I didn't have a miserable time watching On Stranger Tides. (It wasn't as bloated, overbearing and noisy as the third entry, which I found punishingly awful) On the other hand, once it was over, I was struck by how indifferent it all was. Depp was a third (or fourth) wheel most of the time. The way the romantic sub-plot (with the missionary and Syrena) ended up didn't make much sense, but I cared so little it didn't matter.

Spoiler:

Did she take him underwater to his death? He certainly didn't deserve that. Did she take him to some magical safe haven where he could be outfitted with gills and a tail? I couldn't be bothered to care, but it seemed like a weird throwaway. And while I'm at it, why was Angelique so keen on keeping Mr. Holy-pants alive? He played no role in the main denouement, and she didn't seem to miss him at all once he disappeared.

I'll have forgotten the whole thing by this time tomorrow, so little impact did it make.

Was the afore-mentioned trailer in 3D? Will the movie be?
