Sooo.. Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on the 20th!!!! And I actually remembered that I have a blog! LOL!! :)
So I thought I'd tell y'all how AWESOME it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I actually wrote a review for this movie website I'm in... so- here it is, and if you get bored, I don't blame you. Let me just say these two things.. 1. I LOVE Jack & Angelica 2. I LOVE Jack & Angelica. ok, i'm done now! LOL!! :):)
The lowdown on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides...
Captain Jack is back!
This adventure follows our old friend's Captain Jack and Gibbs from the busy streets of London, to the high seas, in a quest for the Fountain of Youth.
Some new characters add some spice to an already adventurous tale.
Spoiler Alert...
Personally, I absolutely ADORED this latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean! Jack is just as hilarious as ever, and him and Angelica make quite a pair! I just love those two already!
Now, I can't say I'm surprised Jack leaves her on an island at the end of the movie, I think Jack's scared of his feelings for her and the power they give her over him. Haha:D But honestly, she's perfect for Jack! He just needs to get over being scared! Lol!
I hope that they end up together!
Philip and Syrena! Ah, well, as much as we miss Will and Elizabeth, if anyone could possibly come close to how wonderful they were, then it's Philip and Syrena!! I loved how Philip tried to save everyone and how he was godly!! Made him all the more attractive! Haha:D
And he was so sweet to Syrena!! I love those two also!!!
This movie was so well casted too! All the actors and actresses were absolutely phenomenal! Penélope Cruz was perfect for Angelica!! Like no one besides Johnny Depp could act Captain Jack Sparrow, no one besides Penélope Cruz could act Angelica!!! I really loved Jack and Angelica!! Their chemistry was awesome!! Ok, moving on...
To a couple big misconceptions about this film that a fan won't actually care about...
1. It's not as interesting as the others, it's boring, the plot isn't original, etc...
This movie is like a new beginning. Sorta like a sequel series almost, with Jack and Gibbs and Barbossa returning with new friends...and enemies!
Now, I could be slightly biased, because these are my favorite movies. But I'd say, don't believe any critics reviews you read, read fan reviews! They'll be the ones to tell you how it really was compared to the rest of the series! But really this one can't be compared to the others! It's completely different! If you walk into the theater expecting it to be just like the others, you'll be disappointed. It was different...in a really great, funny, slightly familiar (thanks to Jack) way. It really is a new beginning!
Now to the point of the plot...
Ok, so we all knew Jack would find the Fountain of Youth! This is Jack we're talking about- he's brilliant!! And he wouldn't be Jack Sparrow if he wasn't absently brilliant! It's not fair to go and say the plot is boring because of that. You wouldn't say the plot of At World's End was predictable just because you knew they'd get back from Davy Jone's Locker! But that fact did not make it at all predictable!
Were you confused in the last two movies? I was! I mean, I love them! But I was confused!
So I really appreciated the fact that they left out all the confusing and serious stuff and just made a fun, pirate, high sea, adventure full of laughs, a touch of romance, a few twists to keep things interesting, and a climax worthy of the title Pirates of the Caribbean!
I think, that for anyone who loves the series and is a fan of Captain Jack and a good adventure, this will prove to hopefully be another beginning to a new high sea pirate trilogy!!
2. Who wants Jack tied down with a girl? It's just not Jack!
I have one point to make..can you ever seriously imagine Jack being tied down? By anything?
Now the director Rob Marshall had said that the gamble would be wether the audiences wanted Jack to actually care about someone.
I think they won the gamble. Cause it was funny, and almost heartwarming (if you can call it that pertaining to pirates! Haha) to see Jack suddenly so human, almost scared of the hold she had on him. A little vulnerable and unsure. But almost heroic, protecting Angelica. For a pirate he became rather gallant. The chemistry between those two is absolutely undeniable. No one else could be more perfect for Jack! At first I was like..I can't imagine Jack with a girl...but Angelica is exactly right. She can definitely take care of herself, and is quite different from our former heroine, Elizabeth. She keeps Jack guessing, that's for sure! Penélope Cruz was phenomenal!! I've never seen her in anything else and yet she is now my favorite actress! LoL!!:D honestly, Jack & Angelica are now my favorite couple. Seeing this new side of Jack...he was sweet! Most of all, I loved the way you could tell that they're both totally still in love with each other, but weren't sure if they should...I LOVED them!!!!!
In short...
So, if you love the first 3, Captain Jack, a lot of laughs, and new characters that you'll fall in love with like you did with our beloved Captain, you will love Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, just as much as you do the others. I know I'm glad our favorite pirate is back in a new adventure that's better than ever!:) The whole thing was amazing!!
And hopefully we won't have to wait 4 years for the 5th one!
(Wow! So this is a lot longer than I thought 8o haha:):) Anyways, pirate ramble moment over... for now... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......ok, I'm done now. LoL!!!:):)
