6/10
A fun ride
6 May 2019
This is a step in the right direction for the franchise after the letdown of Pirates 4. Johnny Depp doesn't bring his A game here but the other characters get some decent screen time so it doesn't take too much of the shine from the movie.

There are a few laughs and the usual bevy of action you'd expect. The plot is as farcical as ever, so don't expect a deep thinker - just enjoy the fun. Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbosa never disappoints and Javier Bardem delivers a decent villain in the form of Captain Salazar.

Don't take it too serious, switch off your brain and just enjoy it for what it is: an action packed swashbuckling adventure.
