I generally like the first film in the series which, while a bit overlong, is a fun popcorn flick that few people seem to want to make anymore. ![]() It almost gets everything I like about the series right, and I must admit a certain affinity while watching it, but once you leave the theatre it will dawn on you that what you just saw wasn’t all that great.Īt this point, I would normally get into the plot of the film, but instead I feel the need to take a detour to explain my thoughts on the other films in the series for my threadbare defence of this film to make any sense. Which is why to some degree it pains me to give the latest entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise a modestly negative review. There are plenty of really bad films that are fun to watch, but that doesn’t make them good films. I cannot give a film a pass simply because it is fun to watch.
