Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Movie Review

I saw the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales yesterday, and it was a pretty decent film.
The first thing I have to point out is the comedy. It is really on point and it's so very fantastic! There are boat loads of laughs to be had throughout this film.
Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow, and as always he dose a great job of portraying this pirate. He has a pretty good into scene that you would only expect from Jack.
One of my flaws with the film is the villains kind of seem like filler, they don't capture the magic of the first three films villains, even if you didn't like all of the villains of the first three films, you could admit that they were at least fleshed out.
Another problem I have with this film is Barbossa. He doesn't feel like the same character from the first three films. He honestly feels like a totally different character.
The action scenes are nice, and are enthralled with entertainment. You also have some of the cheesy dialogue, which coming into this one, you kind of expect.
As always with these films the music was done nicely.
The color scheme was mostly brighter colors for this film.
You also get to see more of Will Turner's son, who is one of the main characters in this film. He was alright, but they could have fleshed out his character a little more than they did in this installment in the franchise.
There is also a new female character who is played nicely but there is a twist towards the end of the film about her backstory that feels really forced.
But overall I had a fun time with this movie, I would recommend seeing it. I've heard that this was supposed to be the last Pirates film, but it doesn't feel like it, it feels more like a filler episode of a tv show with an important plot point at the end. Finale note for this, there is a post credits scene.


Final score: 3.7/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
