Ugh, this looks like a promising concept turned into a crapfest by casting The Rock and doing too much and trying too hard...
One of the big reasons Pirates of the Caribbean worked so well was the unique and fun performance of Johnny Depp. Dwayne Johnson ain't gonna provide that.
I just saw this trailer about two hours ago.
Looks...average.
While I love the Rock in pretty much everything, and Emily Blunt seemed fun enough, i only saw them.
They need more ppl to bounce things off of.
PIRATES had a nice ensemble feel to it, at least till Depp became the focus.
Same.
Elizabeth of course, and Will Turner till he got overshadowed by Depp.
Murtogg and Mullroy, the none too bright guards, a lot of the recurring pirate crew...
Yeah, everything after 2 pretty much disproves PL.
Pirates 1 worked so well because everyone was cast so well, and given plenty of screen time.
