The Pirates series has yet been revitalised following the launch of the new installment in the POC triology oops quadrology now forth. The movie is all about Jack Sparrow..... sorry I forgot there should be a "Captain" somewhere. Johnny Depp continues from where he left in Public Enemies. His performance in one word Stellar. The movie is all about him right from the very start to the very last stroll on the carribean beach where we are still left pondering if a next Pirates is on the cards or not.
The movie is new start fresh with a new story and new characters put into place to appeal to the audience who have not even seen a single part of the so famous franchise. I dearly missed Keira Knightly but with Penelope in the picture we can forgot the British damsel. The movie is dark in comparison to the previous versions, there is a lot of mystery in the story. Questions popping up every now and then but the story is held together by the answers to many a puzzles. And the idea to revolve the story around the myth of the FOuntain of Youth was a masterstroke considering that every one has his own version. And being a fantasy movie we did not even expect anything logically sane. The movie has been wild locales (that is the precise word I would use). The rain forests, the snake and the weird surroundings do manage to seem creepy at times. Creepy, creepy and creepy but yeah gripping. The movie rolls on smoothly and I did not even realize that it was already intermission time when it actually came. And to top it all beautiful mermaids. Except for the part where they kill, elsewhere they just managed to grab my fantasy.
Coming to the acting scene, Johnny Depp runs the movie from beginning to end. Give him any role and he would not disappoint no matter what. Penelope is a pretty damsel who manages to fit into the scenario. Other characters form the integral part of the POC franchise and they did chip in with good performances. Keira and Orlando were missed but the Jack made sure the miss was not that huge and the movie did revive the franchise.
Go for it and watch it. I will give it a 4 star rating.
