And for those of you like ourselves that are huge Johnny Depp fans, don't even bother reading this, just go watch it! You know you'll love it anyway, even if it's just for the eye-candy! (New eye-candy for you in this one too.)
Melon: I absolutely loved this film! Everything about it was enjoyable from start to finish... I was told by others who have seen it before me that I shouldn't get my hopes up about it, but it was better than the second and third films (which I thought were amazing anyway), so naturally my expectations were high and I am happy to say I wasn't disappointed. I thought it might be a little strange watching it without Elizabeth and Will in this one, but it wasn't that bad as the new characters were amazing and suited the storyline perfectly. One new character in particular was rather nice to look at called Philip, I think it was the long hair, the muscles and the romantic storyline. For any guys reading, there is more than enough eye-candy for you too, what with Penelope Cruz as one of the main characters and the large amount of mermaids. Barbossa and Gibbs were as cool as ever, and the newest pirate SCRUM is a great edition to the story. I would say that the only thing that was upsetting for me really was no more Pintell (Hello Poppet) and Ragetti (The one with the wooden eye)... But if I remember correctly they were on Davey Jones Ship/Will Turner's?... Great watch, would recommend to everyone :)
Atori: The first Pirates film without Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom, but with double Deepness and a new hunk Sam Claflin, it didn't disappoint. The story is centred around the fountain of youth, and each character has a different goal. It opens with one of Jacks many great escapes along with Gibbs. There's a new love interest, this time for Jack with Angelica - Penelope Cruz. A new bad ass in the name of Blackbeard and an added love interest between Philip and the mermaid Syrena. Great action, romance and some good twists. I missed Jack the monkey, though he did make an appearance. A must see film, even without some of the well-loved characters from the last three films, the new cast has made up for it. So watch it already :]
RATINGS:
Melon: I think the overall film is: 10/10 The New characters: 10/10 Special Effects: (mermaids, flame ship etc) 10/10
Atori: Overall Film: 10/10 Storyline: 9/10 New Characters: 10/10
Footnote: For those of you like me (Melon) who like the special features on the DVDs, you'll realise that Johnny Depp has added more to the character of Captain Jack. Like the shin bone that appeared on his head scarf in the third film. He has now got new markings on his face, under his right eye is a small cross and on his chin is a burn/brand mark.
Please watch the film right up until after the credits as there is once again a hidden scene :)
