Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Perhaps it's about time Sparrow hung up his boots and thought real hard about what his next journey should be, because at this rate he's just going about in circles.

Let's just say don't go in expecting more, and you won't get less (and even get a surprise or two with Javier Bardem).

Go on this final voyage. The seas might get a bit rough but the pirates won't rob you off a good time.

In my opinion Jack Sparrow shouldn't have returned as this was an insult to his legend. After watching the film, my reaction was similar to that of Henry Turner, when he sees Sparrow for the first time – disappointed. Watch the film solely for the majestic Javier Bardem and his performance as the undead Captain Salazar. In fact it won't be wrong to call the 'lifeless' Captain Salazar, as the 'life' of the film. I give it a generous 2.5 stars, half extra for Bardem and that well executed, resounding climax.

Really hope this is the end of the franchise, despite it being a stronger outing than On Stranger Tides. Don't want it becoming another Rocky or Rambo swansong. Somewhat entertaining, and yet, still at sea about what's happening. You can go on for the ride, but the franchise won't hold your thrall like it once did.

The film ends with hope again, and looking at the current way the things with the franchise are proceeding, Disney needs to bring in plotline and decorate it with a better case of seaworthiness, in order to reach the same level it set in 2003 with Curse of The Black Pearl. A tad better than the last two outings, this instalment lies someplace in middle.
