yeah I know, and everything I heard was that Thor is great even if you don't like the comic, which I don't.  I'll see it soon.  Maybe I'll sneak a day off from work to do a double feature of pirates and thor

Joby that would make for a nice afternoon. Going to catch Pirates Sunday with my brother and his family. Then its a week off from a new movie until 3 in a row. X-Men: 1st Class June 3, Super 8 June 10, and then Green Lantern June 17.

Mark and I are going on Sunday too.

Saw this 4th Pirates film today and really enjoyed it.  Went over and saw it at a new movie theater in town near Mark's house.  Nice theater, has bowling, a nice restaurant, etc. too.  The movie was a fun romp and more like the first film I thought.  Lots of swordplay and action.  Some great scenes and a tight little story.  Penelope Cruz seemed to fit right in too.  I'd be fine with a number 5.  These movies are just fun to watch and I think they got back on course with this one.  Go see it!

I enjoyed it too. Nice to go with my wife and my brothers family. And I agree with you Rico I think they got back to what made the original so good.

I saw this today, and thought it was a lot of fun. I like the idea that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly are no longer in the series, as I feel for story lines, they are much more free to take these stories in more fun angles without being bogged down with a relationship. I sort of like that it is Captain Jack Sparrow and a few supporting characters on different adventures. I agree, this one had the same spirit as the first one.
[spoiler]The mermaid attack was pretty intense, I can see why all the sailors where afraid to encounter them[/spoiler]

I agree with you guys it was a fun movie, but I thought the story was a little lacking. I feel it wasn't on par with the first one, but possible better than 2 and 3. All in all fun to watch.
[spoiler]And the mermaids were hot right up until they started with the teeth and the killing. I thought that was fun though I've always liked the siren theme for some reason.[/spoiler]

I agree with everything Sheppard said. I too thought the story was a little lacking, but overall, enjoyable. However, I love the characters and the whole Captain Jack world and really enjoyed it. (That said, I would enjoy watching Captain Jack washing his socks!!)

ElfManDan

Jack is just fun to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing more adventures like this in future Pirates movies.

A saw a little behind the scenes spot on Netflix through Starz. It was about 12 minutes long with mostly things I hadn't seen before. It's interesting if you get a chance to check it out.

Just saw the flick, it was fun.  That's really all I can say and if you were expecting more than fun, your watching the wrong film :).

Why?

So the fourth Pirates film is now in the top ten top grossing films worldwide.  That was pretty quick!

We think you'll be hearing an announcement of the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" soon, as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has just entered the top 10 of all-time worldwide box office hits with $956.7 million earned worldwide. The film has passed up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1's $954.5 million and should shortly surpass Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End's $963.4 million to move up to No. 9.

"On Stranger Tides" has reached this point with 76.8% of ticket sales coming from international territories. Domestically, the Rob Marshall-directed adventure has reached $221.5 million, but overseas the film has collected an impressive $735.2 million.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is also in the top 10 at No. 4 with $1.07 billion, while Johnny Depp now has four movies in the top 10, including Alice in Wonderland's $1.02 billion.
