Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2:17) 2011

Did you ever stop to think, "what am I doing here?" As I took my seat, these thoughts crossed my mind -
what am I doing paying fifteen dollars to watch a live action movie in 3D? Then, what am I doing watching the third sequel of a movie that is based on a DisneyWorld ride? Lastly, what am I doing watching a movie that I really didn't care for in the first place? Well, I did answer my own questions. It's wasn't worth the extra money for the 3D. I still think that 3D is worth the money for animation but the technology isn't there for live action. Johnny Depp is very good as Captain Jack Sparrow and has some good lines and retorts. I'm a big fan of Penelope Cruz and enjoyed seeing her as a pirate. The plot centered around finding the Fountain of Youth. Blackbeard wants to drink from the Fountain and is in search, Cruz plays his daughter as she  assists her father. Jack knows the location and is kidnapped, forcing him to lead the way to the Fountain. There are mermaids, sword fights and a mutiny. Lots of action and adventure happen in this two hour plus movie. In the end, it was just an okay movie. However, as I was watching the children and young teenagers exit the theater, it was obviously it was a big hit.
