So true, another bloated franchise. The first one was okay, but honestly I fell asleep in the theatre. The movies are a tad bit long, for the type of movies they are.

Never saw the third one, after I couldn't finish the second one. Too much stuff happening, when I didn't really give a crap about anyone (or anything) in the movie. Once they started doing a sword fight on a spinning ball for like 30 minutes I gave up. Geoffrey Rush, and Depp to an extent are the only two people even worth watching.

As for the trailer, it just seems to me that they are just throwing a whole bunch of crap at the wall, and hope something sticks. Mermaids? Check, Zombies? Got 'em. Fountatin of Youth? Not sure what that has to do with pirates, but okay, Blackbeard? Well it's the forth movie so we better have Blackbeard (and yes I like McShane too)! Cruz also seems to be horribly miscast in my opinion. However, family friendly movies are all the rage these days, and people will line up to see Depp chew up the scenery.

I doubt it's even much better than a movie like Prince of Persia, but it will make close to a billion dollars when all is said and done.

Btw, is it just me or are there a crap load of blockbusters coming out next year? All sequels of course. Might have to look into it...
