I skipped the whole franchise because the franchising was getting on my nerves right from the start. Whenever everyone starts trying to convince me that something is amazing, I shy away from it. And I never was in the mood to see a pirate movie until recently. So I gave it a chance.

That's what I think (not that it would bother anyone anymore so many years later)

a simple damsel in distress story, although the damsel knows how to help herself, actually she is more productive than the rest of the "heroes" - Jack Sparrow is completely exaggerated and silly










All in all it is standard popcorn cinema stretched out to the max. Nothing new here, nothing special. No real adventure as everything is predictable, situations change back and forth, back and forth. I hope the later parts get better.
