Trivia

With a release six years after its predecessor, this marked the largest gap between the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

Goofs

Gunlocks, or flintlock firing mechanisms, are visible on the cannons of the British ship as an officer cocks them. These devices were rare since they only could be adapted to new guns, and only became a standard issue in the British Navy around the 1800's, fifty years after the movie is set.

Quotes

Mullroy: The entire fleet is being sunk. And we'll soon be dead.
Scrum: And quite possibly out of business.

Crazy Credits

A scene after the end credits shows Will and Elizabeth asleep when their bedroom is entered by a silhouette of Davy Jones. Will awakens and assumes this as a nightmare, but is oblivious to a few of Jones' tokens remaining.

---

Alternate Versions

The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

User Reviews

A mediocre film from a dying series of great films.

Sadly, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was just a mediocre film from a dying series of great films, and this film honestly brings nothing new to the table for this series. In a time full of cinematic universes, and unnecessary reboots, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales doesn't do anything special to wow audiences like it originally did almost 15 years ago. The film was full of mediocre acting, writing, visuals, and music, and is a film that will honestly just end up being forgotten like the film that came before it. In the end I decided to give Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales an "Alright" on theVade Review Bar or a 5 out of 10. It's heartbreaking to say, but I have to agree with what Mark Kennedy from the Associated Press said about this film. "After this fifth episode, you'll wish Disney would just declare the franchise dead and tell no more tales."
