The best way to go into 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' is to think of it as the first film in a brand new franchise; a franchise in which mermaids love men, zombies won't eat you and a Fountain of Youth exists, but all laws of logic, reasoning and competent storytelling don't.

IT’S entirely apt that the buccaneers in the latest of the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise are in search of the fabled Fountain of Youth, given that this, the fourth, is being touted as something of a reboot.
