So donвЂ™t hornswaggle me out of that pleasure, ye fat bastards. They are perfectly harmless and that alone is reason enough for me to see Dead Men Tell No Tales вЂ“ like I did the previous one вЂ“ twice. They do however, remain a hell of a lot of fun. I just want you to know that, and this is no exception, most of these films are unnecessary. Will Dead Men Tell No Tales be a hit over Memorial Day weekend? I certainly hope so, but I also understand (and accept) that it might not be and thatвЂ™s okay, too. WeвЂ™ve been told one more is on the way and, while we get a good look at Will Turner and Elizabeth SwanвЂ™s son (last seen at the closing credits of At WorldвЂ™s End), a brief glimpse at a younger Captain Jack in a very spirited flashback, and enough hijinks on the high seas to keep them waterlogged for months after the filmвЂ™s opening weekend, I have a sneaking suspicion that thereвЂ™s a bit more to Sparrow legacy, savvy? Ultimately, Dead Men Tell No Tales is a fun, summer flick вЂ“ with a whooping cliffhanger of an ending вЂ“ that sets into motion the beginning arc of a grand finale that I honestly hope we get to see realized. With a zippy storyline that never feels bloated, it features bank robbing (as in the entire bank), strange reunions, outlandish locations, a new spooky crew of villains, and a rum-drenched pirate by the name of Sparrow all in search of PoseidonвЂ™s spell-breaking trident. Gibbs, Sir Paul McCartney as JackвЂ™s uncle, and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa. The newest chapter in the ongoing saga stars Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar, Brenton Thwaites as young Henry Turner, Kaya Scodelario as a plucky self-taught astronomer named Carina Smyth, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner (Captain of The Flying Dutchman, remember?), Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann, Kevin McNally as Mr. Shake your head and get confirmation upon all you thought you already knew about this movie. There are plenty of reviews telling you just how worthless this swashbuckling adventure is and how 2.5 hours of your time would be better spent mowing your and your neighborвЂ™s yard. If you want a hate-spewing review or an anti-Depp, anti-Disney tantrum, do another search. This is a positive review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. You might have guessed it already, bucko.

In the grand scheme of things, this film вЂ“ good olвЂ™ number 5 in the series вЂ“ is a pretty harmless good time. Avast ye! ItвЂ™s a big world out there and we are so small indeed. The latest Pirates of the Caribbean tale, starring Johnny Depp as the scoundrel Captain Jack Sparrow, is also more grounded and a wee bit more emotional than expected, but Dead Men Tell No Tales remains a swashbuckling affair that makes no apologies in its reach for the starry skies above our heads. The Black Pearl might still be trapped within a bottle, but this flick shoots as quickly and as straightforward as lightning across the sky. Yo ho! Directed by Norwegians Joachim RГёnning and Espen Sandberg ( Kon-Tiki) and written by Jeff Nathanson, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales moves swiftly, energized by the new blood involved in the project. The magic in the kingdom is still there, mateys.
