On Lamer Tides

So, as expected, the world didn't end. WHAT A SURPRISE. I even stayed up until midnight waiting and saying things like "Ten minutes until the end of the world" and "The end of the world has been brought to you by Vertco™".
So, I went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and I can't see what everyone is flipping out about. This was possibly the best of the Pirates sequels (but Dead Man's Chest was pretty good). The only thing it failed at was its pathetic title. All I hear is that 'OH, THIS MOVIE STINKS', or 'TOO MANY EXPLOSIONS'. Well, I have a message for YOU: You can never have too many explosions. Highlight the following blank space for my whole review.
What made this movie work was its ludicrousness. The action scenes just kept getting more and more improbable, from when Jack hangs behind a banner to avoid the British to when he slingshots himself using a palm tree. Mostly what critics complain about is how convoluted the plotline is, but that makes no sense. That's the same complaint people used for Tron: Legacy and BAD MOVIE, but if you lose the plot because you're just incapable of following it, that's your own fault.
Well, there you have it. At the end of the day, 5 out of 10 stars.
Bye!
