More Pirate madness and action, the filming and special effects shine here.

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2017)

My wife and I watched this at home on glorious BluRay from our public library. They seemingly spared no expense with sets and special effects, the sound and picture are great, and a reason to see the movie even if you don't care about the story.
It is a continuation of the Jack Sparrow chronicles started 12 or 13 year earlier, although in the story the official lapse of time is 20 years. Many characters continue through the series of 5 movies, and even Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom return at the end for short cameos.
Perhaps the most fun cameo is by Paul McCartney of the Beatles. He has one short scene where he is in prison as Uncle Jackie, awaiting execution. Depp and McCartney have been friends in real life for many years and he did the role as a favor to Depp.
There is a story here, but really who cares? Jack Sparrow has to endure several near-death encounters before encountering the Trident of Poseidon, and allowing the un-dead captain and his crew to go to their final resting place.
Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow, Javier Bardem is the un-dead Captain Salazar, and Geoffrey Rush back as Captain Barbossa. Each of them is great in his role.
The fresh faces, who as teenagers grew up enjoying the earlier Pirate movies, are Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner and Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth who holds the key to locating the Trident.
For any viewer who enjoys this type of movie it is a totally entertaining 2 hours. Frankly I enjoyed the 48-minutes of featurette in the BD extras, we see a lot about the making of the movie, probably as much as the movie itself.
