‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ Review: Lost at Sea
http://collider.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-dead-men-tell-no-tales-review/#poster


The reviews are all pretty similar, sadly. I am going to see it Friday with rapidly diminishing hopes. I know I sound like an apologist, but I do think there is a built in dislike for these movies and I can't help but think that the Anti-Depp agenda might be exacerbating things a bit.

Oversaturation will do that, unless your movie is called "The Fast and the Furious."

or the next stupid marvel movie

or the next stupid star wars movie

The Pirates franchise, outside of the first...maybe, has never been a critical fave. But I saw an article condemning Pirates while making an argument for the entertainment value of the Transformers, for ****s sake. Transformers...

I have to choose between Pirates and Baywatch in my fantasy league this week. What to do, what to do.

I'm going to Baywatch saturday night, but I'm leaning on the masses hitting Pirates..

I think Baywatch may win out. But pg-13 versus R may ultimately decide.

The Baywatch movie is rated R? :think:

If there will be nip slips and the like, I might reconsider watching it. mhihi: :manybeers:

I haven't seen any of the Pirates movies and I am not gonna start now. I am not hating though, since I paid to watch the Transformers, so I am not in a place to talk. :P

Ye gods, all they would have had to do was release the new Transformers at the same time and we would have had the Crapocalypse. Well, and have the Ducks in the Final.

So glad I am leaving town.

Friday Box Office: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ Takes the Lead
http://collider.com/friday-box-office-pirates-of-the-caribbean-5/#images

Though he is not by any measure the sole problem with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Johnny Depp‘s myriad appearances in the film are easily the most dismaying. He is, after all, playing the main reason that people are showing up for the movie, which is currently standing atop the Friday box office with an estimated $16 million following $5.5 million from Thursday screenings for a $21.5 million total. If the notorious star of this bloated franchise had turned his back, the movie might not have been made – best case scenario – or the movie might have been a more budgeted, inventive adventure movie in the mode of directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg‘s last film, Kon-Tiki, which was much less reliant on star power. This is not to smear the name of Javier Bardem – the film’s sole highlight – but if Jack Sparrow wasn’t in the movie, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean would not have been expected to be a box office hit in the hopes of recouping its ludicrous $230 million budget. Such is the illogical and pestering reasoning behind modern franchise viewership in America.

yeah this sounds like someone who didn't go in hating this movie without seeing it...not.
