The following movie review does contain spoilers, so don’t read if you want to go to cinema spoiler-free!!
The new Pirates venture has been a topic of controversy, some believing the franchise should be finished and others excited to see Johnny Depp don the Sparrow costume yet once again. Disney decided to change up the cast; crew, director and script in an effort to gain back the trust and support of the loyal fans that have stuck with the series throughout.
Although Pirates of the Caribbean- On Stranger Tides will not premiere in theaters until May 20th , much of the public have been able to view the film already at the many screenings held in major cities. Veering off the path of past POTC films that were held in strict privacy, this film has been shown all over the US during the past month for fans to view for free.

Title: High Seas, High Stakes

The worst thing for any pirate is feeling rudderless. The first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies grossed more than $2.6 billion worldwide, not counting additional bounty from video, theme-park rides, and merchandise. But the second and third installments turned off critics and tested devoted audiences’ patience with bloated running times and convoluted subplots. Even Johnny Depp, who has made Capt. Jack Sparrow the most universally beloved invention of his career, admits to being ambivalent about the sequels: “To be perfectly honest, I didn’t see them. I did see the first one. I have not seen the second one or the third one.’ To be fair, he tends not to watch his own movies, but even while making 2006’s Dead Man’s Chest and 2007’s At World’s End, he sensed something was off. “They had to invent a trilogy out of nowhere.’ says Depp, 47.
“It was plot-driven and complicated I remember talking to [Gore Verbinski, director of the first three films] at certain points during production of 2 or 3 and saying, ‘I don’t really know what this means.’ He said, ‘Neither do I, but let’s just shoot it.’ This guy is this guy’s dad, and this guy was in love with this broad. It was like, ‘What?”’
