Far better than expected

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2017)

I was not sure what to expect from this after Pirates 4, so guess I kinda wen't in open minded.
First of they nailed the tone of the movie, it's back to the root of the first movie.
They introduce quite a few new characters, which worried me, because I was afraid it would make them too shallow. Luckily I actually felt i got to know them enough to care about them.
It's mostly me personally, but I really ain't' a fan of Javier Bardem, but he did work pretty well as a villain.
As expected the visuals were great, awesome effects and scenery which is a joy to watch.
The music and sound effects where amazing, and several times downright epic.
No movie is perfect, and this had a few issues like any movie. Like most sequels, they try to top what was done before, and I felt sometimes it got to be to unreal, rather than being smart and funny.
Depp plays the role quite well, but he can't match is own performance from the first pirates, which I think most expected.
No spoilers. The story was rather good actually, and worked as a backdrop for for the action and where they went.
The story did have a some plot holes, and a few things wasn't explained too well, but overall it all made sense.
So a final thought, too all those who lost faith in Pirates of the Caribbean after the letdown of the 4th. Go see this movie, it's a a lot of fun, and it restored my faith in the franchise.
