R.I.P. Pirates of the Caribbean 2003-2017

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2018)

In the past, sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, have been a rollercoaster in terms of quality, from the mediocre Stranger tides to the amazing At World's End, but that ends now.
This movie killed the franchise. That's all that anyone really needs to know, but here's my reasoning for why.
Well, first off, we were promised Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, but Will got a very minimal role, and Elizabeth had literally thirty seconds on screen. The movie even tried to replace their characters with Henry Turner and what's-her-face mathematician girl.
Of course, the movie retains amazing effects, music, and acting. But the plot of the movie killed everything. And though I blame this on the person who scripted the lines, and not Johnny Depp, but Jack Sparrow seems like a shell of his former self. Giving away the compass for a drink just doesn't seem like him. At least his comedic quotes stayed the same.
Some people have recommended not watching this unless you are a big fan of the franchise. I recommend the opposite. This movie basically ruined the franchise for me, so I only recommend it to those who hated it already, because I guarantee you will love this.
