Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales *no spoilers*


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
No spoilers
It wasn't quite as good as all the others, but fans will love it anyway. It's hard not to with such solid characters. There were some serious continuity issues and the two new "leading characters" whose lives the pirates' affected weren't as appealing as the others, but it's hard to keep striking gold in any long movie series. It was still a great time and very funny with outrageous adventure, a wide selection of the lovable supporting characters along for the ride, beautiful sfx, and an effort to bring the series to a definite ending which was a little bittersweet this time. The Salazar character is intriguing... all the antagonists of the Pirates universe always have to be pretty absorbing to offset the character of Jack and this one was up to the task as well. It seems to have been made with the understanding that the audience has seen at least the first three, so if you've never seen any of them, you probably shouldn't see this one first. The 3D in the theater was better with this one than with Rogue One. Totally worth it. I liked it very much.
