Movie Review- PC4

Or "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides".

I saw PC1 and 2. I didn't see PC3, as the consensus from everyone I know who saw it was about the same as ST6 and -10: "This really sucked."

But I digress.

Really, the only reason I can think of to go and see PC4 is to watch Johnny Depp make another pass at the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly are not in this one and they are not at all missed. There is a hint of a storyline that sort of is the glue for a series of action sequences. The musical score is overpoweringly loud; whoever set the audio levels in post-production had to be 3/4ths deaf.

In checking the times, PC4 is the shortest of all of the series. I felt that it was still too long. The best comment I overheard on that was when everyone was leaving; some girl said: "How long was that movie, a month?"

Unless you feel a need to see it on the big screen, this one is a rental.

In the previews, there was a trailer for a movie called "Real Steel", which appears to be a movie based on the game "Rock`em, Sock`em Robots". If that sounds incredibly far-fetched, remember that they've gotten four full-length movies out of an anamatronic ride at Disneyland.
