What the hell is this film about? Assuming its setting us up for the next installment, then its done its job well. There were so many sub plots, introducing new characters merely for the sake of it making the plot convoluted and difficult to follow. Having said all that aesthetically its visually stunning. It's everything you expect from this franchise (and possibly more), with CGI in nearly every scene. All the characters are played well with probably Depp as the standout (even if he looked bored with his character). All in all it's still worth a gander at, even if its baiting you for the third.
