Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (aka Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales) is the fifth outing of Captain Jack Sparrow and his "friends" having adventures on high seas and basically trying to stop getting Jack killed....man, Jack does seem to have done a lot of things over the years and made a fair few enemies hasn't he? Here's the official trailer...
This time, Jack is on the hunt for the Trident of Poseidon, a treasure that can break all curses of the sea, with the help of his crew, Hector Barbarossa and Will Turner's son all the while being hunted by pirate hunter Captain Salazar, who wants revenge for his death.
It's a fun movie movie with the usual stunts and crazy shenanigans you'd come to expect from a POTC movie, but I felt it had something missing from it, especially when you consider this is potentially the end of the series (there are conflicting reports with some saying it is the end, and others stating that this is the beginnning of the end). There are several things that happen during the movie that ignore the series canon too (although to be fair this does happen quite a bit in this franchise in the other movies), making it feel at times that the movie was made by people who knew nothing about the franchise, but despite this it still isn't too bad a story wrap-up, and has an interesting after-credits scene too (although a majority of the audience left the screen as the credits started to roll).
The make-up and CGI where pretty good, Salazar and his crew looked pretty good and that as always was one of the highlights of the movies in this franchise...the demons that come out seem too look more and more flamboyant and in my view quite awesome....however, there were a few occasions when watching it in 3D that Salazar looked liked he'd been cut and pasted into the action which was a bit distracting sometimes.
The movie isn't really worth watching in 3D either, it felt flat still which was a disappointment, but that does seem to happen with a lot of movies these days.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge is in cinemas now, rated 12A and can be seen in 2D, 3D and D-Box.
