Pirates Of The Caribbean : On Stranger Tides (2011) 7/10

Starring : Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane
Director : Rob Marshall
Running Time : 137 mins

Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) discovers that someone has been impersonating him in order to cobble together a pirate crew. He soon discovers that the impersonator is Angelica Teach (Cruz), an old flame who forces him aboard the ship of Blackbeard (McShane) and on a journey in search of the fountain of youth and immortality.

In spite of hearing some terrible reviews of the fourth Pirates movie, I actually thought it was pretty good. Granted the plot felt like it had been lifted from an Indiana Jones movie, but the story was sound and proved that you can have Jack Sparrow without the need for Bloom and Knightley. Fans of the original exploits of Captain Jack will like this instalment that keeps him centre stage for the full proceedings.
