http://collider.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-5-synopsis-title/

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil?s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea?including him. Captain Jack?s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.
johnny-depp-pirates-of-the-caribbean-5As noted above, Javier Bardem plays the film?s villain, and he?s joined in the cast by Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner), Brenton Thwaites (The Giver), and Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone), with Geoffrey Rush, Kevin R. McNally, and Stephen Graham reprising their roles as Barbossa, Gibbs, and Scrum. The script was penned by Jeff Nathanson (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Catch Me If You Can), making this the first Pirates film without writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.

Would have preferred Christoph Walz over Bardem(that was the plan before delays due to script rewrites) but as long as I get my ****ing Barbossa...I'm in.

Since I thought the last one was absolutely terrible, it can only go up from there.
 
HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2 Review
http://collider.com/hot-tub-time-machine-2-review/

Five years ago, the first Hot Tub Time Machine bombed at the box office but became a sleeper hit on cable and home video. The film explored something most every 30-something has thought about: what would you change if you could relive your youth again? It was an over-the-top, raunchy film grounded by relaxed straight-man John Cusack and the always-cool Lizza Caplan. Cusack declined to appear in Hot Tub Time Machine 2, leaving a gaping, substantial hole in the cast. What we’re left with are three insufferable creeps and Adam Scott, who plays Cusack’s future son and the butt of every joke in the film.

While the first movie had a layer of drama and charm alongside its raunchiness, this one is just crude and vapid. It has nothing to offer but three jerks going to the future and being jerks. When they can’t drop a pop culture reference (which they do relentlessly) they say “****.” When they can’t insert a dick joke they say “****.” It’s lowest common denominator humor at its most painfully uncreative. Unless you’re wicked into gay-panic jokes and watching a litany of kaleidoscopic party montages set to hip-hop (there are at least four in the film). Then, by all means, run to theaters.

someone sounds like this ain't there type of movie. I ain't putting too much faith in this review.
 
Review: Shockingly, 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' is very dirty and very silly

Thankfully, that's just one sequence, and "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" employs a sort of shotgun blast approach to comedy. They throw so many jokes at the audience that it almost doesn't matter that a good half of them fall flat. The hardest I laughed in the entire film was at one throwaway gag during the closing credits, which is not me trying to damn them with faint praise, but rather a way of saying that they keep trying right to the very end of things. Adam Scott makes a nice addition to the ensemble, and I'm down for anything that gives Clark Duke more to do onscreen. Robinson scores some pretty big laughs as well, and Kumail Nanjiani and Jason Jones both impress in key supporting roles. It's a funny cast. There are some very funny runs of jokes. I remember being irritated by the first movie because it felt like it was too hobbled by trying to tell a "real" story, and also slavish about making '80s movie jokes. Here, they seem freer to just let it rip.
