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.

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

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. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

BadWulf Dec 31 Great movie must see See more Dahiana M @dahi_martinez Dec 15 Creo que fue mejor a la anterior, aún así creo que le faltó mucho para estar al nivel de las primeras tres. La película en general me resultó entretenida aunque hubo algunas escenas donde el CGI se vio súper falso. Barbossa, como duele tu perdida. See more Yaaron R @KompetenterMedi Dec 14 Adrift on Empty Seas Dead Men Tell No Tales attempts to recapture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean series but fails at almost every turn. Salazar’s cursed crew and the Silent Mary are visually distinct yet lack menace, while flashy CGI moments, including a young Jack Sparrow flashback, feel artificial and hollow. Javier Bardem brings occasional gravitas as Salazar, but his character is underwritten and inconsistent, and the film’s action and emotional beats are rushed or unearned. Attempts at suspense and charm collapse under recycled tropes and spectacle-heavy sequences. Ultimately, the film mimics a Pirates adventure in shape but loses all of the soul that once made the franchise memorable. See more Tyler S @tylerking24 Dec 6 I'm sorry man, but this franchise just fell off. In my opinion, as the films went on, they just got worse. The only exception is that this film was a little better than the last. The two films post At World's End are just so unnecessary, and very interesting. Felt like they added so much here just for fan service. Also it was fairly predictable with some characters just making no sense. And yes, none of the characters were interesting. And it's not like Jack Sparrow improved cause there was nothing to improve. He was just his usual charm that boosted my rating. I'm sure I'll forget about this one pretty quick. See more Domenic D Nov 15 The critics are blow hards. This movie while not amazing was worth the watch. See more James E Nov 5 A great fall from the heights of the previous films. Apart from a cool looking villain, this doesn’t have much to offer. See more Read all reviews
