Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

"You are Jack Sparrow"
"There should be a Captain in there somewhere."



Let the hyperventilating begin!

I'm loving the newly revealed teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. On Stranger Tides is the fourth entry into the Pirates franchise, and said to be the beginning of a new trilogy. I don't care. Give me as many Pirates movies as possible. I will see each one at least five times. Loosely based on a book by the same name, On Stranger Tides hits theaters on May 20, 2011.

This trailer paints the movie as less of a Dead Man's Chest or At World's End, and more like a Curse of the Black Pearl. It seems more fun and simple like the first one, with less at stake like in the sequels. Critics of the Dead Man's Chest and World's End whine about how the story became too ridiculous and complicated, and that they didn't fit in with Black Pearl. They can rot on the bottom of Davy Jone's locker for all I care. I love the sequels just as much as the original. The newest Pirates movie seems like a return to true form, and I couldn't be more excited.

I don't know what more I could ask for in a movie: Pirates, zombies, mermaids, more pirates, etc. I can't handle it, to be honest. Two notable scenes in the trailer that make me laugh every time are when Angelica (Cruz) shouts at Jack in Spanish (0:54) and when Jack screams (1:26). This trailer couldn't be any more perfect, hitting all the right notes in the process. Only thing I wish it featured more is Barbossa. He's a boss.
