So I went to see Pirates 4 last Friday--the day it was released. I've heard reviews that say it's the best one yet. I do agree that it's an awful lot of fun. Samuel and I enjoyed the movie very much. But I don't think it's "the best" of the Pirates movies. The first one was and still is "the best" of the films so far. Nothing can beat that very first time I saw Captain Jack Sparrow standing on the mast of that tiny skiff--as if he owned the world! Seriously, it was a very good thing I saw that movie for the first time in the privacy of my own home so I could take care of "business"---yes, it was "wet-my-pants" funny!!!!
This new movie was funny and quite enjoyable to watch. Definitely worth of Johnny Depp and the Pirates franchise and well worth our time to go see it in the theater. It is the first and only one of the Pirates movies that I have actually seen in the theater. I'm not quite sure why I never saw the first 3 in the theater, but I made sure that I went to see THIS one on the big screen! I even got Samuel out of school early to go see it!!!
It turned out to be a great treat for him especially---Samuel had learned just that morning that he'd passed his EOGs and wouldn't need to retest--not even for Math! We were REALLY excited! So our trip to the movies last Friday turned out to be a celebration! We'd have gone no matter what his final scores had been for the EOGs, but it was pretty awesome to go out and be able to celebrate and enjoy the afternoon like that!!!! So we'll always remember this movie for that special reason!!!
Johnny Depp, of course, is amazing. He could have been on screen more and it would have been ok with me! LOL! I love Penelope Cruz and she is really a lot of fun, too. I love that they've made a love interest for Jack, but that they're not fawning all over each other. That wouldn't be Captain Jack Sparrow!!!!
You do need to stay through the credits. There IS a scene after the credits. It's barely 30 seconds long, but I think it's staying through the credits for. After the 3rd movie had a scene after the credits, I thought everyone knew to stay until the credits were over, but the majority of the folks in the theater left as soon as the movie was over, before the credits even started rolling. Out of a packed theater, I think there were barely 10 of us left after the credits.
It's definitely worth seeing!!! Bring on MORE Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz!
