Directed by Rob Marshall / Written byTed Elliot & Terry Rossio
I was bored to no end. Seriously. If it wasn't for the reoccurring theme of compassion, kindness and mercy this movie would have been completely void of soul, and even now it was just a lukewarm, rarely spotted flicker of a dying flame.
I mean, SERIOUSLY. It was just another tired gag after gag after yet another yawn-a-licious restlessly cut escape scene with five different shots of the same barrel roll yeah can you hear me snore already?
There is nothing wrong with the acting or the visual stuff or the props (man that ship was awesome, I want one); It's just that when you write a story thinking only of audience and profits and popularity and "ooh, which pirate myth should I rip this time", the story will be hollow. When creating a story, one shouldn't be focusing on the people who might perhaps possibly maybe end up experiencing it in the future.
The emptiness of this fourth PotC makes me really sad, considering the storytelling might of the first three. Something has clearly been lost, tampered on and forgotten.
PS. That religious dude is totally going to reappear in the next movie.
