Summer Sequels:Pirates of the Caribbean- On Stranger Tides

"Your Forgetting one very important thing mate,am captain Jack sparrow" and also the fact that no matter how many movies the pirates franchise churns out, we all will flock out in hordes to catch captain jack in action again, wont we.So when Jerry Bruckheimer brought out pirates 4 , an over excited film buff (me) went for the first show of pirates , to catch our favorite pirate in the awesomeness of 3D.But as they say "with great power(fan following) comes great responsibility(putting on a good show).So did jack bring back the magic without the help of orlando bloom and keira knightly (both whom i detest in the other movies) . Well lets see-

Here's a small synopsis to make you walk the plank-
When Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with the enigmatic Angelica, he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the "Queen Anne's Revenge," the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard, Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past.

Stranger tides starts of with a new adventures of Jack sparrow on his own without the annoying pair of will turner and Ms swan,the aim of every pirates movie been a focus on adventure and laughter which track the escapades of Jack . All the ingredients seem to be right in this movie (zombies,mermaids,black beard,barbossa and the Spanish) and yet it seems to lack that magic.The main factor should also be attributed to the use of 3D in this movie, which finds itself as more of a liability making the whole movie look dull and hazy without adding to the special effects.Its a movie where you go expecting a lot out of it but ends up been a no show .But as they always this will be remembered as the time when jack sparrow almost flopped , i say again almost , cause Johnny depp just manages to single handly rescue the movie and the franchise(rumor mill: pirates 5 to come) .
