Review
Shiver me, timbers! It's time for DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES to set sail as Disney is trying to keep a waning franchise of Pirates of the Caribbean afloat. Some moviegoers have lost interest in the series because of the extremely divisive On Stranger Tides. The studio and its former partner, Jerry Bruckheimer, decided that a change of direction would be best for the next film, so they brought in two Norwegian directors.
Unfortunately much of it fell victim to a string of production difficulties as its actor, Johnny Depp, got injured on-set and faced career-threatening issues. Yet, this feature attempts to convince us that there's still hope left in the series as Depp struggles to regain much of his A-list status from the allegations. The two new lead characters in the film weren't as believable as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann from the original films. This film wasn't quite as promising as its narrative, as most of us believed it would replicate the approval from The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Now that Depp is a shadow of his former self, the role inspired by the exploits of the great matinee idol Errol Flynn is losing its edge. Javier Bardem was splendid as the undead pirate hunter Salazar, who was purely motivated by revenge on Captain Jack Sparrow. He is the film's only other redeeming feature. Fortunately, he had not signed on to a different picture than being in the ensemble cast. We can also thank Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley for their special guest appearances as Will and Elizabeth after they were both absent in the previous movie.
DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES was not the long-awaited film to rescue the series from its declining quality. It has some moments, but not nearly enough to offset the lack of balance in the sequels. So viewers are warned. Watch at your own risk!
