They can never go back

This is the third consecutive import splitting blockbuster in May. It is also the one with the highest investment and the best audience base, but it may not be the most surprising one. In fact, the so-called high investment is also relative. The investment in the third part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is 300 million U.S. dollars, and Disney has compressed it to 200 million U.S. dollars in the fourth part, and it also paid 50 million U.S. dollars to the star Johnny Depp. The sky-high remuneration, so it is an inevitable choice to add water to the content. So we saw that the pirates became the Marine Corps here, because shooting naval battles is very expensive, so they use marine battles to solve their opponents. Even if it is a land battle, there is no decent scene in the whole story, and the special effects shots are greatly compressed. In fact, in terms of visual effects, this is no longer a summer blockbuster in the traditional sense. It can only be regarded as a medium-to-high investment scale movie, except that Depp starred in it.
In fact, it is not these external things that are the most damaged, but the more serious internal injuries. Depp’s high pay has led to a shrinking cast, and there is no male second (equivalent to the role played by Orlando Bloom in the first three movies). This can only make Captain Jack’s behavior and behavior from the beginning. The motivation is fully exposed, and the story clues and emotional pattern are weakened. In the first three parts, the cuteness of Depp’s character lies in the fact that his dragon sees the head and the tail and is both good and evil, and these characteristics are fully manifested under the background of the relatively straightforward male number two. Now The mystery of this character is gone, everything is done by himself, the ghost of the dark night has become a bright angel, and Captain Jack is no longer fun. Originally saw the fourth part, the freshness is gone, the routines for playing cards are already clear to the chest, like the little tricks at the end about the mermaid's tears, can anyone deceive anyone? Although Jack's ability and luck have been over-amplified, and although Depp is still desperately selling cute, this is indeed not the former Captain Jack Pistachio. However, it was successful to switch the heroine from Keira Knightley to Penelope Cruz Sea. Although Cruz was restricted due to being pregnant during filming, she felt that her wild nature was more in line with the overall temperament of the film. English with a Latin accent is also very sexy.
As the director Rob Marshall who once made the best Oscar film "Chicago", it can be said that he took over the mess left by the former director Gore Wibinski. From the perspective of the effect of the film, he also tried his best, except The one-on-one relationship line is a bit procrastinated, and I still use my mind to grasp the main line narrative. From the beginning of the film to the London section until Jack gets on the Anne's Revenge, the clues are very clear, and the appearance of each character is also very interesting. , Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack is also very surging (the soundtrack is almost the only audio-visual element that has been upgraded in the fourth part). In comparison, I prefer the paving part in the front, and the plot expansion part in the back and no climax. The climax paragraph of the movie, there is nothing that should be done, and the film has been exhausted. Even the mermaid who has a glimpse of the mermaid has only achieved a bloody love in the end.
It should be said that "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been regressing since the second film. The audience never experienced the kind of surprise when they first came into contact with this movie. Those ugly but energetic skeleton warriors were so memorable. According to the end of the film, this story will continue. The people in the play may return to the Black Pearl to start a new adventure, but the creators and creators of this film will never return to the fierceness of the year. .
