Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past, and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard, Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Beautiful, moving film.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Better than the third, about the same as the second, not nearly as good as the first - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides takes way too much time setting everything up and then doesn't really deliver in the end. This movie has some entertaining moments (like the mermaid scene), but the rest of the movie feels flat and forced. I think it's high time this franchise be put to rest in the depths of Davy Jones' locker.
For the not so demanding movie goer this might be just enough to be entertained, for anyone slightly more choosy this film is rather lame to say the least. Most elements are foreseeable, while poorly acted and story-wise unnecessary in parts. This movie is Hollywood by the numbers, an overly long fast food production without real content and an offense to the previously established characters and franchise. If you are watching this to see another part of the franchise, this might work for you. If you're watching this, expecting a good pirate movie with twists and turns and witty dialogues, you will be disappointed.
The fourth episode of the saga "Pirates of the Caribbean" is disappointing. There is a less impressive Jack Sparrow (I said Jack Sparrow not Johnny Deep), a film with a scenario too simple that doesn't put anything and nobody in value, or even Black Beard that arrives like a hair on the soup, we had never heard of it, and there is also emblematic characters missing, like Will and Elizabeth but also the two pirates of the Black Pearl who were recurrent since the first opus. Finally, the biggest flaw, in my opinion, of this film is that in the title "Pirates of the Caribbean" there is the word "Pirate", so it should happen at sea but however, 70 percent of the film happens on the ground and without the Black Pearl. All this makes this movie an average movie not worth more than 5/10. Définitly the movie too.
After the original trilogy, there wasn't much story left to tell with Will and Elizabeth, so Disney wished to continue the franchise putting a heavier focus on Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. On Stranger Tides featured Sparrow at the center of everything, which can be a good and bad thing.I don't necessarily think it was the best idea to make Sparrow the only character with significant depth, but I also don't think having the story involve mermaids and an overly powerful supernatural villain either. The Pirates films at their best when the stakes are high but are also grounded with some realism. One of the reasons At World's End is a much better film is because there are stakes in that film. William's sacrifice feels earned because we've been with these characters for a few films. I never connected to anyone in On Stranger Tides because the writing never makes a considerable effort to flesh out the characters. The efforts that are made aren't very committed.As a standalone sequel, which is essentially what this film is, On Stranger Tides is far from awful. It has plenty of fun swashbuckling action scenes that the franchise has always presented. Ian McShane is pretty good as Blackbeard, though he doesn't really compare to anything Bill Nighy or Geoffrey Rush did in the original trilogy. But the film itself presents a far goofier tone than any of those films. Sparrow is even more over the top (believe it or not) and thus removing any human connection to the characters.I think it's best to treat this entry as a distant cousin people choose not to acknowledge at a party, because it has next to nothing to do with any of the other films (even the most recent film, Dead Men Tell No Tales). There are flashes of the Pirates we know and love but it's nowhere near as grandiose or as magical as its predecessors.+Flashes of greatness-Forgettable-Characters are getting a little too over the top5.6/10
