![]() The movie finds the ever-plucky sea-going rascal Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) once again in trouble with the King's court and about to be executed. ![]() With that, this is a kind of trimmed down POTC movie. Having left behind many of the familiar characters (Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightly and Jonathan Price are absent this time), the movie is free to find new characters and a new arena to play in. That's not good for what should be a simple pirate movie. My apprehension comes from the experience of the previous films, which I complained were too long and so overwritten as to become convoluted. Yet, as I always do, I allowed myself to be open minded (you never know when a movie will surprise you) and I found the movie quite enjoyable. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the third sequel in Disney's highly-successful series, is not a movie that I went into with much anticipation. As the fourth round approaches there's an apprehension of what has come before and what is new that is left to be discovered. In movies, as in marriage, the fourth go-around can get a little tricky.
