Plus, Pelham was not in office until 1743, 25 years after Blackbeard's death. But Blackbeard was killed off the coast of North Carolina in 1718, and George II did not take the throne until 1727, nine years later.
Also depicted in the movie in King George II (played by Richard Griffiths) and his Prime Minister Henry Pelham. In the movie, Ian McShane plays Blackbeard, who was a real pirate - his given name was Edward Teach - and commanded the ship "Queen Anne's Revenge" in Caribbean waters. But it does play around with the dates when those actual people were alive. And it's different from the earlier movies in that it weaves in real historical figures as characters. And music lovers will appreciate the flamenco-guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela's contributions to the soundtrack.Captain Jack Sparrow is unfurling his sails for a fourth time this weekend in " Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." The movie brings back several characters from the original trilogy, but it tells a standalone story about Jack's quest for the Fountain of Youth. McShane, on the other hand, has built an impressive career one villainous character at a time, so he's naturally fierce and frightening as Blackbeard. But as sweet as they are, their forbidden-love subplot isn't nearly as moving as Elizabeth and Will's. With the notable absence of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, whose star-crossed lovers Elizabeth and Will had closure to their story in the last installment, the good-looking-young-couple role is left to Claflin and Berges-Frisbey. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' race for the Fountain of Youth is a simple, easy-to-follow premise there are fewer extraneous characters to keep track of (remember all of those pirates in At World's End?) and Cruz and Depp have an entertaining, charming chemistry with each other that sizzles when they're trading barbs and half-dueling, half-flirting. Director Rob Marshall has stripped away some of the overlong, puzzling plotlines and overdependence on CGI effects that marked Gore Verbinski's first three Pirates films, especially the second and third ones. Depp's rummy rogue is clever and lovable as ever, and that's a big reason audiences are always willing to yo, ho, ho.
