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
