davidgcthuss 1. It's a too big time jump letting Henry Turner & /Name of some Star/ Smith take the romance role of Will and Elisabeth 2.(SPOILER) Barbossa dies and is the Fayer of Mrs. Smith, doesn't fit at all into Barbossas Character 3.I think Jonny Depp has rusted in playing Sparrow...The first Three movies even the fourth were good played and in that way that it looks that it was the same person over the movies. But In this movie jack sparrow seems to be diffrent... with blonder hair, with an other type of walk and with a slight deeper voice... I like Jonny Depp, but I don't like this Movie...It has Ruined th Pirates of the Caribbean Saga

jodyfranz 12 year old me would have LOVED this movie! The ghost pirates were cool looking and the story was ok.The current me, the older, wiser, less mature...er more mature me thinks this was just an ok movie. Captain Jack seems less of a character in this one for some reason. Maybe there were too many characters? Or maybe this was the 5th installment of the same movie and was a little worn around the edges.But having said that if you are a fan of the Pirates series then you will probably like this one. I will say even though it's made for families I think the baddies are a little scary looking for some littles (my little one would have nightmares for months if she watched this movie).

bradinhanson I didn't expect much. Most of the previous pirates I gave a 5 or a 6. The first pirates got an instant 10. This one I gave a masterfully done 9. I was blown out of the water. I greatly cared for a character. It was none other than barbossa. Intentions behind every character was revealing, abundant, and satisfying. This movie was a thrill ride and was very unexpected how it turned out for me. Thank you for a WONDERFUL treat.

hecoxjus In the past, sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, have been a rollercoaster in terms of quality, from the mediocre Stranger tides to the amazing At World's End, but that ends now.This movie killed the franchise. That's all that anyone really needs to know, but here's my reasoning for why. Well, first off, we were promised Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, but Will got a very minimal role, and Elizabeth had literally thirty seconds on screen. The movie even tried to replace their characters with Henry Turner and what's-her-face mathematician girl. Of course, the movie retains amazing effects, music, and acting. But the plot of the movie killed everything. And though I blame this on the person who scripted the lines, and not Johnny Depp, but Jack Sparrow seems like a shell of his former self. Giving away the compass for a drink just doesn't seem like him. At least his comedic quotes stayed the same.Some people have recommended not watching this unless you are a big fan of the franchise. I recommend the opposite. This movie basically ruined the franchise for me, so I only recommend it to those who hated it already, because I guarantee you will love this.
