Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) by Matthew A — 30 May 2017
Pirates 5 has a great cast, is visually stunning and is a fun time at the theater. I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX. There are definitely moments that are kind of dumb, but I was having enough fun that I was totally willing to overlook them.
Depp's Jack Sparrow is still funny and pirate. The 'young couple' are well-cast and fit themselves well into the stellar cast. Javier Bardem is an excellent villain and Geoffrey Rush returns in his trademark excellence.
David Wenham chameleons into a naval officer. There were places it could have improved, but overall, I felt I got my money's worth and that doesn't happen often. Definitely the best of the sequels to the original 'Pirates'.
