Dead Men Tell No Tales

Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, sort of on a fluke, but I have to admit I really enjoyed it. Definitely the best one in the franchise since the original, and despite a relatively long run time, it’s nothing like the horribly bloated World’s End.

Salazar is easily as good a villain, if not better, than Dave Jones. And the supporting cast, especially Barbosa, kill it.

Oddly, though, the movie retcons a lot of the Jack Sparrow lore established in outings 2 and 3, but it’s mostly for the better.

If you were on the fence, get off and go. You’ll have a lot of fun.
