and we have lost Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley - who presumably recognised that the boat has sailed on this much weakened fantasy adventure series. This time around "Jack" (a rather battle-weary Johnny Depp) finds himself looking for the fountain of youth with the newly Anglicised "Barbossa" (Geoffrey Rush) in hot pursuit of him and of his old flame "Angelica" (Penélope Cruz) who happens to be none other than the the daughter of the legendary "Blackbeard" (Ian McShane). Now she is clever. She convinces "Jack" that her dad isn't so well, and that only an elixir of this water can cure him. Thing is, is "Jack" gullible enough to fall for this yarn? Are we? Of course it's not so simple - not only do they need to find the water, they must also fin…
