The most joyless revisionism since Disney's The Lone Ranger.
What fun there is falls to Jackman, who gives the grand old man of pirate characters plenty of fresh and unusual wrinkles and emerges better than the others simply by virtue of playing a two-dimensional, rather than one-dimensional, figure.
Deftly made and diverting for young audiences but unlikely to linger, with any vibrancy tempered by the familiarity of the tune.
