When you sit
down for Pirates of the Caribbean: On
Stranger Tides, you know exactly what you're getting: classical piratical
adventure with swordfights, damsels, treasure, and men of questionable hygiene
shouting "Yarrr!"
The film is
competently made, it looks great, and I'm still not tired of Johnny Depp's
Captain Jack Sparrow. Toss in
Penelope Cruz (CDNW) as a foil and love interest, and we have a recipe for high
seas adventure that ought to be worth at least a few more entries. Did POTC
IV capture my imagination as well as the surprising Wrath of the Titans?
No, but it was just the thing to help me while away a couple of hours
while riding as a passenger on a transpacific flight. You could do worse.
