These films are still commercially successful worldwide, but there's something to be said about the fact that this is the second-lowest grossing entry in the franchise. I shouldn't say that, since I'm sure the hardcore Pirates fans love this franchise, I just mean that mainstream audiences sort of gave up on the franchise by the end of the first sequel. I just mean its reasons for continuing to exist in this day and age when, really, people don't really care about the franchise anymore. I don't necessarily mean that I find the world and its characters fascinating, because I really don't. Pirates of the Caribbean is an interesting franchise.

The Pirates of the Caribbean series may have already had a sinking feeling but their miscalculated take on the humor and explosive set pieces in the movie just dashes whatever remained of the series against the rocks. Overall, however, it's the directors, Joachim RГёnning and Espen Sandberg (Bandidas, Kon-Tiki), who must got down with the ship. Javier Bardem stands and delivers just fine but it's hard to distinguish his ghostly heavy from that of Bill Nighy's Davy Jones in the grand scheme of things. It almost feels as if one of the Cosplay actors dressed as Captain Jack in front of Mann's Chinese Theater stands in for Depp. With his latest take on the pirate, it seems like he is imitating his past performances-not channeling the character. Johnny Depp's brilliantly daft Keith Richards-inspired take on the character was once considered so 'risky' that Disney flirted with firing the actor for such an off-beat portrayal. The single most interesting and reliable X-Factor of the series is, of course, Captain Jack Sparrow. It's not as if moviegoers were clamoring for more high seas hijinks from a series that was left for Dead years ago. In fact, it's a tale that shouldn't have been told at all. In Dead Men Tell No Tales, said tale lacks originality, the comedy falls flat and the action fails to throw off any sparks. With On Stranger Tides, the producers bought a very popular swashbuckling fantasy novel and STILL managed to make a boring movie. Waterlogging the storyline with confusing, long, and, frankly, dull otherworldly tangents was merely done to stretch out a thin plot to accommodate a third flick, At World's End. The first half of the second sequel, Dead Man's Chest, charts a fun familiar course but then quickly delves into an unnecessarily complicated abyss where humor goes out the window. Save for the first chapter, The Curse of the Black Pearl, this franchise never sailed smoothly. In this PG-13-rated adventure, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) searches for the trident of Poseidon while being pursued by an undead sea captain (Javier Bardem) and his crew. Paying cash money to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the equivalent of walking the plank.In trying to spring the murky, muddy, and muddled Pirates of the Caribbean series from the creative depths of Davy Jones' Locker by bringing in a new villain and directors, Disney's murkier, muddier, and even more muddled latest instead sinks any interest in future installments. Brenton Thwaites plays Henry Turner, son of Orlando BloomвЂ™s Will Turner from the first film subbing in for Keira KnightleyвЂ™s Elizabeth Swann is Kaya Scodelario as a headstrong, feminist astronomer so perfect for Henry they could have met on. Young re-enforcements are already on the scene. Will this be the last Pirates epic? We fear not. Couple the chaotic action with an incoherent script by Jeff Nathanson, and even the best actors go under. Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, the Norwegian filmmakers Oscar nominated for 2013вЂ™s exciting Kon Tiki, seem to have forgotten everything they learned about staging high-seas adventure.They keep throwing everything they can think of at the screen, including a pirate cameo from Paul McCartney to bookend the Keith Richards bit as JackвЂ™s daddy in 2007вЂ™s At WorldвЂ™s End.

There are otherwise no vital signs discernible in Dead Men Tell No Tales.
