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.

Good movie but grossly overrated
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Fountain of youth and Jack after it- interesting. And yes the interesting chemistry of Jack and Angelica- Jack is not Loyal..Haha. Jack knows nothing but entertaining the viewers with his wits and humour. The introduction of mermaids and interesting love story with the priest are worth mentioning. Overall great to watch.
Movie Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (2011)Arguably the most accomplished movie of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series in perspective of daring the impossible by shooting in Redcode RAW (4.5K) exposed in 5K dual-strip 3-D digital camera system as source format, taking intentionally drawbacks in camera movement through the immense size of the all-set camera rig, and gather a total production budget that secretly overtook, if to belief Industry-Insiders, the bench mark of 300 Million U.S. Dollars for one single stand-only-sequel that comes with running time of just slightly over 120 Minutes excluding the credits, making "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" the most expensive movie by screen-time of approximately expenses of 3.024 Million Dollars per minute.The adventure action picture, directed by surprisingly well-received former choreographer and usually a suspect for cutting-edge contemporary musical production Director Rob Marshall handles his star-spangled ensemble cast, going out from in-the-zone of Keith Richards meeting actor Johnny Depp, who handles any encounter with any cast members within the picture with utmost care, especially actress Penélope Cruz as the character of Angelica, who seemingly becomes the strongest counterpart in the movie series to challenge the character of Jack Sparrow, reminiscencing the ease of Ted Demme's film "Blow" (2001), to make ultimately this fourth installment, an event movie achievement to be prepared for, after the sudden success of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl" in Summer 2003 for the production company Jerry Bruckheimer Films and license owner as distributor Walt Disney Pictures, receiving the highest international gross in comparison of all five movies to-date of exceeding 800 Million U.S. Dollars in revenues in foreign markets.The initial screenwriters Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio take it on one more time beyond the outskirts of an imaginable MacGuffins toward "The Fountain of Youth" for the characters to rush for, encountering a legendary character of all accumulated pirates tales worldwide, the character of Captain Blackbeard, here portrayed further with the utmost of a relaxing ease by actor Ian McShane, to make the picture professionally captured by hi-tec cinematographer Darius Wolski, who had to manage upgrades on 3D technologies, that have not found its way to become a standard at the movie houses worldwide due to the tight budgetary restrictions of theater chains, which are unable to install 150 by 60 inch digital 3D imagery glass surfaces to be watch without throw-away 3D glasses, instead upgrading the projectors got to unsatisfactory 4K resolution after a worldwide success of "Avatar" (2009) directed by James Cameron.Walt Disney Pictures granted close to everything in terms of production value for the tentpole picture on a demanding market of 2011, where the U.S. domestic audiences could not get surprised by seductive to lethal mermaids in one of the highlighted sequence of action in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at the exterior Mermaid cove, to be actually bare-breasted and naturally fluent creatures to finish the most emotionally-striking scene in the movie series with Mermaid actress Astrid Bergès-Frisbey seducing the newly one-time intervening character of Philip to enter the realm of an underwater imaginarium under the well-defined soundtrack between Spanish guitar over mystical violins to the trademark of digitized percussions by score composer Hans Zimmer to set this picture apart from a total five to this very day.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
I enjoyed the first two movies. They were great fun. I thought At World's End was middle of the road. But this film, I'm sorry if you liked it, I really hated it. I didn't think it would be THAT boring. I mean Good lord! If there's one thing a movie with a charismatic protagonist, swashbuckling pirates, epic sword fights, fun plundering scenes, and ghoulish villains should not be, it's boring.The mermaids were completely unnecessary, the tone was disjointed, the pacing was bad, the characters were all over the place. This movie is a rough one to sit through for me.
I don't understand why so many people hate this movie because in my opinion it's very good. It's well made, well preformed (especially Jack Sparrow if you compare his performance in his latest movie) and it has an interesting story and just because there aren't so many connections with the previous movies it doesn't mean it has to suck. It's one of the best in the franchise and i absolutely love it and am glad they made this movie. I suggest this movie to everybody and don't listen to the haters just make your own opinion about it.
