Caught the premier of the fourth installment of the very successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise today after the launch at the Centre Court of Mid Valley Megamall (there’s a big pirate ship in the mall, I kid you not!). Was initially rather disappointed with the exclusion of Kiera Knightly which I so adore but the inclusion of Penelope Cruz and French actress Astrid Bergès-Frisbey definitely made up for it (and more haha!).

The dialogue is quite witty (especially Jack Sparrow’s bit) so listen carefully.

The inclusion of new characters is definitely a breath of fresh air in this movie while a few returning characters gives it a sense of familiarity. Catch this movie in 3D if you can.
