Film: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Directed by Rob Marshall

Went to see this film at the cinema, it had not had great reviews and maybe was looking like a installment too far for the franchise.

But it was ok, Depp plays the pirate role well and is quite funny - almost switching between in period and comedy that only a modern day person would know. The effects are good, even without the obligatory 3D that every film seems to come in now.

Geoffery Rush shows he is versatile as one of the competing captains for the fountain of youth. Ian McShane is good as Blackbeard.

The plot marches along, some effort at the end for a plot twist that you could really see coming, no real surprises but an ok film.
