One of the weakest books makes for possibly the best movie in the series. Most consistent pillar to post; strong script, theme & no filler.

#WWMD - Watching With My Daughter
Watching With My Daughter - reviews (hopefully) tempered by the fact that I'm watching the movie with my girl...
#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Someone clearly took producers aside & told them to get a grip. Not as fun as 1st of course, but at least they’ve got the right idea & tone.

#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
Better than 2nd one was the damning faint praise. I disagree. Pompous & overbearing. Not much joy to be found here. How’d they stray so far?

#140RVW: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Smash came out of nowhere. Everyone laughed at the idea of a movie based on a theme park ride & thought it would suck. Depp had other plans.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Now we’re talking. Yates takes over and never looks back. Next 4 have consistent tone & look; both on target. Radcliffe steps up big time…
