Yesterday I finally watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and I loved it! Full of adventure, piratey stuff, a great script, a treasure hunt, a sweet love story. Loved everything about it. Penelope Cruz was really good (no surprise there), there was a lot of Barbossa, and the sequence with the mermaids was a little masterpiece: creepy, dreamlike, and a great action scene that kept me on the edge of my seat. Plus Jack Sparrow felt a lot more like the Jack I fell in love with in the first movie (I'm one of those who didn't like the sequels at all).

Now I feel the need of some Philip/Syrena fics, because they were just too cute, and I need more. *___*

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with pirate stories. I had books, I had tapes of pirate songs, I had vhs tapes with documentaries about Edward Teach and the like. This movie is all about pirates doing piratey things, just like the first one, so I spent the whole time making weird happy sounds to myself. :D

Plus, there's a beautiful romance sub-plot, very delicate, that I'm sure you're going to love. *___*

Just came back. *runs around and makes swashbuckling moves* Loved the film, laughed a fair bit, too!! And I agree with you about Jack being his old self, like he was in the first film. Plus it was good to have more Barbossa! Woooo! *goes on waving an imaginary sword* :D

I loved so much Barbossa in the first movie, and he's finally back! *________*

And I'm growing obsessed with this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci78uxP8PFo). \o/

It was a lovely song--the mermaids were all great, very...mermaid-y.:)

And agreed on Barbossa--he's the one that could give Captain Jack a run for his money; it's a pleasure to see the two actors in scenes together--and separately, of course!:)

I especially loved the scene where they share rhum from Barbossa's leg, acting all BFFs. :D

Yeah, me too.:D

Also I have a soft spot for Philip and Syrena, they were so sweet, I must be getting old. ^^"

Noo, they were objectively sweet.:) It was a very subtle, lyrical love story, quite well done in such bold, crash-bam-boom setting.
I really enjoyed that movie--and it was an excellent respite from the case!fic. It's great to detach myself so fully from it, then I go back all refreshed. AND in this case, it was for something so worth it!:)

Yay for the case!fic, I can't wait! *____*
