It's crazy to think that back when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl came out in 2003, I wasn't married yet or a mother....here we are some 14 years later, now I'm both married and a mother to an almost teenager! I didn't know how a movie based on a Disney attraction would do. Let alone one with Johnny Depp as a pirate! It was all odd seeming at first, then we saw the movie and wondered how we lived without it for so long.
We're now 5 movies into this franchise! The latest installment Dead Men Tell No Tales is due to hit theaters on May 26th! I had the chance to walk the aqua carpet and see the premiere of the newest P.O.T.C. movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. I'll give you some thoughts, spoiler free of course!
We find our intrepid Captain Sparrow on the run (can't he ever catch a break?!) from his old nemesis Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his band of deadly ghost pirates, not only do they want to put an end to our favorite Captain, they want to lay waste to every pirate at sea!
Jack's only hope is to find the powerful artifact the Trident of Poseidon, the artifact will grant total control of the seas. Will Jack get the trident? What will Barbossa do? Will someone finally keep the monkey away from the explosives?! What about Will Turner?Was that Paul McCartney?! These questions will be answered on the 26th, like I said no spoilers!
I enjoyed the movie, I've grown close to these characters over the past 14 years and I'm glad to see this franchise return to form again. We get everything from funny lines to crazy stunts, wonderful effects, and a great way to kick off the summer blockbusters. This movie provides you with some great moments and the visuals are simply stunning. Each character seems to have his or her own interesting thing going on in the movie and it was neat to see the filmmakers explore those things. And don't worry there are surprises that will well surprise you!
This is a character driven movie, Johnny Depp is awesome as Jack Sparrow, it comes so naturally to him, it's like Jack is really an extension of Johnny. Javier Bardem and Geoffrey Rush are their usual brilliant selves. And newcomers Brenton Thwaites (Henry Turner) and Kaya Scodelario (Carina Smyth) are a nice addition to the pirate's universe. This is a movie more in the mold of the Black Pearl, it had that same amount of fun and whimsey and doesn't take itself too seriously. What a great way to kick off the summer movie season!
