Saw Pirates of the Caribbean 5 yesterday (Dead Men Tell No Tales)
It's not bad though imho it might have profited from shortening it by half an hour (the too literal bank robbery was too long, as were the many fighting scenes. The CGI were very good, though. J. Depp was disappointing. I understand that he had quite a lot of influence on the script as far as his character was concerned and that resulted in Cpt Sparrow being rather out of character for half the movie. Only in the second half, Depp appears to have found his sea-legs.
Geoffrey Rush, on the other hand, was even better than in the previous movies and visibly enjoyed showing a few new facets of Cpt Barbosa's character.
On the whole, on a scale from 1 to 10 I'd rate the movie as a 6-7. Nice entertainment but not really a must-see.
