Happy to see the return of old friends, but after this episode it can really end

(B+) To be fair, I think this episode can actually be ranked third, only in the first two episodes. The fourth episode did make me feel exhausted, but fortunately, after more than five years this time, I was actually quite excited to see the return of the original team.

After reading it twice, I like it. The reason is that it is absolutely entertaining, and the visual effects are still very good, especially the 3D version. The ghosts of death are quite lively and interesting. I think the fifth episode actually maintained the advantages of this series, added new characters, and brought back almost all the old characters. If you are a fan of this series, you will definitely not be disappointed. Especially Captain Jack, his charm is still the same as that of the past, he is still motherly and cheap, quirky, and Depp is not old at all.

As for whether it is necessary to film this episode, apart from Depp's urgent need for money to ease the financial crisis, I think it is actually necessary for the audience. First, we had the opportunity to see the story of Captain Jack when he was young, but Depp's young version of dermabrasion was too serious and had no beard and chest hair, which was a bit exaggerated; second, we had the opportunity to see the little fresh meat Brenton Thwaites. If Blossom and Knightley really had a child, they should have grown up like this. Brenton did look a lot like the two of them, but he actually looked more like Knightley's younger brother. Thirdly, we have the opportunity to see the Black Pearl sailing again; fourthly, we can know the ending of Orlando Bloom's role and feel at ease.

However, I think the shortcoming of the film is that it seems to repeat old topics such as "dead souls" and "curses". The Ghost Legion trick has been used before. . . Think about it except to give Captain Jack the whole son or daughter next time, there is really no way to make up. So if I stop here, I'm also satisfied.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales quotes

  • Henry: [whispers into a jail cell] I need to speak with you.

    Captain Jack Sparrow: [attacks Henry from behind, holding him against the cell door] Hand me your sword.

    Henry: I don't have a sword.

    Captain Jack Sparrow: What kind of soldier has no weapon?

    Henry: I'm currently wanted for treason.

    Captain Jack Sparrow: So not the very good kind then?

    Henry: I'm looking for a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow?

    Captain Jack Sparrow: [let's go of Henry] Well today's your lucky day. Because I just happen to be Captain Jack Sparrow.

    Henry: [in disbelief] No, it can't be. I've spent years searching for... this. The great Jack Sparrow is not some drunk in a cell. Do you even have a ship? A crew... pants?

    Captain Jack Sparrow: A great pirate does not require such intricacies.

    Henry: Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? The risks I've taken to be here? Are you sure you're *the* Jack Sparrow?

    Captain Jack Sparrow: The real question is, who are you?

  • Henry: [Henry has just been rescued by the Flying Dutchman after attempting to drown himself to gain his father's attention]

    [sees a shadowy figure approach]

    Henry: Father?

    Will Turner: Henry. What have you done?

    Henry: I said I'd find you.

    Will Turner: Look at me, son.

    [half of Will's face and body are covered in barnacles]

    Henry: I don't care.

    Will Turner: There's no place for you on the Dutchman.

    [the Dutchman's crew can be heard in the background]

    Will Turner: They know you're here. Get home to your mother.

    Henry: No!

    Will Turner: Leave now. Before it's too late.

    Henry: I won't. I'll never stop. And if you throw me over, I'll come straight back.

    Will Turner: Don't you see I'm cursed to this ship?

    Henry: That's why I'm here. I think I know a way to break your curse. To free you from the Dutchman.

    Will Turner: Henry, no.

    Henry: I've read about a treasure. A treasure that holds all the power of the sea. The Trident of Poseidon can break your curse.

    Will Turner: [kneels down to hug Henry] Henry, the trident can never be found.

    Henry: I found you.

    Will Turner: It's just a tale.

    Henry: Like the tales of you and Captain Jack Sparrow? He will help me find the trident.

    Will Turner: You stay away from Jack! Leave the sea forever. You have to stop acting like a...

    Henry: A pirate? I won't stop. I want you to come home.

    Will Turner: [the Dutchman starts sinking back into the sea] Henry. I'm sorry. My curse will never be broken.

    [takes off his necklace]

    Will Turner: This is my fate.

    [places the necklace in Henry's hands]
