Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) by Bobby L — 21 May 2018
Dead Men Tell No Tales: The fifth installment in this tired franchise is at best a diversion which lacks ideas and seems to be coasting on its brand name. Johnny Depp looks tired and it seems he is ready to hang up the pirate boots for good now.
Even at a mere 130 minutes (which is by far the shortest of all the Pirates films) the film seems slow, which is because perhaps there is nothing else to add? The audiences get it (box office has been tepid at best), maybe the filmmakers should too.
(This ship should be retired, or better yet- sunk).
