Most expensive movie of all time is very surprising and only has 33% on Rotten Tomatoes

There is a general assumption that the more money you throw at a film, the bigger, the better, and the more successful it's going to be. But that's not always the case.

There are tons of examples that go some way to disprove that belief quite comprehensively.

The fourth instalment in the Pirates series saw Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest of the gang out on another adventure.

"When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past."

One viewer wrote: "From the very opening scene, it's apparent that the magic that once coursed through the veins of the original has all but run dry."

Another scathed: "My least favourite of the pirates movies.

"I like Blackbeard but mistake to make Jack the central character instead of a side character."

"Sparrow is such a beloved character that giving him more screen time might at first seem like a good thing, but that isn't the case," put a third.

"Instead, his shtick gets repetitive rather quickly."

While another added: "Now we get the doddering version. Pirates of the Caribbean for Dummies.

"Everything explained. Long walks through the jungle during which nothing happens."

So yeah, sometimes less is more, it would seem.
