Plot Holes were replaced with MORE plot holes

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2017)

I am a HUGE fan of the POTC movie franchise since I was a little girl. Its been my favorite fantasy movie and it never fails to entertain me. I was so excited for this movie, but ended up being disappointed. Ill be starting off with things I ' like and then move on to things I like.
Things I liked: 1)Getting to know about Jack's past, how he became a captain and got the compass, how he became the beloved Jack Sparrow we all know and love. I think it was a beautiful scene and it gave me goosebumps.
2) Barbossa's little secret daughter, that was a twist and it showed us a side of Barbossa we have never seen.
3) And as always Jack's escapes are always a favorite.
4) Salazar was a magnificent villain and if they used him more instead of easily solving the situation then the plot would have been magnificent.
5) The use of horses and how it showed that times have indeed changed
Things I didn't like...(WHOOO HERE WE GO)
1)When in the hell did Elizabeth have time to conceive Henry?? The beginning of the film was to take place two years after "Worlds End", Elizabeth had no time to conceive a child while being the Pirate King or whatever. ANd his father being trapped on the Flying Dutchman is another reason.
2)Johnny Depp was out of touch with Jack, there were moment where I thought it wasn't Jack on screen anymore. I Didn't even recognize him, how easily he gave up his beloved compass and how his hat was missing but he didn't care. It just wasn't him.
3)Carina Smyth (Barbossa) could have played such a strong female character in the series, being astronomer and daughter of Barbossa, they could have showed her being more knowledgebale on the adventure or given her more dialogue. All she did was talk about her father and yell for help and when she wasn't doing that she was looking at the Map No Man Can Read. We didn't get to know her enough as a character. She easily ended up with William with barely any interaction other than banter and both having the need to find the trident.
4) The whole trident thing all seemed so simple and the dead men curse breaking, it was all; solved so simply. Nothing difficult. I think they director tried to put too much in two hours and ended up with things making no sense.
5) I understand Barbossa having this connection with his daughter but it wasn't empathized enough and nor was it shocking when he died. I watched it in a poker face as he fell because i truly believe Barbossa will not stay dead, and if this does happen it will be obvious. The plot is being repeated and its gotten boring.
6)There was just so little of everything and too much information they were tying to fit in, it was hard to keep up. This lead the movie to plot holes such as:
-Now that the trident is broken and all the curses of the sea are broken...isn't this a bad thing? Like imagine what if a curse was holding something evil from being released, OH WELL TOO BAD
-Where the hell did Elizabeth come from?
-Who is the witch that was with British ships and what is her role?
-WHy wasn't this a prequel? if this was the history of Jack becoming a pirate I believe that would have been such an interesting story and view of POTC.
7) In the end everything was just so rushed, Jack got the Black pearl, a crew, the trident was broken everyone is peachy keen in a matter of seconds because all they had to do was escape like twice?
Im just really upset with the outcome of Dead Men Tell No Tales, it really could have been something great but the writing and directing just wasn't good enough i guess.
