Disapointment, "On Stranger Tides"

I was extremely disappointed in the new flick and continuing saga of Cap'n Jack Sparrow. the movie lacked the subtle humor and ofttimes out right belly laughs of the first three. it seems that Disney has spent more time trying to make a buck, steal the courage and recognition of the true "Navy Seals" than trying to make a good movie.
Too many new characters with no developed role or definition. The wooden eyed fellow and his side kick, the unspoken gent with the parrot, the two former royal marines turned pirates all would have added greatly to saving this sad attempt at keeping the "Black Pearl" afloat.
The writers, directors and producers cheapened their product by replacing story and characters with continual fighting and noise. Neither one requires much skill.
But then it is the number one movie this week and I am sure that the sole reason is that the fans of the first three were hoping for another stellar outing.
I GIVE IT A 10 FOR LOUDNESS AND A 9 FOR FIGHTING. ALL OTHER ASPECTS INCLUDING MR. DEPPS' PERFORMANCE A 2/3
I FOR ONE WILL NOT NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN AND THE FIRST TIME WAS TO MUCH MONEY FOR TO LITTLE PERFORMANCE OR SKILL.
