You know that feeling you get when you're standing in a high place... sudden urge to jump?... I don't have it.

I am not going to hedge my words here. I will come straight out and say it. This is a far more enjoyable film than the first 3. Not technically or storywise better but so much more enjoyable.

I go against the flow in this I am sure but the reason is probably the same either way. I like the changes to Jack. I detest Jack in the earlier films. He has no likeability for me, Bloom is a nobber and Knightly does little to entice me. Its nice to see a film with a more likable Jack, a less likable (but sexier) female lead and no bloody Bloom.

The plot has more holes then emmenthal cheese but at least this time around you dont need a notepad or the memory of an elephant to know what on Earth is going on. Yes the story of the Fountain of Youth is hackneyed and tired but so what!

So probably a worse film that the others but my favourite as at last I found characters I could like. Rather then a bunch of total pratts and the story doesn't disappear up its own arse, unlike the original trilogy.

Well worth a look.
