Actors: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane
Rating: 7 out of 10, this franchise is clearly running out of steam as they try to cram too much into this latest installment and Depp, in a rare miss, clearly mails in his performance. Rush is also sleepwalking through his role which is, again, a true rarity. Since I like almost everything these two actors usually do this was kind of a disappointment. Cruz shines in her role and lends nuance while everyone else seems to just be going through the motions. The special effects are dazzling, the best in the series yet, but that may be where this movie falls short – over reliance on the effects versus the actors.
MVP: Cruz as Angelica Teach, is sexy, dangerous, and the only one of the major actors who seems to care, of course I have a weakness for Latinas.
