They explain everything twice - do they think you are stupid?

Rating: 1/10 (14 June 2017)

I felt utterly insulted by watching this film. Do the creators think that the viewer is stupid? They explained everything for you, step-by-step. Even when the visuals tell you everything you know, they have to explain the situation again in the dialogue. Exposition is very odd and forced.
The performance of our stars is very bad as if they just do it for the money. No passion like the first couple films. I used to look up to Jack Sparrows luck and innovative problem solving, but in this film he is just a loser. Nothing changes character-wise, only that his crew is back at the end of the film. But I will suspect that Jack will just end up like he was in the beginning of this film.
Visual effects were stunning, but it does not give you the pirate feeling. The first films feels as if they were inspired by this exciting world of pirates, but now the immersive environments are just sets and it does not make you feel connected to that world. ADR is over the top and some of the sound design feels out of place.
I watched it with my fellow film students, and we all cringed throughout the movie. In my eyes, it is the worst film I have seen in a very long time.
