Pirates of the Carribbean: On Stranger Tides

It’s like… It’s like… It’s like… Disney tried to make a “Pirates” movie WITHOUT Gore Verbinsky! (sigh.) This is a cautionary tale about how important a director’s vision can be. You can throw all the money, effects, cast and Johnny Depp’s amazing Jack Sparrow character into a stew, and if Gore Verbinsky isn’t the chef, for some reason, it just doesn’t taste right. It’s hard to say WHY, but there’s something missing.
