A tale not worth telling...

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2017)

I think it's high time Disney dropped the anchor for the Pirates franchise as this fifth installment went in no new directions. It's noisy, unfunny, and painfully unbalanced. The villain is forgettable, Jack Sparrow contributes nothing to the story, and the quirky nature clashes unevenly with the darker and grittier sequences, a flaw that's persisted worse and worse since Curse of the Black Pearl. There are a few entertaining set- pieces, but for the most part Dead Men Tell No Tales is a mindnumbing and senseless picture that was absolutely dreadful to sit through.
