“Before he became the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, a young cocky sailor with the help of his crew defeats an evil pirate slayer Captain Salazar, leaving him and his sailors marooned as ghosts trapped in the Devil’s Triangle. But as the triangle crumbles and Salazar escapes Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to do so he must form an alliance with Carina Smyth a beautiful, fiesty astronomer and Henry Turner a young fugitive who in turn have their own reasons to obtain the Trident….”
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is totally and utterley outrageous – from it’s incredbile mind boogling visuals, wonderous & colourful costumes to it’s impecable casting Pirates 5 is everything and more a film fan could want from a modern day blockbuster – I watched the movie on IMAX in 3D and had an absolute blast from start to finish, the robbing of the safe where Sparrow’s crew drag the building through the village was insanely bonkers, so much fun and very much a Pirates moment, there’s a delightful cameo from Paul McCartney as a prisoned pirate, the return of old friends (good & bad), an evil turn by the delightfully creepy Javier Bardem (how did they do that makeup?) and a top notch performance from Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, who once again delivers a mesmerising, funny performance of our much loved Pirate, his movement & manerism’s on screen are majestic, watching Depp in this form is why I class him as not only a very good actor but also one of the greatest showman’s of our time – Pirates 5 does what all good blockbusters should do – it whisks you away from everyday life to a fantasy world that’s truly magical – a huge thank you should go to the Norwegian filmmakers Rønning and Sandberg for re-igniting this franchise and delivering an exciting, hugely fun trip to the big screen – I had a ball…. ★★★★½
