Reviews
Salazar's Revenge

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is undoubtedly one of my favorite franchises. The original trilogy had its own special atmosphere and every new part from the director Gore Verbinski could surprise with something new. Of course, the degree of madness increased every time, but I was only for, because it makes the "Pirates" unique. After the departure of Verbinski, the franchise turned a little wrong and "On Stranger Tides" came out a little more dull, but my love for this saga does not give to name this part completely unsuccessful. Naturally, the expectations for the fifth film were great - whether the franchise finally got on the right track or something again prevented?

"The dead do not tell tales" (or - "Revenge of Salazar") introduces us to a certain captain who wants to exterminate all pirates. However, after one battle with the notorious Jack Sparrow, he loses his familiar human form and becomes a real dead man. Together with his own, now ghostly, team, he decides to take revenge on Jack. In parallel, we get to know one young couple who want to find one artifact - the trident of Poseidon and Jack decides to help them, because it can also stop his opponent.

And in fact, this tape left me after watching some ambiguous feelings. The pace of narration is very fast. Literally, from the first minutes, a lot of events are being dumped on us, which must be digested. However, this is quite difficult, because already in the next moment something else is happening, and then something else and so almost without stopping. There is a significant difference from the fourth part, which was slower and not always interesting. In this same part, the creators are hurrying somewhere in earnest. Of course, this contributes to the fact that it is more difficult to get bored, but on the other hand we would like more quiet scenes with heroes to better learn new ones and to remember old ones well - we need a balance that is not here. But in the original trilogy there was a break between the basic madness. There is almost no such thing and by the end of this non-stop action a little annoying ...

What I still caught my eye was the presence of a strange artifact, which even more transforms what is happening in mush. The trident of Poseidon has very strange properties and it is very strange that in the previous films he did not play any role - he still looks important in this universe. The compass of Jack in this film also found some incomprehensible "abilities" and something did not clear to me why he became so important here. So very strange artifacts here, it would be better if they were not here ...

By the way, stupidities and simply unnecessary moments are also enough. Mismatches with the predecessors are also in place (the same compass can be attributed to them), but this does not long to dwell ...

Jack Sparrow already noticeably lost his former form, and Johnny Depp in places is too kinked - he even really did not show his strength and did not fight anyone. However, it was nice to see him again on the big screen, plus: sometimes he successfully jokes. But it is not very much and a lot and in places creates the feeling that he is no longer the main character. His new opponent, Salazar has a good motivation and in some places it may seem that he is on the side of good, but he often contradicts his principles, and Javier Bardem in places overacts. But Jeffrey Rush was as always good and his hero is connected with some surprises, and this new young couple (Brenton Tuets and Kaya Skodelario) came out quite good. And Orlando Bloom and someone else was also very nice to see again (like Jack's team from the previous parts).

Despite all the jambs, this part in spirit strongly resembles the first three films (which could not be said about "On Stranger Tides"). Madness and fun from the movies Mount Verbinski is felt here more than ever, in other words: these are the real "Pirates of the Caribbean" and this can not but rejoice. In addition, the story, despite some stupidities and strange artifacts (which personify the lazy part of the film), sometimes brings surprises and in the film there is even a semblance of a plot twist. Trailers, although they showed a lot, but not all the secrets were revealed, so that you will still be amazed!

In the end, I will once again say - "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" (still a long name) causes some conflicting feelings. Again we have two sides of the coin - this time on one too fast, chaotic pace, strange artifacts, plot nonsenses and characters, some of which are no longer in shape, but on the other hand this film is saturated with the necessary atmosphere of insanity, the story sometimes surprises, yes and it's simply nice to see old friends again, with whom I spent enough time reviewing these merry films. So decide for yourself, but if you are a fan of "Pirates", then you probably should go for anyone to at least look again at your favorite characters on the big screen. For the rest - remember, this places a stupid and strange blockbuster, from which however you can get your share of fun ...
