(2011, Rob Marshall)
Rob Marshall taking over for Gore Verbinski leaves something to be desired. The cast is decent: Stephen Graham is fun to see, and Keith Richards just looks so cool as a pirate, Ian McShane is a god and is surprisingly under utilized in this film. The whole fountain of youth device is actually decently thought out and I personally loved the actions of the Spanish in the film (seemed believable). Penelope Cruz wasn't too annoying and Johnny Depp is iconic and Geoffrey Rush is a real pirate. Newcomer Astrid Berges-Frisby was appropriately innocent and sexy as the mermaid in distress. Overall the film was thin in its execution and while the 3D was good the movie was just not quite up to the level of the other films. (5/7)
