Pirates five, people! Are you ready for more Jack Sparrow? I don’t know about you, but I’m always ready for more Jack Sparrow! I got the opportunity to go to the press screening of Pirates the other day and it’s a wonderful day to kick off the summer!
Directed by the team behind “Kon Tiki,” Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, the film is exciting and breath-taking. Written by Jeff Nathanson it’s starts kind of surprising with the choices of our favorite pirate character. It was a little worrisome, but it’s explained and understandable (trying so hard not to spoil).
The cast the incredible – and not just because they’re incredible actors, the choices they made are incredible. Johnny Depp gives his familiar Sparrow performance, and of course, does not disappoint. Geoffrey Rush’s Barbosa is probably the most surprising. The character arch seems as if it’s usual and then…. I just can’t say. I believe the most satisfying character was Javier Bardem’s Salazar, frightening and sad – you feel his pain, but are scared of his presence. Brenton Thwaites (Henry Turner) and Kaya Scodelario (Carina Smith) are the star-crossed lovers this time around. Although their relationship is sweet I felt more drawn to Carina and understood her, than I did Henry – but that could just be me.
The effects, again, are the usual Pirates flair. Practical and computer generated, I’ll be surprised if there isn’t a nomination for them. Those, working in unison with Paul Cameron’s camera work, is so exciting and makes for some edge of your seat viewing. Fight scenes and chase scene are just unbelievable.
One word of warning I will say, this Pirates is much more violent than the previous ones. I was rather surprised by the violence and would recommend viewing it once to determine whether your little pirate or lass is old enough to watch it.
All in all – go watch “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales!” It’s a summer pirates movie, and those are always fun, and that’s what this is – fun. Lastly, I do gotta say, say until after the credits, there’s one last scene at the very end!
