I don't like to write bad reviews about films because I have so much respect for the craft of creating one, but i found almost nothing redeeming in this film. I felt that I watched a drunk Captain Jack Sparrow wander around Puerto Rico for nearly two hours only this time no accent, cool costume or special effects courtesy of Disney. There is almost zero story line to this film and you can forget any character development. Not to say that every film has to be indie it's making and cause you to have an emotional experience, but this film wasn't even entertaining. We basically watch Johnny Depp go from one drunken escapade to the next. I have much respect for many of the well known actors in this film and why they would chose to star in such a film is a question I'll never have an answer to. After an hour and forty five minutes I couldn't stand anymore and had to excuse myself from the theater. I couldn't possibly try to recommend this film to anyone in a positive light, which is such a shame.
