Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides gets a strangely metallic poster. Please no robot pirates...
I'll refrain from any 'kingdom of the Crystal Skull' jokes. I merely hope that the metallic sheen is merely an artistic choice and not a hint that the film involves robot pirates. Because no live-action PG-13 picture should have battles with robots. Robots are for kid-friendly films and cartoons that have to split the difference between being action-packed without being overtly violent. I'm willing to give this film a fair shake, as I genuinely liked all three of the previous ones and Rob Marshall seems to be making some interesting decisions. But seriously... no robots allowed.
