Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (Review Text)


Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth installment in the Pirates of The Caribbean Franchise.

This sequel was a continuation of the At World's End series which ended with the meeting of William Turner with his wife and child, Henry Turner. As shown in the previous trailers, Henry finally grew up and became a sailor.Unfortunately, the ship he was riding in entered a dangerous waters called the Devil Triangle. There, Armando Salazar and his men carry out a surprise attack and finish off all the soldiers easily.Then Salazar descended the stairs and found Jack Sparrow's wanted fliers. After learning that Henry knew Jack, Salazar left a message and just left. After escaping death, Henry traveled to trace the whereabouts of Jack Sparrow and Trisula Poseidon, the only hope of defeating Salazar.

You could say, this time the series again used the old formula, the actions of the pirates not only amaze you,but also will make you laughter. There're many silly events from the beginning of the story,its successed make the audience burst out laughing.

The Dead Men Tell No Tales comedy score also increased when the old extras returned, among them the most iconic was Jack (the Monkey), Marty(the dwarf ), two Mulroy-Murtogg soldiers and last but not least, Scrum (Blackbeard's former crew). The typical pirate chatter which sometimes means vulgar but in safe numbers often adorns the dialogues between them.

And as usual, the PoTC series uses a stunt scene that uses Jack Sparrow's lucky base as an armor plot. Although there are many scenes that feel completely coincidental, this does not affect the film's hilarity and even retains the characteristics of PoTC.

Although the level of violence of the film is still in a safe level, the author cautioned that there were scenes involving mutilated members of the human body even if it only lasted a few seconds. 

This series doesn't offer many new things.The number of different storyline and character patterns with the old series makes the Dead Men Tell No Tales story unable to give a meaningful plot twist. The factor of too many trailers also gave spoilers which canceled the audience's pleasure in taking the film's storyline.

Change of the story line focus was too quick to make its own plot seemed to be destroyed. Character change factors and number of unnecesary scenes also doesn't help to improve the quality of storyline. And of course it has an impact on the execution of the climax that seems less dramatic.

And the last thing is about  the lack of deepening of relationships between characters, especially fathers and children like Will and Henry. There are a number of things that do feel awkward because there are not many explanations that are implied also expressed about the reason each character acts, including why Barbossa turn out to be a person who is far from our imagination.
