Far from a treasure but it's not quite dead.

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2019)

From the very first sequel, the pirates franchise lost its freshness and became formulaic crowd pleaser.
It's all there: rich set pieces, actioneer humour, fun character exchanges, some CGI creepiness and generally badassdom but it doesn't take the story or characters anywhere it needed (or even wanted) to go.
It's just another blockbuster, which isn't a bad thing at all if you want that but the thing I remember most from going to see this as a kid was some pretty numb buttocks.
