Quite honestly, there just is not a whole lot to say about the new Pirates of the Caribbean film, the franchise's fifth entry. Dubbed Dead Men Tell No Tales, this all feels like "second-verse-same-as-the-first" with Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow, a few cameos popping up from previous films, and a mashup of previous characters and new ones. Largely, we have a fifth film because the fourth film, 2011's On Stranger Tides, may have grossed $180 million less in North America than the biggest success in the series thus far, 2006's Dead Man's Chest, but cleared more than $1 billion worldwide. Disney has financed the film for more than $230 million, so clearly they want all the money. But, like...is there still an audience for this? …show more content…
and DC Comics. They nabbed the directing duo of Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, who steered their ambitious, modestly budgeted, water-bound film, Kon-Tiki, to a Foreign Language Film Oscar nomination in 2012. Here, the directors band together with Jeff Nathanson's screenplay and give us a drunker and more useless Jack Sparrow (Depp), whose schtick is wearing thin. The joy and humor Depp brought to the role has long since dissipated and all he does for two-plus hours is play an obnoxious, dim-witted drunk, who seems more in the way than
The Sea of Monsters received almost positive reviews of every reader because its appropriate phasing of the storyline, the creative of the themes, and the author's style of writing.

Albert Camus creates a series of characters in The Stranger whose personality traits and motivations mirror those that are overlooked by the average man. Camus develops various characters and scenarios that are considered rude and unpleasant, but because it has become common, society accepts it as norms.

From the article about the flop of Justice League, I learned an interesting trend regarding the movie industry. Despite financial successes of widely negatively criticized films from DC Comics such as Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad, it is clear that the reputation of a superhero film despite it being action-packed matters largely. This is evident from the worldwide success of Wonder Woman. This exhaustively repeated strategy of capitalizing on the popularity of a sequel name is starting to bore the fans. The quality of the directing and storytelling matters more than spending all-in just to get the entire crew of famous superheroes. So hopefully, the planned expensive remakes and "sequels" of the big names for 2018 would be the last,
Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film of Pirates. The whole movie was about Pirates, their lifestyle such as stealing a boat from other people which were shown in the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole a boat from the British people. Other fascinating facts which I found about pirates were shown in the movie when they showed a couple of punishments for pirates who committed crimes and of course the myth of mermaids which for me was inaccurate. This movie was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski.

Their common claim is that, Captain Phillips is just an ordinary thriller movie, Ed Whitfield says that “captain Phillips, does not have an absorbing tale to tell” (Whitfield). He describes the movie as being meaty and immensely raw (Whitfield). The critic argues that the movie is just an ordinary thriller, with components like those in other thriller movies, “an armed siege, a game of cat and mouse” (Whitfield).
While the acting is effervescent and the camerawork assertive, the plot stays a few holes below Soderbergh’s remake of “Ocean’s Eleven”. However, one can sense his passion when dabbling in this particular genre, even if I dig better his low-budgeted, art-house independent inventions.
