Here is My Movie Review of Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales

So basically what happens is that it takes place right after the fourth movie left off and you have this guy named Henry Turner who is the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan And he is approached by Captain Salazar who tells him to find Captain Jack Sparrow and tell him that he is coming vengeance and he wanted to find the Trident to kill Jack Sparrow so it's up to Henry Turner team up with Jack Sparrow and his crew to take down Captain Salazar and that's basically what the story is for the film. I have to say the storyline in this movie is much better than the storyline in the forest film because the storyline in Pirates of the Caribbean on stranger Tides Just wasn't really interesting and didn't really make a lot of sense but the storyline this one's actually really interesting because and about Henry Turner trying to Take down Captain Salazar and prevent him from finding the trident. 

Now the acting in this movie is not that bad I still think everyone does a terrific job as their characters and I have to say i feel like they are giving more than effort in this movie than they were in the fourth film because well they did a great job as their characters it just feels like the writing for the characters just wasn't really good at all. 

Johnny Depp plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the film. I have to say he still did a terrific job and  even in the fourth film even in parts where that film is not working he still gave a really entertaining performance as the character. Now the character of Captain Jack Sparrow is relatively the same as he was in the other four movies because he has to help Henry Turner prevent Captain Salazar from getting the Trident to rule the sea and kill everyone. Probably the best moment with Captain Jack Sparrow is when he first meets Carina Smyth and he tries to rescue her from the British Gardens and not only was it a really awesome scene but it makes sense because they think that they share their witch and it also sets up their relationship as the film goes on. It is probably the most important moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Geoddrey Rush, Brenton Thwaites, Javier Bardem and Kaya Scodelario Is still perfect. 

Now for this being Geoddrey Rush´s final performance as Captain Barbosa. I have to say he probably gives his best performance as the character. You can tell he is having a lot of fun as this character, just giving one of the most powerful and emotional performances of the entire film. Now Captain Barbosa has come a long way from the first Pirates of the Caribbean because he was actually the first  villain in this franchise and he wouldn't the main villain in Pirates of the Caribbean the curse of the Black Pearl but after that he did redeem himself and became one of Captain Jack Sparrow's allies throughout the rest of the series. Now in this film Captain Barbosa is relatively the same, he still is very grumpy, he still argues with Captain Jack Sparrow and their moments are probably the highlight of the entire film. Also unlike the fourth movie stranger Tides Captain Barbosa actually has a little bit more to do in this film than they did in that film because in this film he wants to help Captain Jack Sparrow take down Captain Salazar and prevent him from getting the trident and rule over the thieves.  Probably the best moment with Captain Barbosa is during the climax where he actually sacrifices himself to kill Captain Salazar and  save everyone and what makes it so sad is that it's kind of similar to Iron Man's death in the MCU where were essentially watching a beloved character that being Captain Barbadosa ending his own life to save everybody else's and it's probably the saddest moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Johnny Depp is still perfect just like how it was in the other movies. 

Brenton Thwaites plays Will Turner's son Henry Turner In the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character. Now The character of Henn Turner is really interesting because In this film he has to help Captain Jack Sparrow take down Captain Salazar and prevent him from harnessing the power of the Trident so it doesn't kill every pirate on Earth. Probably the best moment with Henry Turner it's when he's confronted by Captain Salazar and not only is it a very Showing scene but it makes sense because even he couldn't utter many words because of how nervous he was confronting him. It is probably the scariest moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Johnny Depp is still remarkable. 

Kaya Scodelario  plays Henry Turner's girlfriend Carina Smyth In the film. I have to say she still does a spectacular job as the character. Now the character of Carina Smithy Is a really interesting character because throughout the movie the Pirates believe that she is in which but she keeps telling them that she's not and she said that she's there to help them take down Captain Salazar and prevent him from having the Trident to wipe out all of the Pirates on Earth. The twist reveal that Carina Smithy learned how to read Stars from our father is probably a very surprising twist of this entire franchise.  Probably the best moment with Carina Smyth  is Is where she Means Captain Salazar for the first time and not only is it really disturbing but it makes sense because he'll do anything and his power to kill her along with Jack Sparrow's crew and it is probably the most nail biting moment of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Johnny Depp is fantastic. 

However the actor who steals the entire movie is Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar. Now when comes to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie villains they are for the most part really good I think captain Barbosa from the first movie where they really fun because he also had a very fun and tragic backstory and he does redeem himself start to like Captain Jack Sparrow as friend and as a part of his Crow. Then there was Davy Jones from the two sequels and he had the best villain in the whole franchise because he had a very dark backstory and you really feel bad for him but at the same time he is very scary and it is all thanks to Bill Nighy's powerful and creepy performance. Then is Blackbeard from Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides which I didn't really care for him as the villain I thought he was very boring and uninteresting and well Ian McShane did try to do with his performance it was that we not enough to redeem the character also I think his villain motivation that did not make sense because he wanted to have the fountain of Youth to become younger and that just did not work out at a proper villain motivation. But I have to say in this film  fixed that problem because Captain Salazar is buy doubt the scariest villain in the entire franchise because this guy will do anything to get where he wants and his backstory is very interesting because his grand father was killed By other Pirates and also Jack Sparrow Trapped him in the devil's triangle along with his crew and he died but then he came back at the ghost pirate so you can actually feel bad for him and you can also understand why he has such a burning hatred toward them why he wants to use the trident to kill all the Pirates because he views Pirates as The definition of pure evil because he believed that all the Pirates are bad because all they do is kill and steal from people. Also out of all the villains in this franchise he came the closest to actually killing Captain Jack Sparrow because he literally stabs him in the chest with the trident. Probably the best moment with Captain Salazar is were he transfers his entire body into Henry Turner's body and not only that really scary but it actually felt like it came out of a horror movie because he essentially wants to use Henry Turner's body to kill Captain Jack Sparrow it's probably the most disturbing and Prime the messed up moment of the entire film. The Rivalry between him and Captain Jack Sparrow is perfect because you understand how much he had a burning hatred towards it because he had the one that is responsible for his father's death and he'll do anything it's power to straight up kill him and his entire crew. Also I can tell that Javier Bardem had a lot of fun as this character just relishing the definition of evil and cruelty for this character and the voice he puts on is Really creepy and really disturbing it works extremely well and not to mention it really remind me of the way Gary Oldman voice Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2 because in that film Gary Oldman does put on his very creepy and raspy voice. I think Captain Salazar is up there with Hela from Thor Ragnarok and one of the best villains of 2017. Fun fact actors like Ian McShane, Hank Christopher Waltz, The chemistry between him and Johnny Depp is astounding. 

The directing by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg It's really interesting because why I like about their directing and that they kind of fixed most of the problems I had with that fourth movie because that one was not really interesting the villain was very Bland and quite frankly a very terrible villain but in this film they actually make the storyline a lot better and a lot more fun. They also did a terrific job of developing Captain Salazar because they give him a very tragic backstory in a very powerful and very interesting motivation. I also like how they gave Captain Barbara a very powerful and emotional send-off for him. I think it is really terrific of how they did that. 

So in conclusion I still really enjoy this film because it actually fixes the problems I had with the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie on Stranger Times because that one did not have an interesting story and the villain Blackbeard was not really interesting and not that scary but luckily in this film it had a much better storyline because it is focusing on Henry Turner trying to find the Trident before Captain Salazar. Also the Action sequences  were really interesting, Especially that final  battle against Captain Salazar and his Crow that took place underwater. Also Captain Salazar is a really intimidating and interesting villain because his motivations are very understandable and personal because he wants revenge on Captain Jack Sparrow for trapping him and his crew in the devils triangle and letting him die which caused him to come back as a ghost pirate. Also Javier Bardem’s performance is the thing that makes this character so fun and Incredible. Now I will say I do think the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies are better because of the story and writing. But this one is a big Improvement over the forth film because I had a much better storyline and way better villain. I think Captain Salazar is up there with Dreyfus from Dawn of the planet of the Apes as one of the best villains of the 2010s. I still think that this movie is probably the most underrated film of 2017. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I give this movie a 7/10.
