Entertaining and annoying at once. I'm sick of watching Johny Depp and all the girls getting wet around him. It lacked high-paced action. It lacked humor. It lacked any female character that was worth watching.

Dumb and formulaic, but at least it wasn't irritating.

Not especially bad, but not really good either. The magic of the first still eludes the series.

I love Ian as Blackbeard, plus captain Jack is back again as the witty pirate we all love. You add in zombies and mermaids and you have yourself a fantastic voyage on the high seas.

1- absolute torture, terrible

Far better than the last two sequels. The plot makes slightly more sense and the action scenes are pretty thrilling. I particularly liked the mermaid sequence. Beyond that though, Pirates of the Caribbean has run its course with me as far as my expectation for entertainment.

I still like it because it's a Pirates movie, and this is just a series I enjoy no matter what. However, it's definitely the weakest of the bunch to date. Ian McShane is entertaining as Blackbeard, but the whole thing is just a bit too bland and by-the-numbers.

it was a great idea to shed the series of the pitfalls of the last two movies. they made the movie a standalone movie and nix bloom and knightly who gave us way too much drama and simply didn't help the action. unfortunately the writing was neglected and instead of knightly we have cruz, who is just as hot, but about %30 more annoying.

Loud, bombastic and obnoxious; pulls off the simultaneous feat of being gloomy and dull. Hard to fathom how it could have gone so wrong after the charming 1st and 3rd entries, and quite wonderful 2nd film. A fine cast is hung out to dry delivering an array of equally shrill and irritating performances (you know you're in trouble when you can't even count on Rush) and threadbare plot is padded out to an absurdly bloated running time. A marginally fun opening sequence provides the only interest.

The first half is nonsensical to the point of absurdity and serves as a reminder that you could be watching the original. The second half is genuinely amusing and good fun. It didn't quite deserve the critical thrashing it was given as it benefits greatly from the absence of Bloom and Knightley and it's better than At Worlds End, although that is an extremely low standard to meet.

"Johnny Depp dances for 2 hours." There are other characters, including Sparrow's father for some reason and Blackbeard for another, but none of them are especially important to this meandering plot which stretches out for far too long and has more boring scenes than any of consequence, including a random love story between some guy and a mermaid just thrown in to the pleasure of no-one. Depp's drunken-pirate act is old and not enough to save this horrible movie. Kill this franchise already.

Definitely better than the 3rd one. Ian McShane makes for a good pirate.

Scenery chewing by some entertaining actors makes for some decent fun. By this point expectations were pretty low and it never wowed me, but I still enjoyed it.

Enjoyable, better than the two other sequels anyways! Luckyly they left out all the sea-Gods and afterlifes this time. The whole everything-is-bigger-and-badder was getting tiredsome.

Thank god I'm watching these damn blockbusters on DVD, and not wasting my time and money in going to the theater.

Fails when compared to the first three.

Pirates of the Caribbean is great when not tries to invent too much, being a good entertainment and nothing more.

Bad movie

Ho-hum fourth entry into this past its prime Pirate series.

Another fun installment in the series, and it especially benefits from adding Ian McShane and especially Penelope Cruz (who may be the second most charismatic character in the entire series). They spend a lot of time away from the seas in this episode, which I thought was a good idea, and it gives the film even more of an Indiana Jones feel than it had before. Is it me or does Jack Sparrow seem to spend every single movie either in someone's captivity or stranded? That's getting stale.

Usual nonsense but a little over long
