It's The Pirate's Life

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2017)

After On Stranger Tides (a not so good pirates sequel) here we are, with a new movie and for me they really achieved to recover the feeling of the original trilogy, well not like the first one, but it's two sequels.
It tells us the story of Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), the son of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) who is trying to find the way to break the curse of his father and for that he must cross the seas with the famous Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and a young astronomy girl called Carina (Kaya Scodelario) while they're chased by the semi-dead Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) who is looking for revenge after Jack Sparrow. The story is quite simple and at parts it was a bit of rip-off from the previous ones, specially the second one (someone is chasing Jack Sparrow for a pay off with him and he cannot steady in the land) but for me it worked well and was very entertaining and funny.
Johnny Depp provides another hilarious and quirky performance of the "peculiar" Captain Jack Sparrow as well as Geoffrey Rush in the role of Captain Hector Barbossa. Even Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in their small roles were great, maybe because of the nostalgia of seeing them together again after ten years. This about the old faces but in the new there are some great performances. Well, Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) didn't gave it too much emotion and despite some good moments he felt like a bit flat. On the other hand, Kaya Scodelario gives a great performance of strong and scientific woman trying to fight in the world of the manly pirates, and also she is very beautiful. And we have the Spanish Javier Bardem in the role of the evil Captain Salazar. I didn't expected too much from him, but he surprised me delivering anther great villain to this fantastic saga.
Most of the visuals were done amazingly. I specially love the last battle when the sea opens in the middle and they can walk through it. The cinematography provides some very beautiful shots like the ones in the island of Will & Elizabeth and also I have to mention the guillotine scene that it was filmed in a way that made laugh a lot trough all of it. Also I have to mention the score, that here was made by Geoff Zanelli, a frequent collaborator with Zimmer, and while he is not Zimmer, he brings back many of the old themes as well as creating some very good new ones, like the beautiful Carina theme you can hear in the star island near the end of the movie.
Overall, this is a great sequel to the pirates saga, being on the line of the first two sequels. I recommend it to you, if you liked the original trilogy or maybe if you just want to see a very funny and entertaining movie full of action, adventure and a bit of romance
