A fast paced, swashbuckling, good time that should end the franchise

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2017)

After the disappointing On Stranger Tides, I was intrigued but kind of doubtful going into Dead Men Tell No Tales. I was very surprised by how much fun it was. Dead Men Tell No Tales is a return to form for the franchise that has great action set pieces, some really funny jokes, and unlike On Stranger Tides, has a very fast pace that will never leave you bored. Johnny Depp and Geoffery Rush can play these characters in their sleep by now and nail their characters again. Also the new comers all did a good job as well especially Javier Bardem who chews up every scene he's in with relish. In my opinion it was worth the price for admission. My only problem is that the pace could sometimes work against the movie because it can be so quick that if you miss a certain line you might not understand something later on. They are probably simple enough stuff that you can probably figure it out but they can slightly take you out of the movie if you do. Overall, while not as fantastic as the first 3 it was a great adventure that I'd be happy to see again. But Disney please just end it on a high note here.
