After the last two installments left me crying with disappointment, I Loved it. Remember to stay on after the credits for an EXTRA scene. Australian Gemma Ward even sings during an evocative moment. The once romantically entangled Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Angelica (Penélope Cruz) engage in a dance of deception aboard the Queen Annes Revenge. As dark as they are, they take the viewer into their web of intrigue. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) faces off against the fearsome Blackbeard (Ian McShane) in the captains cabin of the Queen Annes Revenge. Finally, the highlight is the Mermaid scenes. The action is elevated by some wonderful 3D effects but I am sure the film would be just as rocking without it. Depp walks through his lethargic swaying pirate character with ultimate ease, while new high seas bad boy Blackbeard is exceptional, but not as cool as Sparrows former flame played by Cruz. There is also a couple of hilarious cameos, one may be familiar but the other was a right royal shock. Don't worry I won't give anything away here but be aware that the opening 20 minutes is one funny sequence and quirky one liner after another. These Pirates films are all about entertainment and thankfully this latest adventure with Captain Jack Sparrow at the helm is back to basics, reminding me of the formula that made the very first one, Curse of the Black pearl so great.
