    Absolute shitshow. If you watched the trilogy (which was a cinematic masterpiece that had strategy, complexity, piracy, a tint of humor but mixed with a lot of charisma and clash of different characters focusing on the same goal for different reasons) then comes this joke of a film that turns The Legendary Captain Jack Sparrow into an absolute joke. If you loved the trilogy, please do not watch this. They’ve spat on the Jack and made him look like a real fool. No character development of anyone else in the film whatsoever, and especially Barbossa; His scene and contribution to the story was So embarrassing I absolutely hated what they did to him. It was a violation to his reputation and all the 5 films of character development he had, was thrown down a pit. Hate it with everything. Disrespectful to the POC franchise. Please don’t bother making the 6th. This series should’ve ended with “The Worlds End”

    This ends the franchise well. Makes me sad we may never see Jack Sparrow make another journey. If you're a sap like me you'll cry at the end. Always watch past the credits.

    The rum is gone from this one... but it's still a pirates life for me. ADVENTUROUS - RUSHED - FUN - HIGH-POTENTIAL Okay, it's not the best, but there is actually a lot of great things happening here. The story is good; Henry, the son of Will Turner, braves the sea of pirates to brake his father's curse. But Will only has an opening and closing scene - and where was Elizabeth the whole time?!?! They clearly didn't have the budget to bring Bloom and Knightley back for a whole movie. I love the "new generation of pirates" concept here, but we need to see the original characters we know and love more present in a film like this, passing off the story to their kids. We needed to see Henry's parents involved in the story. We HAVE to know why Will is getting cursed by the Dutchman; that's a plot hole. And Elizabeth would have undoubtedly gone after her son to save him from his own father's watery fate. The villain is fantastic; Jack's first, original nemesis returns to haunt him. But it feels, rushed we get the whole backstory in one flashback (which, is fine). Unlike the original trilogy, we don't know how his curse works, what mystical power lies in the Devil's Triangle, and what it actually did to him. (We know all of this about Davy Jones.) We are left with knowing about Salazar, and not caring about him. Contrast this with Davy Jones - we got to know him, AND we got to care about him. Gotta give the villain time and space in the script to "breathe" and become established as a solid character that's part of the story. The sub-villain is lackluster. There was so much more he could have been, in the shadow of Lord Beckett. Wenham is an awesome casting choice here, but the story and script don't give him the opportunities to rise to the occasion. The character doesn't have enough time to actually matter, and feels like more of a distraction than a valuable part of the story. As far as production quality goes... the audience's "willing suspension of disbelief" can only be suspended so high. The sliding building? C'mon. Some of the stunts are ridiculous. And we should never have those thoughts while enjoying a film. There's also something hyper-realistic about the color-grading. Too much contrast. So, most of the shots don't even look real. Jack's makeup is also too much; it draws too much attention and doesn't look real. Pirates 5 has so much potential. It's much less forced than the previous series installation, but it's missing the budget and excellencenin the script and story development to live up to its founding films. Don't get me wrong, worth the watch. There's plenty to appreciate, and plenty for fans to speculate and fill in the holes with our imagination.
