An intelligent movie with a strong script? Are you drunk?

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2017)

Let's make the point. What are you looking for? A strong script, a dark atmosphere and an unexpected twists? And you going to watch Pirates? In this case score it as sh... bad film and let us have done with it. But if you are looking for action, jokes and Jack Sparrow (sorry, captain Jack Sparrow) then you are in the right place.
Critics vs Fans
So, you can rate movie from 1 to 10 based on your expectations. Is this the best part of the Pirates and the best role of Johnny Depp? Of course not! But is this the worst movie you have ever seen? Nope.
I'm really annoyed by people who criticize the Pirates for "stupid action and lack of ideas". And because of the use of the charismatic character of Johnny Depp. 3 of 10, no more! However, Fast and Furious, they said, is good movie. Without weaknesses of the Pirates. Double standards.
Pluses
My expectations were not high: Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, pirates and action. Not so much, actually. After several shocking bad movies, I doubt sequels.
We have Jack Sparrow, I think that this is one of few reason why people go to this movie. For me interesting character is Barbossa, with his evolving from evil to chaotic good. If you like Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley they also return... for a few minutes on the beginning and at the end. Besides, do you remember the names of their characters?
Then action, action, action with some jokes. And cool graphics.
Minuses
I will mention only a few of them, that tortured my brain the most. The script. OMG, where did you get it? It's... it's...it's at the level of a book for children. You must turn off the brain and don't ask questions! Script has several interesting scene, for example how Jack got his nickname. But at all it's too childish.
Villain. Captain Salazar is the most non-charismatic and poor villain of all Pirates. He is some sort of hybrid of Davy Jones and Barbossa from first Pirates without charm.
"Captain" Jack Sparrow. Didn't expect to see him in the minuses? In this part I realized who Jack is - he is a loser. Judge for yourself - in the final he gets all prizes, but every movie we meet him at the social bottom. This part of Pirates emphasizes his failures. It's problem of script.
Sea battles. Yes, we have them. But creators on the way to the Fast and Furious model. Ships - have, sea battles - who loves them?
Because of my expectations and just because of them - 7/10
