Note de Bungle-9
I went in expecting to be disappointed, after the trashing the majority of the critics gave this movie. I came out quite happy actually, and so will you, probably.
While it's not on par with 'Curse' and not as humorous as the previous trilogy, it's still got more focus and less film-flam than the last two entries. At two hours it might seem a little long, but it's all full of story - a straightforward, focused story that maintains pace and direction throughout. The start is a little fuzzy, but by half way through the train is well on the right track.
Nice.
Most of the jokes fall to Depp who does a stirling job with Sparrow, whilst the tone of the rest is somewhat more adult, by which I mean "grown-up" as opposed to anything else. Less silliness. That's not a bad thing - I found the more adult nature of the film to be quite satisfying. There is plenty of adventure to be had here.
It also doesn't have Keira Knightley or Orlando Bloom in it. Another plus.
Penelope Cruz is feisty and sexy and everything Knightley wasn't, though if anything Ian McShane could have been a lot more intimidating than he was. That said, he was adept at barking orders and being reasonably menacing, though his relationship with his ship could have been expanded a little. Geoffrey Rush made the most of his diminished role, and the way his story is resolved, despite it looking a little silly at the start, is quite neat.
All in all this is a satisfying entry into the series and proof yet again of how the cynical critics are out of touch with the wider audience.

I'm going to make it quick so you can make a quick decision when deciding to see this or not.
What has it got going for it? Great effects, interesting exploitation of the teleportation idea, a decent performance from Jamie Bell, a good score, a good soundtrack and Samuel L. Jackson, the US equivalent of Michael Caine.
What's it got against it? Unclear shaky cam action, poor dialogue between the male and female leads, little characterisation, irritating editing, wooden performance from Christiensen, wooden performance from Bilson, no chemistry between the two, poor pacing and no sense of passage of time. Also Samuel L. Jackson doesn't swear.
So there you have it. I'm sure you can decide by weighing up those lists. If you like eye candy or any of the people starring in it in the hope that one day they may be waiting for you for real instead of a wall poster when you arrive home some day, then perhaps you'll get something out of it. If not, save your money and see something better instead. There is so much more to choose from!
Mr. Liman, you've lost your Bourne Identity.

I'm not a big fan of musicals unless the music isn't typically that of a musical if you get me - for example The Blues Brothers, O Brother Where Art Thou and Chicago are amongst my favourites in the genre.
What do I not like about this movie - I felt that it was poorly paced, spent too long on certain plot points that could have been covered more efficiently and the character setup was a bit slow. The music I found wasn't particularly memorable and conflicted with the dark tone of the story and characters too much to pull me into the universe. I did notice that some themes were reprised at different points to make an emotional and musical mark, which is good musical practice, but a day after having seen it I can't recite a single bar from it.
What does it have going for it then? Well it looks fantastic, very grim and dirty. Performances from the leads - Bonham Carter, Depp, Spall, Rickman, Baron Cohen - were good and committed. It was also a good choice to have the actors do their own singing, to make it a bit more believable. The killing scenes were disturbing, which is a good thing as that is what you'd be looking for in this kind of deal, and sometimes they were dealt with a bit of black humour, also a good thing. I thought that the final frames, even though they were grisly, were beautiful and poignant.
All in all a mixed bag for newbies. If you like musicals, worth a watch. If you're already a fan of the musical, worth a watch. If you're not fussed on musicals, there's probably still something in it to make it worth going to see.
