Pirate of the caribbean* // Johnny Depp is carrying the whole movie.

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2017)

Here's my short review of the movie.
Note: I am a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Act I: Starts out pretty good, not what I'd expect, but what happens in the beginning is important for us to understand the rest of the movie. However I think they should have started it differently.
Act II: It really feels like you're watching a pirates of the caribbean movie, but it also feels a little overdone. Johnny Depp is really carrying the movie and without him it would be very boring. However the movie fails to entertain me through the entirety of act II, there are moments where I am genuinely bored, and there are moments where I am laughing my ass off. Like mentioned earlier I do believe that the special effects are very overdone.
Act III: This is where things start to really take off, and there are some really good scenes, but at this point it does not really feel like a pirates of the caribbean movie anymore. Too much CGI and un- realistic things happening. Feels like a typical Hollywood action-scifi movie, and not a comedy-action.
This movie was not as good as I wanted it to be, but not as bad as I expected it to be either. I think this is the second worst movie in the franchise, but it was certainly worth my money.
TL;DR Humor: Nailed it! Acting: Very good acting, especially Johnny depp! Special effects/CGI: Overdone, but nice to look at. Plot: A little messy, but good over-all.
