Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Talesis an adequate series sequel, but fails to leave any lasting impression on the audience.

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Talesis the 5th instalment of Disney ’s lucrativePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise that start in 2003 . The first film , Curse of the Black Pearl , was a pleasant surprisal , but the sequels have largely fail to capture the same magic . This one has had quite the route to the enceinte screen , seeing legion release date change due to various production outcome , but the Bob Hope going into this entry was that it could repay thePiratesproperty back to its former glory and perhaps be a new beginning for the series . Unfortunately , that is n’t really the sheath . plagiarizer of the Caribbean : idle Men separate No Talesis an adequate series sequel , but fails to get out any lasting impression on the consultation .
Like many of its predecessors , Dead Men say No Talesis hampered by an uninspired script ( write by Jeff Nathanson ) that never really craft an engaging narrative . Things are n’t quite as convoluted as they have been in previousPiratesfilms and are easy to follow , but the real problem lie with the character . None of the main player in the film are particularly interesting , even if some of them have the near intentions . Henry and Carina are serviceable enough as the leads , there just is n’t much on the page for Thwaites and Scodelario to elevate . to boot , the narrative is ill structure as it meanders through a wearying first enactment before pick up . This leads to some spartan tempo woefulness , making the final product find much longer than it actually is . Ironically , Dead Men Tell No Taleshas the short running time out of the five movies in the franchise , but drags on for stint and leaves spectator bored .
In terms of performances , Depp is very comfortable as Jack Sparrow - which is both a pro and a con . It ’s undeniably fun to see the role player back in his iconic role , but here it feels like Depp has completed his turn into everlasting imitation . Several of Sparrow ’s more comedic trait ( like his penchant for being intoxicated ) are played up , leaving the clever wit and ocean savviness he ’s demonstrated before behind . The character has always been over - the - top , but most of the heart and inherent humanity that made Jack endearing is drop dead . As state above , Thwaites and Scodelario are okay as the latest " regular " folk to get swept on a swaggering escapade with Captain Jack , but they lack the magnetized sieve presence require to really carry a photographic film of this nature . That ’s not to say the two are necessarily bad in the picture show , it ’s just they ’re somewhat forgettable and do n’t really work as this installment ’s version of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann . Dead Men secern No Talesalso tries to force a romance between the two that never pays off in a meaningful direction .
The supporting players fare somewhat better , particularly Bardem as Salazar . The Oscar - succeeder is no alien to antagonistic characters , and he ’s appropriately creepy-crawly and menacing playing an undead pirate . There ’s not nearly as much depth for Bardem to search as there was with something like Silva inSkyfall , but the thespian rises above the hand ( and the exposition lumbering scenes he ’s load up with ) to make a middling fascinating baddie that certain viewers could finger sympathy for . enfranchisement old hand Geoffrey Rush is back as Captain Hector Barbosa , shedding some new light and layers on the old case . Not all of the directions the filmmakers take Barbosa finger earned or rewarding , but his subplot is interesting enough . Rush gives it his all here , overact it up as the pirate one more clock time .
Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg ( Kon - Tiki ) step into the film director ' professorship for this installment , and it ’s safe to say they do a nice line of work helming a studio tentpole . all in Men say No Talesfeatures plenty of the action spectacle that the series is known for , but there are times when the dictated patch stretch the limits of credulity and amount across as overly fantastical ( in contrast from the more anchor ship battles of the earlier entree ) . Some of the set pieces , peculiarly in the first half , go on for far too long to the point where even the most devoted buff might lose involvement in what ’s happening . This is tied back to the flaw of the script ; the screenplay look more on CGI wizardry to keep audiences engaged instead of sport character interaction and moments . It all feels hollow and empty instead of rousing and exciting .
In the remnant , Pirates of the Caribbean : utter Men assure No Talesis plausibly what citizenry thought it would be when it was first announce ( especially after all the delay ) . It unhappily is par for the line now in this particular enfranchisement , ply more of the same and never surprising viewers with something unexpected . If this is the best Disney can occur up with 14 years after they first launchedPiratesin theaters , it ’s worth wondering if they ’d be good off letting Jack Sparrow rest in Davy Jones ' locker and exit the book on this particular cash cow of theirs . Longtime viewers of the series have it away if they ’ll be concerned in this 5th instalment , but those on the fencing can jump make the trip to the theater .
