Tell me why release date download1/5/2024 Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario are vastly inferior to Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, they lack presence and come over as bland and dare one say deadweight. There is also a very bizarre exchange with Depp and Paul McCartney (whose presence is rather jarring). The script has some droll and witty quips every now and again, but mostly it is very weak with far too much of a rambling, improvisatory and random feel, it just doesn't feel that well structured. It is very thin for the running time and feels overstretched and bloated, giving the impression the film is too long. It takes a while to get going and there are some real pacing problems in the final act, which has its good points but generally is very tedious. It is easy to say forget the story, however this is a strong case of being very hard to do so when there is so little to it. It is a decent and fun enough ride, but it could have been so much more and has some glaring flaws. Personally am on the fence with 'Salazar's Revenge' and consider it one of the weaker entries generally of the series, with only 'At World's End' being weaker. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge' has its defenders but has also been met with underwhelmed disappointment by critics and most fans. They all have great merits, namely great visuals, exciting action, Hans Zimmer's music, Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Bill Nighy. They have their flaws, 'Dead Man's Chest' did get too frenetic sometimes, 'At World's End' was overlong, bloated and needlessly bloated and 'On Stranger Tides' (which has been dumped upon by many here but to me it was a very enjoyable film, one of the better sequels, and much better than given credit for, which is not going to be a popular opinion) had an underdeveloped and forced romantic subplot and too much filler that could have been trimmed in some places. Its sequels are not on the same level, and while they are a long way from flawless none of them are awful films either. The best film in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise will always be the first, which is still a terrific film fourteen years later (has it really been that long, feels like only yesterday when first seeing it when it first came out).
