Okay, let's talk about the new Pirates movie! Dead men tell no tales. It is the 5th movie in the Pirates franchise. And to my grief is another good movie butchered by the critics upon arrival! Critics are the reason I did not go to the Cinema to enjoy this movie! Now that I have seen the movie, its time for a review!
The last Pirates movie was straight up bad. It lacked Mr And Mrs Turner. The 5th instalment brings them back. And they have a son now.
The story revolves around Henry Turner trying to find the Trident of Poseidon to cure his father's curse. Barbosa's daughter who is unknown to the fact that Barbosa is her father is also in pursuit of the Poseidon stone. Henry requires Jack's services and hence they all meet to go on this grand adventure!
The story is simple and has heart, unlike the last movie. The characters have reasons for their adventure this time. There is chemistry among the characters and the third act is epic!
What I believe let the movie down was the bland direction. It just looks like every other adventure movie and lacks the Pirates flavour. CGI was another letdown, the original which came out in 2003 looks better. Also, there was a lacking of pace, urgency throughout the movie. I mean they are running from Salazar who is the Capitan of a ship eating ship. Speaking of Salazar, Havier Bardem nails the villain. He is both terrifying and funny. Johnny Depp also brought his A game back to the franchise.
The movie tried hard to be funny and sometimes it worked. But the rest of the times it felt tacked on. The scene where Jack was about to be executed, How Salazar says Jack Sparrow and how Carina is called a witch just because she knows things were the peak funny moments in the movie.
All in all the movie was really entertaining and is well worth more than a single stream!
