Johnny Depp dons swashbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow’s hat and eyeliner for another round of the never ending Pirates saga, this time without the help of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. Their lives are cleverly tidied up; its loner pirate Jack that left to carry on the action. A film that’s meant to be aimed at children clearly misses the mark on what will hopefully be the last instalment of what was an exciting adventure.
The storyline is based around Jack finding and claiming The Black Pearl back through obviously awesome stunts, some what similar to the third film some may say. However it becomes hard to stay interested as the storyline wanders and deviates, and not in thrilling way. The cast includes Keith Richards as Jack’s father and the gorgeous Penelope Cruz playing his side kick/love interest, but even this fails to inspire any hope.Johnny Depp rarely fails to impress, yet Jack Sparrow seems to have lost the lustre that his performances usually contain in bulk. There were a few parts during the two hours that brought a smile to my lips, maybe even laughter but I was definitely the only one in the theatre.
Johnny we love you, but maybe its time to hang up Captain Jack Sparrows hat for good.
