Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) by Zeag — 29 May 2017
As someone who thought the third and fourth movies were insufferable bore-fests, I went into this opus (in a nearly empty IMAX cinema, I might add) fully prepared for deception.
By the end I cam out very pleasantly surprised. Javier Bardem is nowhere near as cringe-inducing as I thought he'd be and there's enough returning cast to not make this feel like some sort of B-Roll direct-to-dvd sequel.
Action sequences are entertaining and well spread along the film, unlike At World's End and Jack Sparrow's wackiness has been toned down to more tolerable levels compared to Stranger Tides.
The most satisfying moment is probably the ending though. Without spoiling anything, by the end of the movie it totally feels like all loose ends in the series have been tied and it could be put to sleep or go on with a new cast of characters.
All in all if you're fans of the series, do yourself a favor and go make your own judgement, you might be pleasantly surprised.
