Well, well, well... To my mind, this part is less exciting than the original trilogy but it's better to remember that "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is a sequel not the continuation.
Okay, so what may I say? Personally I can't not admit that Jack isn't the same - the feeling like he's become calmer, less adventurous. Or probably I'm just paranoiac. Penélope Cruz as Angelica turns out incredible but not that much to hide the absence of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

The Fountain of Youth is a spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted across the world for thousands of years, appearing in writings by Herodotus (5th century BCE), the Alexander romance (3rd century CE), and the stories of Prester John (early Crusades, 11th/12th centuries CE). Stories of similar waters were also evidently prominent among the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration (early 16th century), who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini.
The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it became attached to the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, first Governor of Puerto Rico. According to an apocryphal combination of New World and Eurasian elements, Ponce de León was searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to what is now Florida in 1513.

* * *

Jack Sparrow: Good. I can go like this.
* * *
Blackbeard: If I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am.
* * *
Jack Sparrow: Better to not know which moment may be your last. Every morsel of your entire being alive to the infinite mystery of it all.
* * *
Jack Sparrow: The crime in which you have been found guilty of, is being innocent of being Jack Sparrow.
* * *
Angelica: [half asleep] Jack, if this is a dream you can keep the sword and boots on... If it's not...Jack Sparrow: It's a dream.
* * *
Jack Sparrow: [to king George II] Face is familiar. Have I... threatened you before?
* * *
Angelica: How is it we can never meet without you pointing something at me?
* * *
