Hi, Disney's latest, P.o.c- on stranger tides, is not an action entertainer as that of P.o.c - at the world's end. But it certainly has all the ingredients to keep you glued to your seats. It's an out and out johnny depp movie, where he carries it all through with ease and his usual, yet different gestures. The plot of the movie revolves around Spaniards, British and the pirates, who are all set in search for fountain of youth. Even though it sounds same [group of people fighting for a common thing] as the previous ones, the manner in which it is dealt is gripping. As the action sequences are less in this venture, more effort have been put on comedy sequences. This is where Depp has scored immensely. Mentioning about his action sequences, the one which stood out was Depp's escape from king's palace, which was as good as any of the captain's earlier escapes. Apart from johnny, other noticeable performances were from Penelope Cruz, Ian Mcshane & Geoffrey Rush. Especially Ian Mcshane, in the role of Black Beard scores all through, starting from his introduction as the captain, till he is fooled to death by depp in the closing moments of the film. This legendary actor proves again why he is a valuable asset to any film. For Penelope Cruz, as Angelica, you can never take this as her best, but still she has essayed her part to perfection as the daughter of Blackbeard. A new addition to this venture are the appearance of mermaids with killer instincts, which brings some nail biting moments to the movie. From that instant, the screenplay is set in a racy manner. The director Rob Marshall have done a neat presentation by not dragging the movie as in some of the earlier ventures.
Overall this latest one from the P.O.C franchise proves to be worthy of money for all [as it don’t require any pre-requisite seeing of earlier movies of this franchise]. For all Johnny depp fans, it’s a must watch movie. Once again Johnny has proved why he is a true captain of this franchise.
