The film will be liked by fans of the franchise, but will also be understood by others who haven’t seen the earlier films. Sparrow’s antics and the climax are engaging. However, the pre-climax, where the priest tries to help the captured mermaid, seems contrived. As most of the characters (including the famous Jack Sparrow and the cunning Barbossa) are the same, the introduction of new ones (the evil Blackbeard and his zombie ship crew and the beautiful but murderous mermaids) keeps the viewer engrossed. Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio’s script, loosely based on the novel, On Stranger Tides, by Tim Powers, is entertaining and engaging.
However, this loss is more than compensated by Jack Sparrow and Angelina’s excellently choreographed sword-fight and the mermaid–attack sequence. As a result, the action quotient goes a few notches below.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is different from the previous ‘Pirates’ films because of two reasons – (i) it no longer has the characters of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, and (ii) it gives the typical Pirates style sea-fights a miss.
