Definitely the most overhated of the series, this is far better than On Stranger Tides. It feels more fast paced, the action is good and the death of Barbossa feels earned and was done well. The whole daughter and son thing of the two leads does feel slightly silly, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy this one. Well worth a watch. Annoying that Will and Elizabeth get so little screen time though, especially Elizabeth who literally gets 0 lines in this.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

There’s honestly no need for me to revisit this film, since it quite honestly gets worse with every viewing. It doesn’t hold up anywhere near the original films, and just felt like they needed to make something, so they threw together a few things that could be interesting and hoped they’d stick. Another film with wasted potential, with Javier Bardem’s Salazar having the potential to be a great villian. I really don’t need them to make another one like they’re trying, I think it’s about time to let this series settle down for a while before doing anything related to it again.

Continuing on with some of the characters built from the original trilogy, Dead Men Tell No Tales feels more in line with the original films, but is far from their quality. As entertaining as this film can be at times, it feels far too fabricated. The CG within the previous films looked absolutely stunning, where it seems to be the biggest flaw of this film. It was clear what was and wasn’t shot on sets, with the visuals following suit from On Stranger Tides, ending up being pretty flat and uninteresting. The new characters were nice to see, since they actually were quite enjoyable. I wish that there was a little more focus on the other characters instead of these new ones, especially when you know that this is likely to be the final film in this franchise. Still, it’s a watchable film that I’d put on as background noise, rather than actively sit and watch. It’s sad to see this series take a serious nosedive after the first three were so well done, but in the end, it still was nice to have a little more time with these characters.
