To say there's a change in atmosphere and tone is like saying there's a change in acting: the difference is unmistakable. Then there's the direction, with Gore Verbinski is gone, replaced by Rob Marshall of ' Chicago' and ' Nine' fame. On paper, this fourth film has two great strengths working for it in the amazing Ian McShane and the fitting Penelope Cruz, while the two biggest acting weaknesses, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are nowhere to be found (they're not even mentioned or hinted at). 'On Stranger Tides,' the first new 'Pirates' film in four years, after the original trilogy wrapped up its characters in a neat little bow and jettisoned their increasingly ridiculous drama for smoother sailing, trades in one set of problems for another.

As the world's most unconventional, seat-of-his-pants pirate works his magic in the heart of London, in front of the King, no less, outsmarting an army at the heart of their strength, I wasn't pulled into the film, I was tempted to look at my watch. That moment, sadly, was far too early in the film, as the opening sequences concerning yet another daring escape by Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) had that lingering feeling like we've seen it before, some time ago.only better, and in the same series. It's funny, as I'm rarely able to do so, but I can pinpoint the exact moment that 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' lost me, the moment where I felt I was watching an inferior knockoff to the original film trilogy.
