Because their wasn't a trend of ambiguous endings at the time where taking the director's words on the matter was dubious.

The third was close to terrible and it causes me concern this new one will also continue down that path. Hopefully they themselves realize the need to simplify and create a decent story again that's free of over the top and unbelievable scenes.

I have loved everything cousin Johnny has been in, the pirate movies are no exception. Will be weird not having the whole crew back, but it looks like Barbosa is still around so that is good.

I enjoyed it.

I thought the third was a bit over the top. But it did succeed on a couple of levels. This one didn't focus so much on the ridiculous over the top sea battles. There were big sword fights, but it's a fucking pirate movie. I thought the character development was solid, except for the Missionary who could have been given a more central role, but whatever.

Also, Barbosa was pure awesome. He as a Privateer was hilarious, but his actions implied that he was pure Pirate. In fact, his motivation behind being a Privateer made him more badass. His ending was definitely fan service for the series.

This wasn't very good. Penelope Cruz's character was just awful. As was the whole story with the missionary and the mermaid, which could've been lifted straight out of the film with nothing of value lost.

Johnny Depp was entertaining enough, and Ian McShane was good. Otherwise flick would've been a total loss.

"Reviews"

I am so jaded by the concept of 'professional reviews'. Haven't read a review article in a while. At best I just wanted validation for something I liked, at worst some pretentious cob pisses me off with some overly critical prose about how his tastes haven't been met.

I trust friends (like yourselves) for reviews of any kind, for better or worse.

Oh, so we're friends, but you won't take our advice on Mass Effect.

Finally saw this recently and loved it. Thought it was the best since black pearl. I didn't mind the lack of focus on the missionary, there were enough characters for the movie to focus on. He served his purpose and we didn't need another will Elizabeth story.

Black beard was great but underused. Barbossas storyline was the star.

Surprised by the harsh reviews, maybe people are pirated out.
