A movie that could have been great but threw it away

Rating: 4/10 (29 June 2017)

Wow! I really wanted to like this movie, I could not. The positives are that it looks nice, but that's it. The movie starts out semi promising as we are introduced to Henry Turner (Will Turners son) who finds out that Will needs the trident of Poseidon so he can be human again. Then we find out Captain Salazar has beef with Jack Sparrow, then we find a scientist lady who is accused of witchcraft because she does scientific experiments who happens to be Barbarossa's daughter. Then we meet with Barbarossa and a real witch. Then Jack has to free the Dutchmen from the bottle. These are not even all the subplots as the movie is full of them and had way too much. This is Batman V Superman level of overstuffed subplots. At least there is closer as Barbarossa is seaming killed off for good, Salazar is dead at the end, and Will Turner's curse is lifted. But no, they sequel bait by bringing back Davy Jones in the post credit scene, indicating a 6th movie is coming. Can these Pirates movies just stop? This is coming from someone who liked the first 2 squeals.
