It's a Pirate's Life for Me!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2017)

Just saw the film! I was excited for DMTNT, but I didn't think it would be this good. It hit all my expectations for a Pirates movie and even surpassed them. The last movie that had me experience so many emotions at a theater like this was Rogue One!

I laughed (a lot) - I cried (Barbossa you are freaking boss, a true pirate) - I cringed (Jack Sparrow's drunken behavior, lol) - I grinned(a ton) - I had a great nostalgic feeling (from seeing Will, the Dutchman, the Pearl, and Elizabeth) - I cheered (when the Pearl came back and when the credits played) - The movie gave a sense of fulfillment (it really felt like the producers were trying to end the series but also tell an interesting story) - Digging into Jack's backstory was really cool

Geoff Zanelli, one of Hans Zimmer's proteges, did great work on the soundtrack. The Brethren Court theme was brought back, as was Will's theme!
Honestly, I think this movie may be my second favorite Pirates movie. I can't believe I like it better than Dead Man's Chest, I didn't think this movie would break into the top tier of Pirates movies for me (DMC, AWE) but it did! What an emotional roller-coaster and a great finale to the Pirates series.
