Same Procedure as Every Year

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2017)

To start with the conclusion: There is nothing wrong with "Dead Man Tell No Tales", but it feels like every other "Pirates of the Caribean" movie. Johnny Depp acts silly, there is a young couple which is constantly fighting but secretly in love, there is rivalry with Captain Barbossa, there is also an army ship searching for them and they are all chased by an evil ghost ship and it's ghost crew. You'll probably guessed it, all of them are chasing a mysterious artifact and that's about it with storytelling.
Yeah, everybody is acting good especially Javier Bardem, but all characters are kind of one dimensional. I hated the character of Kaya Scodelario, even though she is very likable and beautiful. It's not her fault. The writers gave her exactly two characteristics: She is smart and she has boobs. The First one is mentioned and used as a joke way to often and for the latter, there are a way too much scenes focusing on her cleavage. Even the male me, was annoyed by that and kind of sad for Kaya Scodelario. This woman is capable of much more than they gave her.
To be fair, all of the action sequences where great looking and creativity went into them. If you liked the other movies of this franchise, you'll probably love this. If you don't watch it for pure dumb enjoyment or skip it.
