On Stranger Tides

On Stranger Tides

Let me start off my saying I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan (or Jack Sparrow fan rather) but even massive love of Jack couldn't save this film.

Putting most of the huge mistakes aside (the massive plot holes, the utter lack of character development and the bizzare pacing) my biggest disappointment in this film is Jack's lack of involvement in the overall plot.

Despite claiming to be "hellishly bent" on finding the fountain actually never acted as if he cared about it or the adventure he was on. He was dragged around by everyone else. He never had any reason to be on this adventure. Without Jack working toward some goal, usually contrary to what the rest of the cast desires, it just isn't pirates of the Caribbean for me.
