‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’
Before the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise got so tired that Johnny Depp stopped bothering to learn his lines, the series had one last hurrah which, while not fantastic, is still better than it’s remembered to be. “On Stranger Tides” features great performances from Ian McShane, Penelope Cruz and Sam Claflin, and while putting Jack Sparrow front and center doesn’t entirely work, the movie is the most recent big budget pirate movie that’s vaguely worth watching, so that must count for something.
