Alright action and 3D effects coupled with a boring story!

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2017)

This is my first film from this particular series. If the earlier ones are anything to go by this installment, I'd have to conclude that it's vastly over-rated and pretty boring - or at least, this one is.
The action and the 3D effects do wake one up in between and begin to catch your interest a bit, but then the slow plot and in fact a very nonsense kind of story diminishes everything.
As a side-note, is that what Captain Jack Sparrow is all about? In this one at least, he plays the role of a passenger who's carried by others, and circumstances, here and there with him being in control of not even an ante. Some of his dialogues do provide a good comic relief, but surely that's not why they cast Johnny Depp? His role was nothing less than that of a joker.
