Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales

oh man, the movies are starting to ramp up for this summer season, and your favorite reviewer is here to help you out. Disney definitely a juggernaut nowadays for movie blockbusters. Can this franchise still it hold up to fans' standards, or is it a sinking ship after this installment? Lets find out:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales-  I remember when the first movie hit theaters. The sound track, plus, the sword fights, and other action scenes made me want to be a pirate. Johnny Depp was nominated for his portrayal as Captain Jack Sparrow, and the movie seemed near flawless. The next two sequels hit theaters, with new threats and adventures. These movies wrapped up nicely, but when something goes well there has to be more and more movies.

Plot- Will Turner's son, now the age of 9, swears to his father he will set him free of the curse of the "Flying Dutchmen". Then at the age of 18, he discovers to set his father free he needs the power of the Trident of Poseidon, and the only man that can help him is Captain Jack Sparrow.

The newer characters could have been replaced with common household plants, and you wouldn't have noticed at all. They are all bland with no personalities at all. This is when the movie should be carried by the veteran characters (Johnny Depp and Gregory Rush), but they appeared to be watered down compared to their original versions. This causes a problem during, say the action sequences, hard to get into it when you can give two shits about the main characters.

Final Verdict- 6/10, it was a pretty good film, but not worth the full price of a theater ticket.

Thats all for now. Ill return to review "Wonder Woman", so until then, this is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
