I never saw the point of this fourth film, and hate that they changed the ending of the 3rd one to allow them to incorporate more in the franchise. It hemmed in Jack's character and didn't actually allow him to grow. It kept him stunted and changed what could have been so incredible to see on screen.

Instead what we got is the same character at the beginning of the first film, as if none of the events meant anything to him. Changing the theme from , 'anyone can be a good man, despite stereotypes' to 'believe all the stereotypes, Jack doesn't change at all'.

Regardless I'm still finding myself growing excited for this film. I loved the sense of adventure and Johnny Depp is an actor I can't help but follow.

I definitely enjoy Depp. He does characters better than anyone in the business right now. Always fun watching him. And Sparrow is no exception.

However, I gotta disagree on the "no point in a fourth" mentality there. I'm happy for a fourth. Never knew they changed the ending of the third to allow for this though. But I've had no problems with any of the films thus far.

And from what I hear, this fourth one hear is going to somewhat focus on Sparrow's past. So we'll get more about him and fleshing out his character. Plus, given the nature of all that, we may very well see more of Richards in this one being as you can't really tell a life/family tell about Sparrow without including his dad.
