Why it's great

• Differently than the fourth film, this movie actually comes back to have an interesting and engaging story with Jack and Henry Turner trying to break the curse of Will.
• The humor is clever and funny
• The cast did a great performance, especially Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem.
• Jack and Henry have good chemistry, which reminds of Jack and Will in the first three movies.
• Jack Sparrow being depressed and drunk is both funny and heartbreaking.
• Henry Turner is a good character.
• Great soundtrack by Geoff Zanelli, a student of Hans Zimmer.
• Carina Smyth is a great character and a strong female protagonist, with Kaya Scodelario playing her perfectly.
• Salazar, despite being unsympathetic, is a good villain and Javier Bardem did a great job playing him.
• The action scenes are incredible
• The scene where the Black Pearl comes back is memorable and emotional.
• The special effects are outstanding
• The ending is heartwarming.
• It brings the franchise to the style of the first three movies.

Bad Qualities

• Carina is initially unlikable as she acts really mean towards Jack and is really disrespectful to him and Henry.

• Barbossa can be annoying at times before he reedems himself especially when he threatens to cut Jack's tongue.
