Pirates 5 as I give it 8/10.
Guardians Volume 2 lives up to the hype.I'm planning on seeing Pirates this weekend. Maybe Guardians 2.

My grade isn't as high but I watched the movie on an impossible high. Wonder Woman is a crowning jewel of DC on the big screen in my eyes. Superman had been done. Batman? Same thing. There was an essential piece missing for far too long, a piece equal in every way to those two DC legends and immeasureably greater than every other DC character outside their trio.I saw Wonder Woman instead. It was 12/10. I may have shed a manly tear at the symbolism.
Gotta agree with you friend!Man, the new releases have sucked for the last month+ (sorry I don't like Marvel comics and Wonder Woman)
Battle after endless battle. Countless severe physical exterior and interior trauma. Logan taxed his healing power far beyond his mutancy limitations. Who knows how old he would have lived if he hadn't devoted himself to defending those who needed his help? Centuries? Millennia?Just watched Logan. 10/10. Absolutely heartbreaking.

I thought it was a good visual conception of two demi-gods going at each other.Wonder Woman - 7 / 10 - I thought the first half of the movie was good, but than it started to go down hill. The last 1/2 hour was filled with way over the top CGI and ridiculous fight scenes that ruined everything that led up to it.
Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Men Tell No Tales - 5/10.
Should be called "Drunk Men Sell No Films" instead, as it's become apparent that Johnny Depp is going down the same road to ruin that Tiger Woods is driving down.
I have to agree with @ChldsPlay , everything is just, less. The storyline isn't up to standards of the original trilogy, but more on par with On Stranger Tides. The story is incredibly predictable, from where you know you're going to find Jack Sparrow, to the reveals that are anything but surprising. What little humor there is, is juvenile at best.
And every character, even those returning, are lesser than they've ever been. That goes for Depp more than anyone. He's certainly cashed it in and is more Dudley Moore's "Arthur" at this point, an amped-up, stumbling, drunken buffoon (art imitates life?)
If this isn't the least of the 5 films, it's tied for the spot.
I thought that was the point of Depp's portrayal in this one. Sparrow is down on his luck, his plans have been crashing and burning and he is wallowing in a bottle of rum because of it.
Maybe it was. If that was the intent, I found it confusing more than appealing.And two minutes after "the mutiny", the crew is back together again? Poor storytelling
Ugh, forgot to spoiler my response. Apologize to anyone who may have had part of the movie ruined.
I agree on the confusing part. It didn't really bother me too much watching the movie. It wasn't until I was driving home that it came to me that it was on maybe on purpose.
Yeah, the mutiny to forgiveness in the blink of an eye was a little tough to believe
