I Watch Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge
New (to me) films of 2018: Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge which apparently was released in the USA as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
After a turn to a new story in Stranger Tides the increasingly incoherent Pirates of the Caribbean series returns to having an interest in the Turner/Swann family. In this case we find ourselves keeping company with the next generation. Henry Turner wants to break the curse that keeps his father on the Flying Dutchman. Carina Smyth (not a witch) has the map that no man can read, that leads to Poseidon’s Trident, which can control anything at sea. Notorious and undead piratehunter Captain Salazar has been released from the Devil’s Triangle. And all of them need Captain Jack Sparrow, who is somewhat down on his luck (again).
The bank robbery is good. Most of the set pieces are okay if a bit over the top. I liked some of the jokes.
Watch This: If you want more Pirates
Don’t Watch This: If you’ve had enough Pirates, or were never interested in the first place.
Previously: I talked about Piracy and Beards on this very blog.
