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 12/31/2024 Great movie must see See more Ammar K @Debugged Aug 29 The start is amazing, as with all the other movies, being the only reason I gave it more then half a star. A COMPLETE copy of the second and third movie, just different (in a bad way) in some aspects. Spanish Davy Jones can't touch land and is immortal unless you break a certain object, just like normal Davy Jones, and let's not pretend that he's "unique" and "his own character" because he's not. He's not Salazar. He's Spanish Davy Jones. The two new characters, Henry Turner and Annoying Woman, are extremely one dimensional and annoying. Henry has just two personality traits being "good guy, fight for what's right" and comedic relief. Annoying Woman is a bratty, self obsessed know-it-all that we're all supposed to love, and are we all just going to pretend that we haven't seen the "my father is NOT a pirate" plot before. Not only does it attempt to revive a dead plot point, but they make it so important, making Annoying even more annoying because she can't accept the truth. See more Frans B @FransB Aug 27 Deserves credit for the amazing set pieces and cinematography / digital effects. Might appeal to die hard Pirates of the Caribbean admirers. Writing and directing could be of higher standard. Whole cast convincing in character. Jack's wisecracks rouse the occasional smile. Fast paced, lots of action and dead men walking 😜 See more Harry H @Movies10 Aug 20 This one has my favorite action set pieces of the whole franchise. See more Conrad C @sosopoptart Aug 17 The movie has the air-brushed too-perfect feel of AI art, except in this case it's due to an over-reliance on green screens instead of real locations and backdrops. A lot of the staple Pirates of the Caribbean characters are missing, and those that are left don't feel like they used to. The new arrivals could have breathed some new life into the movie (maybe even the franchise) if they weren't so one-dimensional. See more Freedom T @RT19825376 Aug 14 just a fun time at the theaters best pirates movie since the 2nd one and while they get jack wrong here he is still very fun See more Read all reviews
