The latest Pirates film “Pirates of the Caribbean” focuses on the elixir of youth, and both the theme park ride as well as the movie and the sale of pirate costumes all benefit from the publicity
Once again Johnny Depp portrays a sly and swaggering as Pirate, his attention seeking attitude is not enough to make this picture a success. It is a long film as Johnny Depp and his adversaries compete to find the magic potion of youth.
These boisterous pirates finally arrive on the island supposed to hold the potion. However due to the length of the film, You’ll have aged somewhat when they arrive.
The scene opens quite energetically as trouble prone Captain Jack Sparrow, finds himself once again imprisoned and working on an escape plan. A fat and powdered King of England his military authorities have him tethered to a chair and ready for questioning. He throws clever insults at his jailers and seems more occupied
is more interested in trying to get hold of a cream cake just out of his reach.
We know he will escape because it’s clear he is going to have the cake. Out hero excite us as he swings from a palace chandelier, runs through the crowded town streets, and bumps into Judi Dench as a lady in a horse drawn carriage.
You would be forgiven for recalling Douglas Fairbanks in his role as Sinbad the Sailer 60 odd years ago.
Unfortunately Sparrow’s latest adventure is not as endearing as it develops. Gore Verbinski directed the initial three films with a feel for pop culture, The new director Rob Marshall has a more pedantic and boring touch.
Sparrow and his entourage others are sent on a search for the fountain of youth which simply consists of ships sailing and of pirates people hacking through the jungle.
The original characters of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly do not make an appearance in this 4th movie.
