Worse than expected, yet promising

Rating: 4/10 (27 May 2017)

I would say the movie failed to live up to my expectations. The 7-year difference between the fourth and fifth installments made me hope that something great was coming. The sad part about this movie is that they tried to re-create that Elizabeth-Will relationship with Henry and Carina, which was really disappointing. In addition, in this movie, it seems that Henry is the main character rather than Jack, which is really disappointing. Geoffrey Rush, Barbosa, had significantly fewer lines in this movie, which also did not satisfy me at all. There was no real flow of the story, things would just happen. No one saw the Black Pearl being released coming yet it happened out of nowhere. Despite all this negativity, I am still hopeful for future installments. Will and Elizabeth are reunited and we see Davy Jones returning in the after credit scene. If this is the beginning of another adventure, probably the last, I hope that Will, Jack, somehow Barbosa, Elizabeth, and Jones will be a part of it.
