Pirates of the Carribbean 4: On Incredibly Strange Tides with stranger crews

So last night, I went to go see Pirates of the Carribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. I have to fully admit, it was certainly an interesting movie.

Of course, this is Pirates of the Carribbean. Of course it has to be good. It's got pirates killing different pirates killing spaniards and British people (British People are funny)
Oh, and before I you continue reading, I suggest you adhere to the following statement:

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SERIOUS SPOILERS!!!

The film starts off with Jack Spar-... Wait... "Captain" Jack Sparrow in England posing as the judge for a trial where Mr Gibbs has been arrested on the crimes of piracy, etc. Sparrow saves him, they go running away and a hilarious battle scene begins. But, this is Pirates of the Carribbean. Hilarious fight scenes are everywhere.

While I do admit that alot of IDEAS were mostly original. Remember how Davy Jones had cannons on the front of his ship? Well, Captain Blackbeard has flamethrowers. I know, right? FLAMETHROWERS! WOOHOO! A big highlight of the movie is alot of the ideas behind things. I certainly must admit that I was not expecting mermaids to suddenly grow fangs and become carnivourous. That... was quite unexpected. Of course, there's always one silly girl who thinks "I'm different! Please don't hurt me!" And what happens? She gets caught. Sucks to be the cleric chap who gets caught in the crossfire, causing her to have a slightly less level of respect for him. Oh, and of course, they HAVE to fall in love, just like any other movie.

I think the most dissappointing thing about this movie was... Well, actually, there's quite a bit. Remember all those awesome side characters from the original trilogy? The short guy, the guy with a wooden eye and his friend... Ah, good times... Yea, they aren't here. Seriously. It's almost as if the director said: "Hey, let's make a new POTC movie and just keep the main characters. We'll introduce new characters with a very poor backstory which won't be explained very well". But that dratted monkey is still around. Only thing is that he has been minaturized and stuck in a wine bottle... With the rest of the Black Pearl (Whaaaaaat?) Apparently Blackbeard captured it... How he stuffed it in there I will never know.

The final topper is that apparently, Blackbeard likes to raise the dead in his spare time, as evident by the two zombies who seem to manage the crew on board. The final fight scene is extremely unrealistic. They go to all that trouble finding the fountain of youth, travelling through a very NARROW passage, only to have the Spanish come LATER and surround them ON ALL SIDES. How did they get in there? This sense makes not.

I have to say that my final verdict is a 6/10. It's quite simply, not like the original three and it probably would have been better to leave it at the end of the third one because the finale few scenes actually rounded it up VERY well in my opinion.
