Rotten Tomatoes - 29% | Average Rating: 4.8/10

They seem pretty mixed so far.

Empire - ★★ - Not the return to form you might have been hoping for. Its story might cover all the same beats as the 2003 original, but there's little of that film's spark or spirit.

Variety - The "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise steers off-course in this drab fifth entry.

The Guardian - ★★ - There are a few new faces but not many new ideas in the fifth instalment of the increasingly becalmed Disney franchise.

Forbes - A Fitting Finale To Johnny Depp's Defining Franchise.

Just by reading the quoted part I don't know if this is a positive or negative review xD

 

[Transistor]

Sounds about right. Didn't look good at all from the trailers. Javier Bardem's character looks like a watered down Davy Jones and the whole Jack Sparrow schtick is getting really old

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Who would have guessed this wouldn't turn out well.

everyone say its best one after 1 .

or par with 2 atleast what does make you say that

 

[Just_one]

Not surprised... the 4th one was awful...

 

[CaviarMeths]

Damn, with all Disney has been slaying lately, why is this the one franchise that they just can't get right?

Lol @ "franchise steers off-course" from Variety though. Where have you been for the last decade my dude.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Drab Men Tell No Tales

 

[strafer]

At least we will have the Great Verbinski Trilogy.

 

[DMczaf]

Just from the trailers of this film, its obvious with each sequel after he original trilogy, Gore was the driving force.

As divisive as the 2 sequels were, at least it was it was the director's vision and felt fresh and original

 

[Whompa02]

The 5th movie, to a franchise that should have probably ended with the first movie, is getting middling reviews? Man what a surprise.

 

[zsynqx]

All I care about is the Mark Kermode review, gunna be hilarious!

 

[CaviarMeths]

Just by reading the quoted part I don't know if this is a positive or negative review xD

It's a Scott Mendelson review, so I doubt he knows either!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Not surprised... the 4th one was awful...

And the 3rd one... and the 2nd one.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Where's that thread featuring terrible movie posters? Cause the one in the OP belongs in there.

 

[MadLaughter]

Considering how many dead men have somehow beaten death (Barbossa, Salazar, Davy Jones, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, the entire crews of all of these people) and how much talking many of them do, I take issue with the title.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Sounds like Keira Knightley will be in this more than we thought.

It's sounding exactly as I expected.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

?

Maybe it's wishful thinking.

 

[opricnik]

And the 3rd one... and the 2nd one.

whats up with 2nd haters , lol it has one of the best villain of all movie history and felt great.

these threads always bring all haters i guess

 

[MMarston]

I am literally looking at the first one right now on TV and Jack just made a snide remark saying how a ship could leave no survivors when there are stories about it.

 

[Just_one]

And the 3rd one... and the 2nd one.

2nd one isnt THAT bad , but yeah the 3rd one at least ties up the trilogy.

but the 3rd is where they started to go overboard with the comedic side of Sparrow...

 

[SpideySenses]

This must be the first time the UK has ever renamed a movie for the better.

I dont get how/ where this Dead Men Chest hate started.

 

[wesleyshark]

land the 2nd one.

Lol no. The 2nd one is the best.

Bill Nighy is a treasure and can make any bad movie worth watching. He was great hamming it up in Underworld too, but that movie was a steaming pile.

 

[Psychoward]

At least we will have the Great Verbinski Trilogy.

I disagree.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

This proves that they should really do something original like maybe a space mountain movie or maybe a movie based on its a small world.

 

[TS-08]

Where's that thread featuring terrible movie posters? Cause the one in the OP belongs in there.

It's not good, but I don't think it's that bad. It's a pretty typical "throw all of the main characters on there somehow" poster.

 

[AkumaNiko]

This proves that they should really do something original like maybe a space mountain movie or maybe a movie based on its a small world.

Nah, i want a BETTER haunted mansion movie. One not starring eddie murphy

IKR. It's almost like you're not allowed to enjoy something that some people want to hate.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to this, can't even begin to gaf about reviews.

 

[opricnik]

You must only watch 5/5 star indie movies then because its much better then stuff most people watch like MCU Craps,Star Wars Nu Trilogy/Prequels or other blockbusters

 

[Just_one]

I dont get how/ where this Dead Men Chest hate started.

i liked the 2nd movie

Setting sail for fail.

Johnny Depp needs work now I hear

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Pirates 1 was a perfectly great standalone film that they fucked up with unnecessary sequels.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

All I care about is the Mark Kermode review

Yup.

If anyone hasn't seen his Pirates reviews, go check them out.

His Transformers reviews too.

 

[strafer]

I disagree.

Sorry you feel that way.

What is? Underworld??

Come on, now.

 

[Donos]

These movies start really to become indistinct in between the parts. I can recall most of part 1. Then it's probably a mix of 2-4.

 

[Falchion]

Ruh roh. Wonder what Disney does with the franchise if this doesn't make all the money they think it will.

 

[opricnik]

I am sure it wont fail atleast commercially and me thinks quality. These rottentomates stuff is so overblown bunch of random people adding reviews really, some of people reviewed pirates 5 gave Assasins creed 8/10 or tomato for me that movie was 1/10.

to each own

 

[cackhyena]

Lol no. The 2nd one is the best.

Oh. No.

 

[BeforeU]

I wasn't expecting much. Last one was a disappointment too.

I am done with this series. Have no desire to watch it.

 

[opricnik]

Oh. No.

"Instead of giving a deep analysis about comment i was quoted i decided to reply with two words that doesnt even explain anything but moving posts."

 

[flintstryker]

The 2nd one is legit my favorite adventure movie of all time i can't understand the hate
