The most recent Pirates of the Caribbean offering posted the lowest box office since 2003 but was actually one of the better entries in Captain Jack's can(n)on. Wisely moving away from On Stranger Tides and into fresh waters entirely, Dead Men Tell No Tales makes another astute creative change by introducing younger blood in the form of Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario. And it's difficult to go wrong with Javier Bardem on villain duty. Aside from an improved cast that brings back familiar faces without relying on them, this fifth voyage feels lighter both in terms of content and tone, making use of a streamlined plot and a return to the spirit of old. However, like The Force Awakens to 1977's Star Wars, Dead Men Tell No Tales sometimes veers too close to the original's format and risks feeling derivative. [links]

Sequels are always a tricky business, and it's hard to argue that Dead Man's Chest is an improvement upon The Curse of the Black Pearl with a straight face. Splitting up the core cast means every main character has their own distinct motivations, which in turn makes for a more complicated plot within a movie that was already going "bigger" in terms of visuals and action sequences. While nowhere near as disjointed as the subsequent 2 efforts would be, Dead Man's Chest does at times feel like a movie studio realizing the value of Pirates of the Caribbean and trying to angle for further installments instead of delivering the direct-to-the-veins shot of pirate goodness that was The Curse of the Black Pearl. Had Dead Man's Chest included the rescue of Captain Jack as a finale instead of aiming for a cliffhanger, the sequel might've really been onto something. [links]

It would be a stretch to suggest that Dead Men Tell No Tales breathes new life into Pirates of the Caribbean, but it at least throws out a lifeline that steadies the franchise's rapidly diminishing returns. Disney might've hoped that Thwaites and Scodelario would lead a Depp-free future for Pirates of the Caribbean, but the studio's lack of urgency in making a follow-up proves such ideas were overly-optimistic. The rumored casting of Karen Gillan as a brand new protagonist hints at yet another change of direction when Pirates of the Caribbean sails once again. [links]

By some distance, the very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie remains the one to beat and an archetype for modern franchise-building blockbusters. The Curse of the Black Pearl represented pirates on a previously unseen cinematic scale and the combination of action, humor and colorful characters ensured near-universal appeal. The visuals are stunning and although later installments would make use of improved CGI, The Curse of the Black Pearl doesn't let the sights, sounds and explosions get in the way of good characters. Free from the burden of expectation, Pirates of the Caribbean was also a (slightly) more grounded experience in 2003, introducing touches of mystical sea lore rather than huge swathes of it.

Pirates of the Caribbean might've changed the game at the box office, but has weathered stormier seas critically, with fan reaction and reviews varying wildly across the series. As a result, a general consensus on the franchise's trajectory has developed over time that audiences and critics generally agree upon. This is our ranking of the 5 Pirates of the Caribbean movies from worst to best. more

That being said, At World's End still manages a few surprises, and the ending does pay off much of what has gone before, and even though the "love" between Elizabeth and Will seems almost non-existent, a key scene at the end on a beach does manage to be effective. The actors also generally deliver once again. Johnny Depp is entertaining as ever as Jack Sparrow, although he finds the screen time a bit split amongst the various other characters this outing. Depp seems to be having a good time in the role, and it's hard to not understand his public statements that he would be willing to go more rounds as the character. Rush is also effective as Barbossa and Keira Knightley shows a bit more energy than in the last entry, as does Orlando Bloom in the part of Will.

First and easiest is Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) who, after five films' worth of curses, debts and narrow escapes, is, at the end of Salazar's Revenge, alive, well and in control of the Black Pearl. He's sailing off on new adventures with trusty first mate Gibbs (Kevin McNally).

Disney has even been laying the groundwork for it to be the final outing, with the trailers stating that it is "the final adventure". However, the word "final" can be taken with a massive pinch of salt when it comes to long-running franchises. [links]
