Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, an adventure film recently released 2011, considered to be the top 100 films between five years. The role of the main character, Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp is a famous captain around the waters that circle the lands of this film. The story goes as Cpt. Jack Sparrow embarks on a journey to the fountain of youth. He meets Unfortunately he is not the only pirate on the seas. Captain Barbossa, played by Geoffrey Rush is also hot on the tail representing the British, but in earlier times he was a former captain. Cpt. Jack Sparrow runs into an old girlfriend Angelica played by Penelope Cruz. He later realizes that she is the daughter of Black Beard himself. Soon Sparrow is captured and enslaved on black beards ship “The Queen Anne’s Revenge”. So throughout the movie the three captains are in search for the mystical and elusive fountain of youth. A type of theme this film would be fit for is adventurous, or going after what you believe in. As Cpt. Jack Sparrow the audience has grown to know what type of person he is. In the movie critics rave that though it was an exponential film I lacked time, it was the shortest compared to all the other sequels, says Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. It’s probably because of the new director that replaced Jerry Bruckheimer with new director Rob Marshall. I agree that it was shorter but overall it was a great movie filled with almost everything that was in its past films. My overall opinion on the movie is that it was great, spectacular, and memorable in many ways. I saw it in 3D so it made it a lot better. It’s one of those films where you can just sit back and know what to expect without knowing what to expect. So of course it’s worth your time and money if you want to remember one great movie experience.
