Critics' reviews

"You won’t find hotter action, wilder thrills or loopier laughs this summer (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"[It] lacks the magic of original (...) A noisy and lazy stopgap movie that goes absolutely nowhere and takes 2 ½ hours to get there."

Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"It batters you with novelty and works so hard to top itself that exhaustion sets in long before the second hour is over."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"More so-so than yo-ho (...) The barnacled bad guys who menace Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are more comical than threatening. But Depp is amusing (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Kyle Smith: New York Post
"This 'Pirates' is closer to Peter Jackson’s 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, with similar mixed reactions of frustration and delight as the end credits roll"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
"I was worn down by the excess (...) Too much violence, pop nihilism, and sick humor. But the Disney logo at the beginning is neat"

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"[Depp] is the primary reason the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' franchise holds any interest, yet the filmmakers seem to be under the impression that the dead-eyed likes of Bloom and Knightley are an equal draw"

Scott Tobias: AV Club
