Directed by: Joachim Ronning & Espen Sandberg
Written by: Jeff Nathanson & Terry Rossio
Starring: Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Rush, Brenton Thwaites, & Kaya Scodelario
Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow in this ride-like movie. Sparrow is on the run from Captain Salazar (Bardem), the dead man that rules the sea. Salazar is on a quest to get revenge on Sparrow since Salazar and his crew were destroyed by Sparrow when he was young and new captain. Meanwhile, Will Turner's (Orlando Bloom) son, Henry (Thwaites), is on a quest for Poseidon's trident that is supposedly able to break any and all curses on the sea. In order to find it though he needs a girl, Carina (Scodelario) and a Sparrow.
It wasn't a terrible film. The film kept the audience entertained and didn't have any dragging parts.
The only issue I had was with a scene between Captain Barbosa (Rush) and Carina, which seemed odd. I can't tell you much since it contains spoilers.
The film felt like a ride because of how many adventurous parts there are. The dynamic between Kaya and Brenton worked well and imitated Bloom's and Keira Knightly's performance way back when.
Probably the best part of the whole film was the ending. If you do intend to see it, make sure to stay until after the credits. Just like the previous films, there is another scene.
