The same old Pirates - just way older

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2017)

I went into this movie not expecting a whole lot. Since the original Pirates of the Caribbean- and even the second- I haven't felt that sense of wonder and adventure and intrigue that really brought me to enjoy and love the movies. In Dead Men Tell No Tales I felt there was no sense of mystery or intrigue. Right from the beginning you know Jack Sparrow will be drunk, the Pirates will want gold, and that there will be silly trials and tribulations along the way. I essentially knew what the ending would be half an hour in, so I was really just sitting in the cinema, bored, and waiting for the inevitable (clichéd and drawn-out) ending to happen. I really would like to add something positive, but I genuinely can't think of anything.
