Worst Pirates of the Caribbean

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2017)

I really loved the old trilogy and I also liked 3 despite it's flaws. The old trilogy had good costumes, good landscape shots, nice fights, well written dialogues and well written side characters. Part 5 has nothing of it. 1. Characters I didn't like Elizabeth and Will, but they fit perfectly in the universe and the actors did a great job. Jack was a brilliant and funny character and quite clever. Additionally we had a great cast of side characters who completed the universe. In Part 5 has forgettable main characters and side characters who had nothing do to in the movie. I had no sympathy for the main cast and the love story was quite forced. The old cast wasn't great too. Johnny Depp played a drunken, perverted idiot and not the clever Captain we know. Barbossa was nice, but overacted too and was wasted. Salazar was a standard villain and easy to forget 2. The scenery and costumes CGI everywhere. The old trilogy had nice pictures and outdoor shots. Part 5 is almost completely done with a green screen and doesn't look as good as the old ones. The costumes are really boring and aren't comparable with the fancy and great outfits of the old trilogy. 3. The story The story of the movie was simple and not creative. But to be honest, the old movies didn't have a great story too, but they had good characters and dialogues and much more to offer. In part 5 not only the story is bad, but also the pacing. The first 40 minutes are quite rushed: the movie doesn't take time to introduce the characters and the story. Everything is rushed and suddenly the movie get's really slow and boring. I was almost sleeping. The ending is rushed again and I was relieved when the movie was finally over.
My recommendation: Save your money, watch part 1-3 and pretend there is no part 4 and 5
