You know what? It wasn't bad at all. It's 10x better than the last one, which isn't saying much, but it was a fun ride. All of the characters are well done, jack is back to being a supporting player and not the main star, it wraps up loose ends from the 2nd and 3rd movies, and introduces some interesting new characters and twists to the mythology. I can't front like it brings anything "new" to the table but its an interesting story and has a lot to say about parents and their kids, women, while continuing to show a pirates life can only go on for so long

I only saw first 3. I liked the first 2 but 3 was okay so I wouldn't even bother to see 4th and 5th cause I know how they milk the cash cow.

Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Trailer :francis:

From that thread:

Saw it today, it's the best sequel in the series although that doesn't say much since they were all fukking garbage, but I was mildly entertained by this. Nothing about it particularly stands out but it's solid blockbuster entertainment and luckily it never, never drags as bad as all of the previous sequels did. The plot here also has some interesting added lore in it, and I was surprised how much they tied it to the original trilogy, officially making the 4th entry the ugliest duckling in the series. The plot also comes of course with a shytload of plot holes and a couple of deus ex machinas that may or may not also come with additional plot holes, but like I said, it's all very mildly entertaining.

In the end it's a solid entry plus it also closes the series pretty well (for a series that's been largely so shytty I still felt some dust in my eye near the end :mjcry:), so why they even bothered with that post-credits scene I don't know. Disney loves that international box office I guess but I hope there never is another sequel.
