Ranking Every Billion Dollar Movie - From Worst To Best
26. Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Box Office: $1,045,713,802
After the plot-heavy finale to the original Pirates trilogy, On Stranger Tides came in 2011 with a new cast (aside from Johnny Depp and a few other veteran figures) and a more simple story - of Jack Sparrow on the quest for the Fountain Of Youth and trying to evade Black Beard and pirate hunters. It's basically just a greatest hits of the best plot points of the first trilogy, with some weird mermaids thrown in.
This was pretty much the point where the franchise became all about Johnny Depp's Sparrow shtick. He seemed to have been taken even more off the leash, and while there's some admiration due for the performance, he definitely starts to stray towards being insufferable.
It's better than Salazar's Revenge, but not by a great deal.
