Captain Jack Sparrow for President, Please!

If you ever asked me who my favorite male actor was, I always had a hard time narrowing it down to just one person...until recent years. If you ask me now, my answer would be of course Johnny Depp. He is absolutely superb as Captain Jack Sparrow, always has been! And seeing the 4th installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies has solidified it for me.

When I first heard that they were making the movie without Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, I have to admit I was a little disappointed at first. I wondered if the movie would even be good without them. But then I realized that you could only make so many movies with the same cast for only so long, because then they just become ridiculous. But when you watch the first three movies, the one character who never fails is none other than Jack Sparrow. He is sensible, yet witty, and in his own unique way...charming. Only he could pull off the things he does with such flair. And there are many more of his adventures I wouldn't mind being taken on! :)

The introduction of other new characters, such as Blackbeard, Angelica and the mermaids also made this movie fantastic. But the return of Capatin Barbossa sealed the deal. Who doesn't love Geoffrey Rush? However, I have a new perspective on mermaids. (I guess that's no different than vampires or werewolves.)

Okay. I'm not going to spoil the movie if you haven't seen it. But I will just say, that if you liked the first 3 movies of this franchise, you'll probably like this one. I don't care what the critics say about the plot or the acting. It is a great family film that is very entertaining. If my kids like it, that's good enough for me. We are hoping for another one. I mean, who doesn't want to see more of Captain Jack Sparrow? It's one of those movies that have sequels that will keep generating money for the film industry. That's for sure.

These are just my opinions, which don't always amount to much. But if I had anything to say about it, I think this country could use a little Captain Jack Sparrow at the helm.
