À propos de ce film

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill fortune blowing even more strongly when a crew of deadly ghost pirates led by an old rival, the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea...including him. His only hope of survival lies in finding the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that gives its possessor total control of the seas.

Notes et avis

Eh... It lacked what made the first three films great. I had high hopes for this movie, and I was let down. It lacked the swashbuckling sword fights and treasure hungry pirates that make a pirate movie. The story was too simple compared to the first three films. It dragged on with one main storyline and ended, being propped up with over the top CG and a pathetic Jack Sparrow. It was by no means a bad film, but it wasn't good. I gave up when they had to move the story forward by using a flashback, a rather lazy way to explain the story. To sum it up...eh.

This movie has none of the charm of the pirates franchise. The CG looked expensive but overdone. The action scenes were completely without meaning. The main characters were flat, and the plot was entirely predictable--except when the script writers were clearly just pulling things out of their asses. There were a bunch of new curses and magic rules laid out with no back story or explanation. Jack Sparrow's complete lack of character development is frankly obnoxious at this point. The villain was uninspiring, and Geoffrey Rush was wasted as Barbossa in this film. This movie was bad. If you want to watch a great Pirates movie, watch the first one.

Jack's personality completely changed. I was looking forward to seeing something different in the PotC series, but Jack's odd version of cleverness was always a constant. No matter how outlandish the storyline, Jack was always odd but endearing. In this movie he was everything expected but endearing. I don't know what it was but I did NOT like him at all. The entire storyline seems like a confused, clumped set of unrelated ideas, and Jack is over here acting out of character...just...no.
