Went on vacation last week. While I was there, I got to see the latest Pirates movie. It was actually good, though somewhat predictable. It was definately better than Pirates 2 and 3. If you don't believe me, Ask a Ninja.
Anyway, let me highlight some of the movies good points.
1) Barbossa. Screw Johnny Depp. Barbossa is the best pirate. I love his laugh when he's doing something crazy.
2) Story. This one had one, which was a nice change from the last two.
3) Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly. This movie lacked them. Major bonus.
4) Vampire mermaids. Many people were corrupted by Disney's The Little Mermaid, but this movie had what mermaids really were in ancient lore. They started to sing, luring the men down, then pulled them under in order to eat the flesh from their bones. Besides shooting webs like Spider-man, they were viciously cool. By the way, I watched this with my cousin who is also a single male. I could not resist making a joke. After watching them viciously attack men, I whispered to him, "That's pretty much my view of women." He thought it was funny, which is good because I could not resist.
Anyway, if you enjoyed the first pirates movie and despised the latter, I highly recommend this movie.
