Meanwhile, the group is pursued by Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his ghostly army. Accordingly, Henry allies himself with Jack and astronomer Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario) in his quest to locate the Trident of Poseidon. The film isn’t nearly as imaginative as the first three installments, yet there is untapped potential for a compelling narrative.ĭead Men Tell No Tales follows Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), the son of Will (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), as he attempts to free his father from the Flying Dutchman’s curse. The fifth movie was released to dismal reviews and underperformed at the box office compared to previous sequels.
There are many problems with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, but at least it avoided the original script’s sin of ruining Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Barbossa’s (Geoffrey Rush) history.
