Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean 4

[tellytubby101]

Suuucked.

Suuuuuucked so baaaad.

It was nicely done, aesthetically speaking, but the plot. Or should I say, the LACK of plot.

UGGGH. WHAT DID I WASTE TWO HOURS WATCHING? *Headdesk.* Seriously. That was mindless. I disliked the lack of direction/plot/description/etc.

Jack is a great minor character, but God, as a major character he feels like a Gary Stu. IDK.

WTF WAS UP WITH THE MERMAID AND THAT DUDE? asdfghjkl; There were so many pointless, poorly written sub-plots. Ridiculous.

*Headdesks some more.* Why do they keep dragging this franchise out? (Because stupid idiots like me go see it...) BLARGHY. Sad thing is, if there's another movie, I'll see it. D:

At least I caught up with an old friend and had a good time. :)

I think the problem stemmed from them trying to squeeze Jack Sparrow into the plot of Tim Power's On Stranger Tides, essentially switching Sparrow for the main character from the novel. (Haven't read the book, but I assume that's where the priest and the mermaid came from.)

They're contracted for two more movies.

... Two more movies. Oh God. I think they'd be more enjoyable (I mean, they're rather pretty movies) if I could let go of the plot, but the plot holes are SO BIG. Priest and mermaid, wtf happened with them asdfghjkl;

And I noticed that the movie was based off a book in the credits. There may have been potential in the book!canon, but yeah, Jack Sparrow and the entire movie felt off-kilter. :/
