Action sequences per minute. The adrenaline rush goes on a roller coaster together with the characters in the movie. In this installment of the Pirates saga, we see the pirates rescuing Jack Sparrow from his eternal limbo in the land of the dead. They need him as he is the missing link in the pirates' scheme to free Calypso, the sea spirit from her human form. Once freed, she is supposed to help the pirates in their fight against the navy.
Unfortunately, love is a factor in the equation. Calypso's nemesis was her lover who was also instrumental in her previous capture. We also see Elizabeth and Turner's love being tested numerous times. The love hate relationship between Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossq is also one of the sub plots.
The sub-text is too subtle to hit the audience on first viewing. It might come later when we ponder the human frailty when it encounters love. Contrast this aspect of love when it plays an important role when we need that inner strength to face our demons. Love is a many splendoured thing.
