4/10
Boring and uninspired
21 December 2016
Despite throwing new pirate lords, Asian warriors, sea goddesses and whatyouhave at the audience, this convoluted mess of a story is to tiresome and lengthy to surpass the predecessors. The romantic story falls apart, Sparrow and the rest goes in to hunt for another mystic treasure (yet again), the dimensions grow but the tension does not.

There are uncountable logical errors in the movie and it seems the director only focused on visual eye-candy and schoolyard comedy. Including introducing Sparrow's father who seems to be a weathered and successful pirate, yet no one in all movies ever seemed to have heard of him or connect Jack Sparrow to that ultra-cool guy. Using a dub voice in the German movie that is overused for ice-cold cool characters from action movies totally overloaded this.

A franchise that only goes for coolness and tongue-in-cheek/awkward humor has placed a well executed but yet again soulless and long-winded (not) last installment.
