Pirates of the Caribbean:- On Stranger Tides:- dull 3d, boring action, extra long (141 Mins), I recommend not to watch 3D English and go for 2D Hindi, at least it sounds more funny

Dear Friends,
Seriously , is there anyone out there that was chomping at the bit for another PIRATES after AT WORLD'S END came out four years ago? Granted, the first installment of the series was a fun frolic on the high seas, boosted by a tremendously charismatic star turn from Johnny Depp, which in turn made him a full-on superstar, and got him a well-deserved Oscar nomination. But the sequels?
Still, I hoped that the fourth installment might be a rebound for the once entertaining series, more in line with the first film than parts 2 and 3. Alas, that was not to be, as everything that was wrong with those films is here too, only more-so. Messy, unfocused storyline? Check. Boring action scenes? Check. Over-length? Check. Jack Sparrow being sidelined in his own movie? Check.
To be fair, the first twenty minutes of ON STRANGER TIDES aren't bad at all, culminating in an energetic chase through London, which is really the film's only halfway decent action scene. From there it's all down hill, with us spending most of the next two hours watching our heroes trek through the jungle at nighttime, with the the occasional cut to Barbarossa baring down on the crew on-board a ship of his own. It's all very boring.
I don’t want to go into the story line or the plot. Only have to say that I watched this movie twice, 1st time 3d English and 2nd 2d Hindi, not because I liked the movie, but for knowing watching which ver. Makes more sense for the you guys. I would recommend watching the movie in 2D Hindi, as the 3d is not at all good, and in hindi at least the movie sounds more funny due to the typical dubbing.
So not going to write a single word now, plz go and watch , and yes if possible don’t buy costly tickets or just rent a DVD and watch at home.
Regards,
Uv
