Released: 2011
Rated: PG-13
Genre: Fantasy
Recommendation: If you like pirates, okay, but to me it was kind of slower than the there Jack Sparrow movies.
Synopsis:
Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
My Thoughts and Summary:
Jack is freeing Gibbs from prison and the awaiting gallows, to be lead into the hands of those he is wanted by, just to learn there is someone impersonating Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack falls into the right place at the right time to meet her, but winds up on the infamous Blackbeard's ship as part of the crew and co-horsed into leading his past lover and Blackbeard to the Fountain of Youth. Captain Jack Sparrow is back with his tip toed walks, swashbuckling swords, and perfectly laid yet improved plans of escape. This one starts off with a few sword fights and old friends in places we wouldn't expect them.
We enjoy the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so had to get this one as well. I enjoyed watching it and all the characters. Jack Sparrow is still my favorite with his flighty personality, yet he's still so damned smart! I love his twisted ways. Angelica Teach (played by Penelope Cruz) was a new addition, and I like her history in which we just barely get a touch of. I hope we get to see more of her in future Pirates movies. But, with this movie I felt it was a little to long and slow moving in many parts. Very good movie, just not what I was looking for in the Pirates movie. I hate to say this, as it was Christmas day we watched the movie, but the kid left to go play with his new toys and the husband kept falling asleep.
I enjoyed the beginning of the movie with Jack being Jack in the dinning room, and the end of the movie with the action and where Angelica ended up. hee hee. I liked that! This is a good addition to the Pirates series, but just slower moving for me.
