Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (FULL MOVIE REACTION)
Added 2023-11-07 18:23:14 +0000 UTCHey guys!
It's finally time to wrap up this Pirates of the Caribbean series! It has been insanely fun!! I really liked this movie! A ton of people were saying that this was the worst movie, but in my opinion, I really don't get it!
If anything, I feel like this movie is better than the 4th one! This kind of wrapped everything up and allowed things to come full circle.
What are your thoughts?
Love you guys so much, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the love and support you guys show me over here on Patreon! :)
Love,
Alex

As if no one has pointed out that Jack Sparrow’s uncle was played by Paul McCartney, a Beatle. You people are a disappointment 🙄

2023-11-14 02:34:21 +0000 UTCThis is def one of my favorite pirates movie. Idk why people hate it so much, it was funny, action packed, had a cool villain, and gave me so many goosebumps. 8/10 movie imo.

2023-11-10 00:49:01 +0000 UTCRe: your point #3: Both parts of the backstory are parts of his backstory. Jack DID help sink Salazar's ship after his captain was killed in the battle, but then later left piracy and became a privateer, where he worked for Beckett/the EIC on the Wicked Wench, and Beckett bribed him to haul slaves to the Bahamas with the promise he'd sell the Wicked Wench to him, but Jack stole the ship and freed the slaves instead, and in retaliation, Beckett sank the Wench and branded Jack a pirate. Jack got the Wench back when he cut the deal with Davy Jones to resurrect the ship, which he then rechristened as the Black Pearl. So they didn't really retcon the backstory--they just told a different piece of it that took place before the conflict with Beckett and Jack freeing the slaves because he wouldn't haul human cargo. Other than that, I really do agree with you on a lot of what else you said: this was a movie with a lot of potential, but they crammed way too much into it, a la the bad habits Disney's developed over the past handful of years. (See: my comment/soapbox upthread for my thoughts on that lol.)

2023-11-09 16:56:48 +0000 UTCI think that this is personally the worst pirates movie. It has some cool stuff, not gonna lie. Salazar is cool but it feels to much of a mix of Barbossa and the curse from the first movie and Davy Jones curves from the 2nd and 3rd Movie. And because of Salazars quirky character he doesn't really seem that threatening. And like some here already said, it just feels rushed... it should've been at least 2 movies to develope all the Characters more. And also like someone said, there is just stuff that is "wrong" or "different" from what was said or done in previous movies. Like the whole thing with the Compass, Jack gave it away before and it was fine. And some other stuff. Also like also someone said... Jack is pretty much a douche in this movie. And I personally think that Johnny Depp didn't deliver as good as he did in the previous films. His acting as Jack seemed different and the way he talks also seemed different. So yeah... overall it needed more times and did a bunch of changes that just seemed off. Is it a bad movie? No, I think all of the Pirate movies are pretty good... but for me personally it's the weakest one of the 5.

2023-11-08 18:25:01 +0000 UTCMy biggest problems with this movie are as follows: 1: They turned Jack into douchebag of a captain (making his flat broke crew pay him tribute, which he's never done in any of the other movies.) 2: They changed the established history of Jack's compass. Tia Dalma/Calypso says that he bartered it from her for something, and this movie just ignored that. (Also, Jack gave away the compass several times in the previous movies and it never released Salazar and his crew, so where did that come from?) 3: It pretty much retconned a much cooler and more badass back story as to how Jack became a pirate. A bonus scene from Dead Man's Chest had Culter Beckett talking to Jack about the "Cargo" that Jack "lost" when he was a privateer for the East India Trading company. The "cargo" being slaves and "lost" meaning "freed". 4: and finally, despite the Black Pearl's reputation, and their proclamations that it is the fastest ship on the seven seas, not one but TWO ships overtake it, seemingly minutes later. First the British ship, captained by Faramir from LOTR, and then Salazar's ship comes out of nowhere and does the same, sinking Faramir in the process. Not even the Flying Dutchman could keep up with the Pearl and this movie just spits on it, minutes after it's first appearance in almost 2 whole movies (by run time). Overall, I, personally, found this movie to be worse than On Stranger Tides, because at least that movie stayed true to the character of Jack Sparrow. Honestly, though, that's quite a shame because I found Capitan Salazar to be an amazing villain, with amazing effects, but since when is an amazing villain in a disappointing film anything new?

2023-11-07 21:59:09 +0000 UTCI like this movie, though it has pretty big issues. Fourth movie was 100% unnecessary and should’ve been cut. The fifth movie…well…it has its issues. As a writer, I tend to mentally break down plot and character and such while I’m watching movies, and this movie has some serious problems in that regard, which is probably why a lot of people thought there was something wrong with it (the subconscious actually has instinctual expectations when it comes to plot pacing—there’ve been whole books written about this that go into the psychology of story). I think, and this is just me speaking as a writer, that this movie should have been two movies. The character development is almost nil. There is SO MUCH they could have done from a character development standpoint, what with developing a relationship between Henry and Carina, between Carina and Barbossa, between Henry and Jack, etc. Plus, the whole Carina/Barbossa storyline on its OWN could have been a really fantastic thing to explore, because Barbossa is so obviously conflicted, because he basically sees her as something good and wholesome and he’s just this dirty, scruffy pirate who doesn’t deserve to have something so beautiful in his life (and maybe doesn’t want to sully hers). The romantic relationship with Henry and Carina could have also been developed better if they’d done two movies instead of one; as it is, it’s fairly abrupt and almost but not quite comes out of left field. The Henry and Jack storyline would have been awesome to see if it had also been more developed—there’s almost zero acknowledgment from Jack about how Henry was Will and Elizabeth’s son, and there’s no way Jack would’ve NOT commented more on that/done more with that considering how big of a part Will and Elizabeth played in the events of the first three movies. So yeah, from a character development standpoint, the movie is not great, mainly because there was so much they could’ve done with it but they didn’t, and the main reason for the character development lacking is because… The plot was paced WAY too fast. Disney did with Pirates 5 exactly what they’ve gotten really, really bad about doing with pretty much everything else (including Marvel movies): they’re trying to do way too much with not enough runtime to even give the plot time to BREATHE. A story has to breathe, it has to have room to spread out and develop; there’s a reason there’s a four-act structure to the vast majority of stories, and it’s like this movie tries to cram story enough for six-plus acts into four, and because of that, not only does the story not have room to breathe, neither do the characters have room to grow and develop. Disney has gotten very, very, very bad about hiring writers who basically think they’re too smart for the basics of writing, which you can see in pretty much every Marvel movie released during Phase 4 (except maybe Spider-Man: No Way Home and Guardians 3, though even Guardians 3 dances dangerously close to overstuffing the plot at times). This can happen a LOT with more experienced writers—they forget that all writing has to follow the basics, and you can get fancy with your writing on top of the basics, but if you don’t stick to the basics as the foundation of your story, the whole thing collapses like a house of cards. That’s why so many people, when watching a lot of the MCU phase 4 movies, come away feeling like it wasn’t that good, that the movie was a whirlwind where they had no idea what was going on, and they basically get lost in the plot, because so much is happening that they don’t know WHAT is happening. And IMO, I think Pirates 5 fell victim to that sort of writing. And that’s why Pirates 4 should’ve been dropped, and Pirates 5 should have been stretched out into two movies similar to what they did with Pirates 2 and 3. *steps off soapbox*

2023-11-07 21:05:54 +0000 UTC4th movie was trash tier, but this movie here was VERY fun throughout. Yeah, a good bit of it was a yawnfest (I nearly fell asleep twice) but I did enjoy myself overall. The end was so friggin LONG YEEEEEEESH! xD Is the series finished now? I really (hope so) doubt that it is. The first movie still holds my fave spot of the series. I think that will never change but I'm always down for more Captain Jack Sparrow! :)

2023-11-07 21:00:50 +0000 UTCI agree with you Alex! This movie was way better then the 4th one. Technically this should have been the 4th movie! Lol!
