This "Pirates" has a bit more energy and excitement than the last one, which was dead on arrival, but the franchise is clearly running out of steam. Interestingly, the best parts of the movie are on dry land, where some engaging action sequences in London keep things moving. Once the pirates set sail for the Fountain of Youth, though, it goes limp, and lacks the weirdness that made the first ones so interesting.
