Geoffrey Rush is following up his Oscar-nominated role in The King's Speech by revisiting one of his most beloved characters - Hector Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth film in the franchise.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - Too Long at Sea

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 20 May 2011 00:12:54 PDT

Even though Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has the shortest running time of all the installments in Disney's adventure series, its overstuffed treasure chest of filler makes it feel hours longer than it is. While the plot is solid and makes more sense than those of the earlier Pirates movies, there are too many distractions. Overly long battles, boring action sequences, and unnecessary scenes stretch what could have been a snappy amusement into a bloated, almost two-and-a-half-hour movie.

Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow, this time with a new nemesis: his scorned ex-lover Angelica (Penelope Cruz). Though she's furious that Jack left her years ago after seducing her, she's not the villain of the movie - her boss, the evil Blackbeard (Ian McShane), is. Angelica serves as the first mate on his ship, which she drags Jack onto so he can help direct them to the elusive Fountain of Youth. The mythical place can save Blackbeard from his predicted fate: death at the hands of Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who's on their tail, eager to fulfill Blackbeard's destiny.

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz Debut Their Pirates of the Caribbean to a Crowd of Characters

Katie Henry — Sun, 08 May 2011 09:27:39 PDT

Disneyland rolled out a black carpet for Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp at the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides world premiere last night. New mom Penelope was without her two favorite guys, husband Javier Bardem and baby Leo, but she did stop to hug Mickey Mouse before joining the rest of the cast on stage. Johnny too walked the press line solo before stopping to chat with his close friend, and Jack Sparrow inspiration, Keith Richards. Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush was in high spirits as was up-and-comer Sam Claflin. Sam's fairly fresh to the Hollywood scene, but the British actor just landed the role of Prince Charmot opposite Kristen Stewart in their upcoming take on the classic fairy tale, Snow White and the Huntsman. Many celebrities also turned out to catch the fourth installment of Jerry Bruckheimer's Pirates franchise. Best friends Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale posed together as did mother-daughter duo Teri Hatcher and Emerson Rose. Eva Longoria joined her Desperate Housewives cast mate Teri at the event after throwing Victoria Beckham a baby shower earlier in the day.

More Johnny, Mermaids, and Penelope in the Second Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Trailer

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:06:13 PDT

When we got to to see the first trailer for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film, On Stranger Tides, it felt like there was a little bit of the franchise's magic missing. Now we have trailer number two, and it's a bit more exciting than the first.

As expected, it has more of Johnny Depp's one-liners as Captain Jack Sparrow, along with some sexy sparring with costar Penelope Cruz. More importantly, we also get to see a bit more of the mermaid factor, and why they're such a big part of this sequel. One is needed to help the Captain Jack and his rival Blackbeard (Ian McShane) to get to The Fountain of Youth - the thin but interesting objective of the movie. Watch this new trailer and see if gets you any more excited for the latest Pirates installment when you
