A Solid Movie for the Fans

Rating: 5/10 (26 January 2018)

The 6 year wait was over when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales was announced for Summer 2017 and many fans of the franchise including me were looking forward to this one.
The POTC Franchise started with a banger and a must watch classic in The Curse of the Black Pearl 2003 (10/10), had a worthy and great sequel 3 years later in Dead Man's Chest (8/10), an epic trilogy conclusion in their third movie that lacked a little bit Pacing (7/10) and a cool 4th movie, that sadly felt a little bit out of place (6/10).
Dead Men Tell No Tales is in no way a very good movie, but is delivers on a nostalgia level (although having 1/2 plot holes). The movie is again driven by it's character performances as Depp (Captain Sparrow), Rush (Barbosa) and Bardem (Salazar) deliver once again.
The story itself is okay, but offers nothing really new to the franchise but the film pacing and the action scenes are nearly on the level of the first two installments. All in all, it's a fun summer movie, that I wouldn't personally recommend to anyone who is no fan of the franchise: 6/10
