I also enjoyed the scene that featured Jack’s mutinous meeting with members of Blackbeard’s crew. Providence crew were among the most terrifying scenes I have seen in the franchise since the Kracken’s attacks in “DEAD MAN’S CHEST”. Or should I say, scenes? The mermaids’ attacks upon Blackbeard’s men and upon the H.M.S. There were other aspects of “ON STRANGER TIDES” that I enjoyed. And considering that the latter’s appearance in this film seemed somewhat limited, it seemed just as well that Graham received more screen time. Graham’s Scrum almost struck me as a younger version of Jack’s old friend, Joshamee Gibbs. And I must admit that not only did McShane made a witty and terrifying Blackbeard, he handled his character’s twisted relationship with Angelica beautifully.
And yet, he proved to be nothing more than an emotional vampire who would easily kill his daughter if she got in the way of his goal – the Fountain of Youth. There were times when he conveyed the image of a concerned and loving father. Unfortunately, McShane’s Blackbeard seemed like poor father material. need for her father’s love that made her into some kind of twisted Daddy’s girl wannabe. Although it is obvious that she remained attracted to her former lover Jack, she seemed to have this. Cruz did an excellent job in portraying the complex Angelica, who happened to be the daughter of Blackbeard. All three were perfectly cast in their respective roles. I could also say the same about the performances of Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane and Stephen Graham as Angelica, Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and a sailor named Scrum, respectively. However, both actors gave top notch performances and I could find nothing to complain about. He seemed to be doing his best to project the image of an officer and a gentleman. There was a scene that featured him eating slices of fruit arranged on a plate. And Barbossa seemed out of place as a privateer for His Majesty King George II and the Royal Navy. In this fourth movie, Jack seemed to have become swept up in Blackbeard and the British Crown’s agendas. And in “AT WORLD’S END”, he was still after Jones’ heart in order to gain the opportunity to become master of the Flying Dutchman and immortality. He was after the chest that contained Davy Jones’ heart in “DEAD MAN’S CHEST” to be used to avoid a debt that he owned. In “CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL”, he was after the Black Pearl. For once, Jack did not have a particular goal to attain in this film. But I noticed something odd about their characters in this movie.
Both Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush were in top form as Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbossa. There were aspects of it that I genuinely enjoyed. But unlike “DEAD MAN’S CHEST” and “AT WORLD’S END”, I found it difficult to enjoy “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES”.

But Disney and Bruckheimer went ahead with their plans and a fourth movie eventually hit the movie theaters. I thought the three movies released between 20 made a neat little trilogy. especially the second film.Ībout two years after “AT WORLD’S END” hit the theaters, the Disney people and Bruckheimer had released news of their intention to make a fourth film. I ended up enjoying the two movies just as much as I had enjoyed “CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL” . But after seeing 2006’s “DEAD MAN’S CHEST” and 2007’s “AT WORLD’S END”, my opinion had changed. When the Walt Disney Studios and producer Jerry Bruckheimer had first released news of their intention to make sequels to their 2003 hit movie, “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL”, I reacted to the news with a great deal of wariness. “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES” (2011) Review
