Dear reader!
You are here to read my review , which means you are interested in my opinion. Before I start to explain my points , I would like to make clear the fact that these are my opinions , I don't want to make any of you to accept it or decline it. So here it goes , pay attention.
Fourteen years passed since the cameras of Gore Verbinski's crew started rolling for the first time. Prior the 21st century our greatest pirate phenomenon was considered to be the Treasure Island. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote an excellent novel which was based on the great pirates' life of that time period , but who could have predicted that the mouse-company would be inspired by this great 19th century writer? In that story , the main protagonist is a boy , who's life is influenced by the legacy of a great treasure. He sails off and the winds of luck sends a band of pirates into his route. Because of conflicted and shady intentions they team-up to reach the treasure.
So , turning back to the protagonists whose lives are influenced by a legacy. The key characters have always been the Turner-boys. Will turner owned a coin which was stolen from a cursed treasure. He had to realize that he was not just a smith , but was a pirate's son and he can't deny his roots. Last but not least he was driven buy love. He felt guilty , because Elizabeth Swann was taken by Barbossa instead of him , but eventually it turned out that not only gold and money can be a treasure , but a woman's heart. In the conclusion of their arc he gave his heart to Elizabeth , because Elizabeth did the same thing for him. Their love resulted in the birth of their son , the new protagonist of a new story , Henry Turner.
Henry inherited a cursed father. He declared his life to his father's redemption which eventually happens of course. Although I marked this review to have some spoilers , I don't want to talk about the story itself. I would like to let you know about the character's acts , the way they appear , and the conclusion of this great franchise.
Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg put serious efforts into this film to hit a level of quality which the film's predecessor , On Stranger Tides wasn't able to hit. They wanted to summon the feeling of the first movie , and eventually , I think they succeeded. Putting Jack Sparrow into the sidekick role is a good thing. The Verbinski-trilogy saw that Jack Sparrow as a main protagonist would be too much for the audience , so they focused more on Will and Elizabeth's love and act. Johnny Depp was put into a supporting role whose task was to pull the strings of the other puppets. It can't be told about OST , which used Jack Sparrow as the only and main protagonist. Johhny Depp is a brilliant actor , and Jack Sparrow is the embodied Johnny Depp himself , honestly by now we can't separate Depp's personality from Sparrow , but it was too much of him for two or so hours. The new directors saw that they have to go back to the roots and they introduced us Kaya Scodelario's Karina Smyth (you can predict Smyth is not her real name) and Brendon Thwaites' Henry Turner who wanted to solve the curse of his father. These actors are both satisfying in their roles and they are totally likable and sensible. Among the other great actors there are two whose's performances stand out : Javier Bardem and Geoffrey Rush. Rush always nails it as Barbossa , I think I liked him the most in this film. Javier was a great choice for Salazar , his acting is good but can't hit Bill Nighy as Davy Jones. As for Johnny Depp it was his worst performance as Jack Sparrow. Its reason maybe is that it is the fifth time he has to play the same character , or maybe because there wasn't any character transformation for Sparrow in fourteen years His witty dialogues are gone , for most of the film he is drunk and instead of being funny , I couldn't feel more than pity towards Sparrow during the movie. I don't want to say I didn't like him this time. He is still a great character and will always be , but he could be even better this time.
All in all , I liked the film more than On Stranger Tides , it is much closer to the original trilogy. It is (presumably) a great conclusion to a great franchise , Pirates will be missed. Thank you for your attention! :)
