Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The features and surprises presented in the first trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides may still make fans all over the world remember. From the plot setting, pirate culture, the characters' shapes and props, Disney has achieved unexpected success and practical benefits.

However, what followed was the rising production cost of the film, from 140 million US dollars in the first episode to 300 million in the third episode. Even such entertainment predators were somewhat unbearable. Although the global box office revenue of the third episode reached 1 billion, Disney actually did not make much money, so cutting costs became the primary means for the film series to continue.

Even so, the total production cost of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 4: Strange Waves has almost reached about 200 million, but the impact of the subsequent cost reduction is also highlighted: in terms of character setting, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley's departure from the team has caused a loss to such a group image.

Furthermore, the entanglement, interaction, frolicking and story clues between characters are greatly reduced.

Although there are beautiful girls like Penelope Cruz joining us, I believe you will still miss the former heroine after watching the film. In the story setting, "Pirates of the Caribbean: on stranger tides 4" is the first time in the series to be adapted from existing texts. The first three films are all from Disney's original scripts, while the story outline of this episode comes from "On Stranger Tides" written by Tim Powers. However, it seems that the grafting of the original story with the story system of "Jia" itself does have some problems, which of course also comes from the limitation of cost.

You should know that the shooting cycle of the whole movie is only three months, which is 40 days less than that of the third movie, and the number of special effects shots has been reduced from 2000 in the previous episode to 1400. If you are going to expect to see all kinds of visual wonders in the third movie, you can lower your expectations infinitely.

In the whole narrative pattern, the film becomes extremely petty, and the replacement of space only escapes in the opening London, the endless ocean surface and the final destination, the island of the fountain of youth. Director Rob Marshall is known in the industry for being good at scene scheduling and using scenery, but he can't find the meaning of north in this film. There are too many familiar scenes and too boring plot creativity, so the directing experience of song and dance films is obviously not enough to fully cope with the magical action films like Caribbean, which are supposed to be full of fun and go to heaven, and the excitement is basically gone.

With the lack of core characters, this film has almost become Captain Jack's one-man show. However, under the situation that the image level of the characters has dropped significantly, Depp's madness has not been as amazing as his previous work. In many cases, the carefully prepared baggage is completely deficient in laughter, and the interaction between the characters also appears abrupt and abrupt.

The lack of confidence shown in Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides 4 may be a minor flaw in the new trilogy, but for most fans, this series is a game played by Captain Jack to a great extent. As long as all his femininity and madness are reflected, half of the fun of watching movies has been pulled back. As for those magnificent and changeable scenery, dispensable roles, and never change.
