"Pirates of the Caribbean: Tales of the Code: Wedlocked" is a really long title and the first part is actually already enough to see what this is about. It is a 10-minute live action film from 2011 and the story here takes place before the first PotC film from almost a decade earlier. Jack Sparrow is referenced right away at the start and we see him in one scene too, but as Depp is not part of the cast I am not entirely sure what this was about. Maybe film footage just? I don't know. However, I must say apart from the mean angry pirate it was a pretty forgettable film with characters that weren't really memorable at all. Most known cast member is probably Dale Dickey, even if she does not have a great deal of screen time either. As a whole, this one is only worth checking out for the biggest PotC and pirate film fans. This one here probably gained a lot of attention because it was created by the writers of the PotC films (Elliott and Rossio, Oscar nominees for Shrek too) and the director worked on these films too and also on the script of the Oscar-winning 2Rango", another Depp/Verbinski connection. But like I said, nothing here stands out really and this one proves how badly this franchise is in need of the big name actors as otherwise it's really just about costumes and make-up. I give it a thumbs-down.
