The English, the Spanish and Captain Blackbeard are on the hunt for a certain Fountain of Youth that provides the transfer of life from one person to another. While the English and the Spanish are occupied in the traditional European colonial rivalry, Blackbeard (menacing at start, not so much towards the end) needs the fountain to thwart the prophecy of his death. Jack and Angelica have had history and Jack still harbours “stirrings” for her. Angelica gets Jack onboard the Blackeard’s ship; Barbosa who has his personal vendetta against Blackbeard is joined by Mr. Gibbs and so begins the chase. The journey is peppered with a futile subplot of a tender relationship of a missionary and a mermaid which can be best described as a unsuccessful attempt to fill in the void of Will and Elizabeth’s characters from the previous movies. </span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaEvJZWHAK8lHFAkmLLG1prjAi-hA6aeoXV8pzWJUvssBetK3PPc9TrCEThj8yUmE-P9S3QanOP4J5J-NGUxzC6yahqxHjyHGC4mZRKzeNTqbaVKwaTo8vWfhY95wzqNmei0IVctKIq1V/s1600/imagesCABWGQU3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="134" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaEvJZWHAK8lHFAkmLLG1prjAi-hA6aeoXV8pzWJUvssBetK3PPc9TrCEThj8yUmE-P9S3QanOP4J5J-NGUxzC6yahqxHjyHGC4mZRKzeNTqbaVKwaTo8vWfhY95wzqNmei0IVctKIq1V/s320/imagesCABWGQU3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><shape alt="imagesCABWGQU3.jpg" id="Picture_x0020_3" o:spid="_x0000_s1026" style="height: 109.25pt; margin-left: 218.9pt; margin-top: 0px; mso-position-horizontal-relative: margin; mso-position-horizontal: right; mso-position-vertical-relative: margin; mso-position-vertical: top; mso-wrap-distance-bottom: 0; mso-wrap-distance-left: 9pt; mso-wrap-distance-right: 9pt; mso-wrap-distance-top: 0; mso-wrap-style: square; position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 258.9pt; z-index: 1;" type="#_x0000_t75"><imagedata o:title="imagesCABWGQU3" src="file:///C:\Users\Praneet\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image006.jpg"></imagedata><wrap anchorx="margin" anchory="margin" type="square"></wrap></shape><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As expected by many, it’s Jack’s odd ball eccentricities and odd-ball acts that keep the screen appealing though I sincerely missed<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>his trademark “You will always remember this as the day” line . <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Ian McShane</span>’s Blackbeard is evil though it doesn’t top Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones. Keith Richards as Captain Teague provides a decent cameo. Penelope, visibly pregnant (though glowing) in many shots, has a likeable on screen chemistry with Depp and is quite the match for him like her character Angelica. The 3D hasn’t much to offer other than the mermaids sequence and little titbits here and there. Stay after the credits to watch what could be a possible sequel link. All in all, a good way to spend a weekend if you have nothing better to do.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />
