If Pirates 4 had more swishing and less swashbuckling, it would have made for a more enjoyable movie. And yet, Jack Sparrow remains one of the wittiest and most endearing antiheroes to put on eyeliner and swish across the deck of a schooner. The Pirates series has failed to generate a satisfying and coherent plot since its debut installment in 2003. Rare is the character who can engender devotion while helming such a tedious franchise. And so they will only be mildly disappointed in this lackluster effort at blockbuster moviemaking. I would wager that many moviegoers who turn out for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will not do so because their imaginations are so stirred by nautical adventures, but to see Johnny Depp's Captain Jack. Despite the ponderous spectacles that were Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, I was looking forward to my fourth date with Jack Sparrow at the cineplex.
