My review of Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales
Intro: Is it me or is Jack Sparrow starting to ware out his welcome?
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales: This movie
takes place almost twenty years after the third movie and we see Captain Jack Sparrow
down on his luck. Things are about to get worse for him because he learns that Captain
Salazar wants revenge for what Jack did to him. Meanwhile, a young man name
Henry Tuner recruits Jack so that he can help him find the Trident of Poseidon,
with it he can free his father from the curse. So, Jack and Henry have to find
the Trident before Captain Salazar does.
This movie is disappointing seriously did the creators learn anything from the last movie? What bothers me about this movie is that it doesn't do anything new, this movie borrows elements from the other films. Family could have been the theme of this movie if the writers found a way to work that into the story. Also, this movie is not as funny as the other four because the jokes fall flat on its face. How can you have a pirates movie without a sword fight? I'm sorry we do have them but the director doesn't seem to focus on them and their brief. This movie creates inconsistencies with the other films, you'll see what I mean when you watch this movie. The climax was also disappointing due to the lack of action.
Jack Sparrow is not in this movie I don't know who this impostor is that looks and dress like him but he isn't Jack Sparrow. Does this franchise have clones now? The reason why I said this Jack Sparrow is an impostor is because this guy is incompetent and mean-spirited at times. The movie is aware of this on some level. Also, he's not as funny as he use to be he just states the obvious. I like the idea of Jack being off his game, but the writers don't do anything with that. Even if he was the same character as he use to be that would be a problem too because the creators don't do anything new with this character, he's just here to eat up screen time.
Henry Tuner is kindhearted, brave and noble. I wish the movie would show us the relationship he have with his father because that will help us be invested in his cause to free him from the curse. The movie starts with these two sharing a scene together, the director could have use that to establish their relationship.
Carina Smyth is a smart girl who studies astronomy. She's looking for the trident as a way to connect to her father. I would like to know why people call her a witch? Also, her romance with Henry wasn't good because it had no build-up to it. I wonder if she was suppose to be the main baddie. For those of you who don't know we were suppose to get a female villain. That would be interesting to see Jack Sparrow try to outwit someone smarter than him.
Captain Barbossa is the ruler of the seven seas now that he has an army of pirates on his side. The only complaint I have with him is that the movie tries to humanize him Why!?!
Captain Salazar is the weakest villain in this series. I'm not just saying that because he's a flat character or I can barely understand him it's because he isn't a bad guy. He's a pirate hunter hunting pirates is a good thing. I would like to know how his curse works? Also, he's distracting us from focusing on Henry and Carina because he has no beef with them.
The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the story is easy to follow. Overall, this is another failed attempt to give Jack his own story, I wouldn't recommend this to fans.
Rating = Rental
