Adventure. Fantasy. Action. Comedy Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea...including him. Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.

	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is nowhere near bold enough to think it can dispense with its aging protagonist (...) The character's loopy novelty has faded"	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise steers off-course in this drab fifth entry (...) A mercenary, visually unappealing exercise in brand maintenance"	NEG
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"[It] has its rocky moments but also offers an engaging tale with family legacies, above-average swashbuckling and a fantastic new villain courtesy of Javier Bardem (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"The world didn't need a fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. 'Dead Men Tell No Tales' doesn't quite measure up to the gloriously gonzo original trilogy. But it still makes its mark as a relatively grounded adventure"	NEU
United States	Michael Nordine IndieWire	"It's nothing new, but the series' central charm returns to shore intact (...) Amid the usual overblown set-pieces, the co-directors find time for a few grace notes"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Its pleasures are so meager, its delight in its own inventions so forced and false, that it becomes almost the perfect opposite of entertainment."	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The story feels less like a coherent chain of events than a bundle of obligatory subplots (...) A mostly fun partial reset, but this series needs to slip its moorings and make for new horizons (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"There are a few new faces but not many new ideas in the fifth instalment of the increasingly becalmed Disney franchise (…) A very easy paycheque (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Jack now feels like a routine rather than a person (...) Its story might cover all the same beats as the 2003 original, but there’s little of that film’s spark or spirit (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"[It] manages to put a bit of wind back in the sails; though not enough to return the franchise to its swashbuckling best (...) Depp still seems to be struggling to recapture Jack Sparrow’s twinkle"	NEU
United Kingdom	Chris Hunneysett Mirror	"The troubled star sees his career sink with a tired performance but Brit actress Kaya Scodelario keeps the film afloat (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Bloated, boring, repetitive, draining. (..) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
