Why people bash On Stranger Tides so much?

I find it A Okay.

True, it is a little different, but then again, the villain Blackbeard is easily the coolest one, that "noble" mermaid girl is gorgeous, Queen Ann's Revenge is one cool and fine vessel and the ending (Blackbeard's death) is brutal.

Especially I love how the ship accelerates from still to full speed just by touching his sword.

I enjoyed it quite a lot. To be frank, I don't really understand why people dig Will Turner so much. He is annoying as f'ck for the first three films. He only gets charisma and coolness as he takes over the Dutchman and goes "dark" with a grey bandana at the end of third installment. I couldn't care less about his character before that.

It's like with the Star Wars prequels - the fan base is against them, but I find them very comparable if not even more enjoyable than the first three installments.

Battle for Anakin's soul and Amidala's death are among best moments on film.

I like the movie fine and it's better than At World's End for me. The problem is all the nuts and bolts were there, it just wasn't put together very well. It made a lot of promises that it didn't follow through with. Blackbeard ended up being pretty tame and lame, and they really could have gone somewhere with the zombie stuff but didn't. I think there's more scenes in the movie that work than don't. The bromance between Jack and Barbossa is terrific. It's okay. If the new film is the homerun we're all hoping for, I think Tides will be seen as something of an okay middle chapter, rather than disappointing final entry.

OST wasn't bad. I've rewatched it as much as the previous installments. I love it a lot. I do agree that it's lot lighter than DMC and AWE, but that isn't a problem for me. I actually love Angelica, though I think she had more potential. The mermaid and Phillip were alright, it's hard not compare them to Will and Elizabeth.

Tbh, I think people just love to hate.

I like how OST made almost much as DMC worldwide, but it's popularly viewed as unsuccessful.

no

i'm as big a fan of the series as anyone and am not a "hater" by any stretch. i'm calling it as i see it. OST was, by far, the weakest of the bunch. it's not close and it's not a great film. the more i see of it the less i like. conversely, the more i see of the first 3 the more i like and notice.

nobody said it was unsuccessful either. they just didn't enjoy it as much.
