Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Captain Jack Sparrow is back once again in the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Johnny Depp's performance is flawless as always as Jack Sparrow is off to find the Fountain of Youth. At his side for the first time in the series is Penelope Cruz as Angelica, the long lost daughter of the infamous pirate Blackbeard, portrayed by Ian McShane. I personally was disappointed to learn that Kira Knightly and Orlando Bloom would not be appearing in the film, and even more so with Cruz being added to the cast. But after watching the film I quickly realized that Cruz was the perfect fit for Angelica.
'On Stranger Tides' has more action than you need, with plenty of sword fights, dangers at sea, and the always funny chase scene. It is no surprise to me that 'On Stranger Tides' stands as the 8th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, with a box office total reaching over $1 billion. In my opinion this might be the best film of the series... excluding the first film of course. I really could not find a single flaw in the film, everything from the story-line, to the acting, and special effects were outstanding.
Other returning cast members included Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, and Geoffrey Rugh as Captain Barbossa.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides gets a full and well deserved 5 stars from me. This film is what entertainment is all about.
