My first reaction upon finding out there was a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie coming out: "They're still making those movies?" I gave up watching after the second film, one look at Google telling me my "Pirates" Post-Mortem was 2006's "Dead Men's Chest," but these films still make a ton of money and there seems to be demand for it. The first film was perfectly fine for what it was, it got Johnny Depp a well deserved Oscar-nomination for his role as Jack Sparrow, a playful riff on the question "How would Keith Richards look as a Pirate?"
The bad guy in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tale No Tells" is played by Javier Bardem, a great actor, and, as far as casting choices go, this one ain't bad.
IMDB has the synopsis as follows:
"Captain Jack Sparrow is pursued by an old rival, Captain Salazar, who along with his crew of ghost pirates has escaped from the Devil's Triangle, and is determined to kill every pirate at sea. Jack seeks the Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that grants its possessor total control over the seas, in order to defeat Salazar."
Is anyone that reads this site seriously excited by this?
