Have they forgotten the past PoTC?

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2017)

I think this film was a real shame for what it was and what it could have been.
First off, a major tweak in the storyline to suit the new film is pretty awful, and almost an insult to the previous watchers who were paying attention. This all revolves around Jack's compass - in Dead Man's Chest we find out that Jack got it from Tia Dalma, however in Salazar's Revenge, Jack gets it from his dying Captain. Not only this but the "curse" of Jack's compass is evoked whenever he gives it away, yet in previous PoTC's Jack is constantly giving it away and getting it back, with no repercussions.
Secondly, rushed scenes. It didn't feel like they were anywhere for longer than 10 minutes. This also goes for the characters. Everything was pretty much bombarded onto the audience, with such a long time from the last one being released, I wish they'd taken the time to show and build the characters up again.
Thirdly, no one seemed to be the same. All of the characters, including and especially Jack, seemed to have completely changed from how they used to be. I had watched all of the films before watching this and with Salazar's revenge I found it really hard to see and appreciate the characters in the same light as I had before in the previous films.
Overall I feel they had very little regard for the past films, and although I liked the events in the film I wish they could have strengthened the ties and from the past films and tried to keep characters that we loved from before the same.
