What to Know

Critics Consensus

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales proves that neither a change in directors nor an undead Javier Bardem is enough to drain this sinking franchise's murky bilge.

Kristen Lopez Culturess As lumbering as its title, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will leave you running for the plank, or the exit. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Angie Han Mashable Oh, if only dead men told no tales. Then we might have avoided this fifth Pirates of the Caribbean adventure, which fails to justify its own existence in any way whatsoever. Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times There are lame, crude jokes about bottoms and horologists. There is $230 million of CG effects that never look like anything more than pixels. And then there's Depp's panto drunkenness. Rated: 2/5 Jun 6, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This is an unnecessary film that delivers exactly what the audience expects in the most uninteresting ways. Rated: 2/4 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tells No Tales is not a great film by any means. It is a passable finale to a franchise that has lasted longer than anyone ever anticipated. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Curnblog Judge it accordingly, I suppose. The newest Pirates film isn't all that great, but it is enjoyable. If this series be your fancy, sail away. If not, stay at the dock. After all, dead-bored movie watchers tell no tales.

Gorptholemew T 🍀5.9/10 My name is Barbosa I mean better than Skywalker. A little too reliant on convenience, but still much more fast pace and entertaining then it’s predecessor. deadman tell No tails is an exceptional sequel that doesn’t really add anything new, but is entertaining enough to shred two hours of your life. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Christina A It's fun, but it lacks the charm of the first films. Also, something happened to Jack. It feels he lost his charm in this film as well. Javier Bardem was a great addition and kept things interesting. Some of the arcs of the other legacy characters didn't feel natural, or maybe I'm just unsatisfied. But it's better than the 4th movie. It's not a necessary watch, but a decent one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Apoorv S they spoiled my boy jack Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Audience Member This film is the latest installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series and follows Henry, a soldier in the British navy and the son of Will Turner, as he embarks on a quest to find Jack Sparrow in order to save his father from his cursed fate. Along the way, they meet Carina, an accused witch and skilled astronomer who holds the key to finding the legendary Trident of Poseidon, which has the power to break all sea curses. However, Sparrow's old nemesis, Captain Salazar, is hot on their trail, seeking revenge, with the navy and Captain Barbosa also in pursuit. Together the trio must retrieve the trident, save Will, and stop Salazar and his ghastly army before they wipe out every pirate on the sea. Overall due to flat jokes, cringeworthy dialogue, a disjointed and at times incoherent story, and shoddy CGI and designs, this movie was not good , and lacks almost all of the charm found in its predecessors and although it has some redeeming qualities—such as Depps legendary returning performance as Jack Sparrow, an intriguing villain, and a few epic battles—these elements are far too few and far between to save this lackluster and unenjoyable picture from reaching the heights of the other entries in this franchise and ultimately suggests that we do not need any more features from this universe in the near future. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Samuel P not too good, not too bad. I liked the new Salazar guy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Jamie C this film is very underrated in my opinion. The movie does treat Jack Sparrow the worst of all the movies! But for the rest there are nice action scenes, great characters and a fun story. I can understand why some people don't think this movie is the best. But this movie is sometimes made out to be something it is not! It's certainly not as good as the first three movies, but I think it's a great movie!
