With low expectations, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' is amusing

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2017)

Dead Men Tell No Tales doesn't rewrite the rulebook for the franchise or the genre as a whole, and is wholly predictable from start to finish, but the likable characters—Thwaites and Scodelario have more natural presence and mutual chemistry than Bloom and Knightley— creative action set pieces, and Depp finally being put in his place in the franchise creates a fun ride that's instantly unforgettable. It works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects, impressive CGI and a steady diet of PG-13 dialogue. There were couple of Scenes which were unnecessary (like where Keira comes out of nowhere in the final scene). Otherwise, the movie was overall good but can't match the goodness of the First 2 Installments of the franchise
My Rating : 3.5/5
