Jack, unchanged from usual, embarks on an adventure with his friends. This movie is funnier and more entertaining than the earlier ones. I watched it, hoping for a light-hearted adventure, not something profound, and it gave me exactly that. That’s what makes it so enjoyable.

The title refers to book thieves. As Nazi Germany headed toward war, it banned the free reading of books and forced citizens to burn large quantities of books in public squares. Liesel carefully hides and brings home one of the books that survived the fire. I am moved by her desperate efforts to protect it, despite her weakness.

Jack Sparrow is drawn into an adventure to find the legendary "Fountain of Youth" alongside his former lover Angelica and her father, the notorious pirate Blackbeard. Though a sequel to the previous film, it offers a fresh, Indiana Jones-style twist.

It is not complicated or educational; it is entertaining and moves along at a brisk and light pace. Most of the work is done on a boat, so it was exhilarating to watch and feel like I was sailing along at a good pace.
