The original trilogy, while not critically adored, still rounded out the story that began in The Curse of the Black Pearl in an organic progression of the narrative. One more reason for On Stranger Tides' status as the most-hated Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is how unnecessary it was. However, this blatant imitation of the franchise's earlier success felt cheap and rushed, and it did more harm than good for On Stranger Tides. Swift, in particular, was an obvious stand-in for Bloom's character, and a shoehorned love story with a mermaid was a transparent attempt to recapture the romantic element of the preceding trilogy. These changes saw stars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley opt not to return, which in turn caused the casting of new characters: Penelope Cruz as Angelica, Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and Sam Claflin as Philip Swift. The fourth film in the franchise might have attempted to recapture the magic of the original, but it was a noticeable step down in quality in more than one way, and fans and critics alike were less than impressed with the resulting film.Īfter the box office success of the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, the plans for On Stranger Tides changed numerous times.
On Stranger Tides was the film that saw the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise continue past its original trilogy, and it also was the first film to move away from the franchise's original cast. The exact reason why is a combination of a number of factors. Related: Pirates Of The Caribbean: How Old Captain Jack Sparrow Is In Each Movie
On Stranger Tides has the lowest audience score of all five Pirates films on Rotten Tomatoes, and the second-lowest critical score, making it the franchise's overall most-hated film. Critical opinion of the films steadily declined as the franchise went on, as did that of fans, causing many to wonder exactly what went wrong with the Pirates sequels. Despite Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 meeting with mixed reviews, fans of the first film generally enjoyed the continuation of the franchise's story, which saw Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) complete their romantic narrative arc.
