Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it, he must forge an uneasy alliance with a brilliant and beautiful astronomer and a headstrong young man in the British navy.

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.

As lumbering as its title, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will leave you running for the plank, or the exit.

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.

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

Deep Focus Review

This is an unnecessary film that delivers exactly what the audience expects in the most uninteresting ways.

Rated: 2/4

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

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.

This should have been the follow up to the original trilogy with a story that has connections to the old but builds a solid new entry. A lot of fan service that’s pretty cheesy but feels like the natural next steps for the franchise & works mostly well. It definitely has flaws but it’s surprisingly decent with fun moments. But the story is full of recycled plot points from the earlier films. Half & half on the visuals looking amazing & looking obviously green-screened, yet Bardem’s design is wildly cool.

pirates of the Caribbean dead man tell no tales set the final adventure and pirates of the Caribbean dead man tell no tales is a really good movie that really tells the story about William trying to free his father from Captain Armando Salaza curse and we get a backstory and we see a young Jack sparrow and you find out what happened to Captain Armando Salazar and his crew and Pirates of the Caribbean dead man tell no tales has a shocking reveal to where you find out Captain Barbossa's had a daughter name Carina Smyth who is in the whole movie

Again, I like the world building and the myths. Again, the excessive goofiness is present in so many scenes. The ending ups it half a star regardless.

One of the quicker paced stories within the franchise, with an excellent villain and Jack Sparrow at his most bumbling. Has an overtly comical tone at times but the mature violence and action set pieces more than make up for it. A welcomed change from Stranger Tides. The viewers score is more accurate than the critics score as usual.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
