The worst Pirates Of The Caribbean film

Rating: 5/10 (15 September 2017)

The fifth film in the Pirates-series is in my opinion the worst in the franchise.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge does give us some pretty entertaining moments. The visual effects are very good, and the acting is overall very good. I think that the screenplay for the film was really badly written and gives us a very sloppy story. There are some good character moments, mainly from the new lead actress and Barbosa. The only characters in the film I enjoyed watching. Johnny Depp was really disappointing in this Pirates film, and half of the time he was just drunk on set, which really showed and it made it painful to watch him on screen.
The film starts really well. I had good hopes that it could go somewhere, but mid- way through the story starts to gradually decline and get worse. In addition I think there are a lot of characters that just don't do anything to the story.
The decision to bring back Orlando Bloom to play Will Turner is fundamentally a good one, but I'm so disappointed with his involvement in the film. It seems Disney only took him back to promote the film and lure old fans back for more.
Javier Bardem does an okay job as the films villain, but there was nothing special about his performance.
All in all, I would say that I am very disappointed with this film, and really hope we don't get any more Pirates films. I didn't have huge expectations to begin with, but I thought the film would deliver more than it did.
