MovieStinger: "With half of the first trilogy’s main characters gone and a new director at the helm, armed with half the budget of its predecessor, On Stranger Tides is sorely lacking the epic grandeur that made previous Pirates of the Caribbean films large-scale events. However, the latest voyage is the first to offer 3D, which is better than decent but unfortunately sparse due to the predominance of nighttime scenes."
Crappy reviews.
It may be getting crappy reviews but it's still getting an A+ in my book.
