Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the fourth big sea adventure of the series and this time it's in 3D!
Captain Jack Sparrow's latest quest sees him in search of the fountain of youth and a magical drink to give him a longer life. Sounds simple right? But life on the high seas is never that straightforward!
Before he can find the fountain he has to find a ship, lead a mutiny, fight off some fearsome mermaids and come face to face with another Captain Jack!
Jack and his new crew end up in race against the tides to reach the fountain and before his old enemy Captain Barbossa. But who will get there first?
Penelope Cruz plays the part of new pirate Angelica
Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow, but this time he's sailing solo without his old ship mates Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Instead, there's a new lady pirate called Angelica on the scene to cause the captain loads of trouble.
And you won't be able to miss bad tempered pirate Blackbeard who is set to give Jack a rough ride. Keep an eye out for the mischievous mermaids too - they're a lot scarier than they look!
Captain Jack is back on top form in the film. It's impossible not to laugh out loud at the silly situations and his amazing escapes!
We especially loved watching Jack pinging on palm trees to get away from the bad guys.
Any weak bits?
Sometimes the plot was a bit confusing and it was hard to tell who was chasing who!
Hit or miss?
Hit! The film isn't as good as the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but it's hard not to love watching Captain Jack's latest high sea adventure!
This is what you had to say about it...
"This film is awesome!"
Brogan, 9, Sheffield, England

Joy, 12, N. Ireland

Harry, 11, Wales

Cara, 8, Edinburgh, Scotland

Harry, 11, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
"It is hilarious and action-packed with crazy pirates!!"
Jules, 11, Norwich, England
Bill, 10, England
"It's really good!"
Vicky, 10, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
"I love this film! Me and my mate love Johnny Depp and we are going to the premiere of POTC5! Can't wait! I love all the POTC films but this one was the funniest!"
Danielle, 13, Staffordshire, England
"I loved it! I saw it with my dad two weeks after it was first out. I told my teacher all about it and she wants to see it now."
Chloe, 10, Lancashire, England
"AWESOME! I've already watched it three times! I can't wait til the next one is out!"
Joel, 10, Cheltenham, England
"This disappointed me. It wasn't as good as the other films, it's like they ran out of ideas and decided to make this for the sake of a bit of publicity."
Michael, 10, Gloucestershire, England
"Awsome! Better than all the others- if you haven't watched it I recommend you do!"
James, 11, Gloucestershire, England
"I thought it was FANTASTIC!! I went to see it with my friend. Angelica the new pirate in it is so funny, a good actress! In one word: fantastic!"
Lauren, 12, Scotland
"This film is really good! My favourite part is when they save the mermaid from dying."
Theresa, 13, Hertfordshire, England
"The film is amazing and has some great humour in it!"
Georgia, 12, Bristol, England
"I love it! It's the coolest film in the world!"
Drew, 8, England
"I have only seen half of it but the part that I did see blew my mind. It was devastating- we were moved to another screening at the cinema because it was broken. Johnny Depp is always great but it is a shame that Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom aren't in it this year."
Aimee, 12, Buckinghamshire, England
"POTC is one of my favourite movie series and On Stranger Tides is brilliant! I loved it when he was in Buckingham Palace (or at least that's where I think he was), when he was escaping and he randomly pinched a scone and ate it!"
Elle, 9, Falkirk, Scotland
Rosie, 9, Cheshire, England
"I watched this with a group of my friends, Lisa, Amber, Lauren, Hannah, Amy and Stacy and we all loved it! We are big fans of Pirates of the Caribbean but thought it was a shame that Elizabeth and Will had left. Jack Sparrow was great as always."
Livia, 11, Bristol, England
"On Stranger Tides has a different story to the other three so people should stop comparing it to those! It is the best out of the four. I saw the film a week after it came out and it was brilliant! I see no point in the 12a rating as there is only one minor swear word in the whole film. "
Verity, 12, Buckinghamshire, England
"Good film, better than 2 and 3. Can't decide if it is better than 1!"
Ben, 11, Norfolk, England
"It is the most adventurous Pirates of the Caribbean out of all of them."
Lauren, 11, South Shields, England
"It was amazing! My favourite part was when the Spanish came and messed everything up. I also liked the part with the mermaids!"
Katie, 10, Norfolk, England
"I love this film and I would recommend it to anyone who loves action films and Johnny Depp. He is so funny in this particular film!"
Charlie, 9, Surrey, England
"Johnny Depp is a very good actor. I want to be like him because he has very cool stuff like swords, and I like the bit where he fights. I want his hair because it has beads in it!"
Harry, 5, Devon, England
"It was a really good film and I loved it, but I thought the second one was better."
Adam, 12, Kent, England
Joseph, 10, Cheltenham, England
"I find the story very creative and a really good and funny movie for adults and children!"
Cece, 10, Switzerland
"I thought that the film was great but it was to scary for my brother. I hope you will carry on making other great movies like that!"
Camille, 8, Manchester, England
"A bit rubbish to be honest. X-Men First Class is so much better!"
Joe, 13, Shrewsbury, England
"The film is excellent but it's not really funny as the first one."
Albert, 9, Essex, England
"The story line is very good and you get hooked into it easily. Brilliant film!"

"I love this film and Johnny Depp!"

"I love this movie, it is way better than the other three. Johnny Depp is amazing, can't wait for number five!"
Faizah, 12, Bradford, England
"It was the worst film in the world, it would be better to go see Cars 2."
Jordon, 10 Bradford, England
"I went to watch it with my friends, it was alright, but it definitely wasn't as good as the first three"
Qaz, 12, Lancashire, England
"I thought it was brilliant , also very funny and made me jump twice! I am going to get it on DVD."
Connie, 7, Norwich, England
"It is amazing but not scary."
Oscar, 12, Northamptonshire, England
"Very cool, interesting, scary, full of adventure and funny situations. It is like a race between the two captains, Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa. I like all his films, funny and unforgettable!"
Sovanneth, 12, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
"I think that Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides is really really good."
Leo, 7, Kirklees, England
"Great film, but I like the first one better. Come on Johnny mate!"
Megan, 10, Lanarkshire, Scotland
"I have to admit, it's not as good as the last three films, but it is still incredibly creative, funny and Johnny Depp is amazing!"
Hannah, 11, Wirral, England
"It was very good, but I think they should have made Black Beard more scary!"
Olivia, 12, Manchester, England
"Very fun and I really recommend it."
Ali, 12, London, England

"This movie is fantastic! I think Johnny Depp suits Jack Sparrow perfectly! Every character was great in the movie but I LOVED Johnny Depp!!"
Natalie, 13, England
"It was awesome! It kept me laughing and hanging of the edge of my seat!"
Jade, 9, Leicestershire, England
"I think Pirates of the Caribbean is a great film I have really enjoyed watching them over and over again. I think Johnny Depp is a really good actor and is always funny, my favourite would have to be the fourth film, because they put a lot of imagination into it. I think it will make money and I hope there's a new one."
Amelia, 10, Kent, England
"It's amazing! Johnny Depp is the only person that can make a character look silly, funny, and clever at the same time!"
Heath, 11, Perth, Australia

Will, 11, Brussels, England
"I watched this movie the Wednesday it first came out and I thought the movie was good, however I don't think that it was the best out of them all. Personally, the first one will always be the best to me. However, in all of the Pirate movies, Jack Sparrow, (Johnny Depp) had amazing acting! He's been one of my favourite actors since he started acting in the Pirate films. Overall, I love Pirates Of The Caribbean and they've done a really good job on all the movies!"
