Because Mermaid was driving me, her brother, and herself nuts yesterday, I told her to find a movie and I'd take them to see it.
We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
My response, without giving away any spoilers? There was one scene where I was actually SUPRISED by the actions of a character. Genuinely surprised. Of course, it was the only character/set of characters we didn't get to know well at all, so there you go.
Jack Sparrow was still Jack Sparrow but on less drugs. It's like he still does drugs, but has cut way back and actually makes some sense in a world of craziness. The ONLY human woman in the film, Angelica, is of course stunning as Penelope Cruze (sp?) is stunning. OMG, she is beautiful--except in that one scene where Jack slides in next to her on the bed she's sleeping on. I thought it was a different woman!
( spoilers here, watch out )OKAY, SPOILERY PART ENDS HERE
The movie was entertaining, which is usually all I ask for escapist fun, but I have to admit it did lack a certain streak of anything-goes that the first three did.
I did really like the Missionary, Phillip, and the mermaid. I'm sure (I'm hoping!) they'll be back for Pirates 5. I'm not sure what she was telling him to ask her for, but what the heck.
I missed the other wackadoo pirates from the first series. They added a lot of flavor, and it helps to have more than the top pirates to root for--after all, it's the rank and file that I think many people (me) root for in a movie. The regular guys caught up in the bizarreness of Jack's world.
