Just saw it thirty minutes ago. It's perfectly harmless and a fine conclusion to the series;unless Depp needs more $$$$. 7/10. I get why critics would be bothered by it (there's mugging the camera aplenty, CGI bombardment, awkward improv bits, and relentless pacing). But the epic feel and sense of scale is back, the action is awesome, and the supporting cast is used proper. Suitable popcorn entertainment.

I gave it an 8 because it was an improvement over Stranger, but it is a good place to end it here.

Super fun, high seas adventure with one of the, if not the greatest cinematic pirate of all time, the eternal Captain Jack Sparrow. Admittedly, at this point the films are highly formulaic, and largely predictable, which at the end does drag them down a bit, as little to nothing new is offered. But if you're going to follow a formula, make sure you follow an awesome one, and Pirates certainly delivers on this front. 7/10

I feel like the reviews are going to focus on Johnny Depp's divorce and stories of his behavior during production instead of the actual movie. lol you're probably right My guess is they'll say Bardem's performance is masked by distracting CGI (i think it looks fine) and that it'll be too long, it's 2 hrs and 30 mins isn't it? It's 2hrs and 9mins

B-Thankfully took a bootleg turn if you will from part 4. Still a bit stale though around the edges - we've seen most of the characters we like in finer form during 1-3. This is like trying to go home again, it's not the same. Even the final shots, practically copy-pasting the part 3 post credits was lazy. The post credits seems to want to throw us back into parts 2 & 3 ... rebooting movies within a single saga ftw
