Should have been aborted before release

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2016)

What an absolute disgrace of a film. I almost always watch movies until the end, even when they are bad, but this one was so bad for so long I finally had to turn it off because I was sweating with rage. What a horrible story filled with crappy recycled material from the first two movies, boring 'action' scenes and cardboard cutout characters delivering equally cardboard-like dialogue. Why does this always happen with the great franchises once Disney really gets it's talons into it and sees all those dollar signs hovering in the distance? But why do they do it? That's what I don't understand...they know they're going to make money hand over fist anyway, they know they'll sell tons of merchandise, they'll have themed rides and sets and characters running around Disneyland so why do they have to make such an utterly crappy film? Why not just sit down and produce something really good instead of going for the lamest of possible money grabs? This is the movie that killed it for me, I'll never watch another Pirates movie again, no matter how many they make. For shame Disney, you suck!
