Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Stream
Rent & Buy
Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Capt. Jack Sparrow feels the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost sailors led by his old nemesis, the evil Capt. Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it, he must forge an uneasy alliance with a brilliant and beautiful astronomer and a headstrong young man in the British navy.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics were largely dismissive, finding the fifth Pirates installment an overcrowded, incoherent retread that squandered even the novelty of Javier Bardem as a villain — though a minority of reviewers argued it recaptured some of the original's fun, leaving audiences far more forgiving than the press.
“bloated, boring, repetitive, and draining”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Its pleasures are so meager, its delight in its own inventions so forced and false, that it becomes almost the perfect opposite of entertainment.”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“in which Johnny Depp's louche and campy Jack Sparrow played second banana to an insipid love story... the two romantic leads ... succeed only in making the shortest movie in the series seem just as long as the rest.”
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky·The A.V. Club
“Dead Men works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects, impressive CGI and a steady diet of PG-13 dialogue peppered with not particularly sophisticated but (I have to admit) fairly funny sexual innuendo.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“gorgeously detailed swashbuckling nonsense”
