Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Everything that everyone expected would be wrong with this film was proved right. It's still POTC, it's still a watchable romp, however the main problem is a boring mid-section that finds you looking at your watch every five minutes.

I didn't read any reviews before seeing it, mainly not to put myself off, but changes in Jack Sparrow and a convoluted script manage to suck the life out of this (formerly) trashy and bombastic franchise.

Shame, because Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp's chemistry almost set the screen on fire.
