Unfortunately it may also be the worst, but for the oddest reasons. The films have mined this vein of piratey goodness, and despite some mixed reactions to the last two films, here we are with the fourth film in the franchise. There are societies dedicated to the genre, and you can bet that many opening weekend screenings for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will be peppered with people dressed like swashbucklers, endearingly looking at their 3D glasses with mock confusion saying adorable things like “what be these contraptions? Arrr…” It will be cute. Which is odd, because in truth, pirates were a bit on the scumbaggish side, what with the raping and pillaging and all, yet we still love them. There is just something about the Pirates of the Caribbean films that taps into a collective love of all things pirate-like. I know, it’s horrible and I would feel bad about it later.
