My Thoughts

I am a huge stalker fan of Johnny Depp, so I am always excited when he has a new movie come out. I've followed the Pirates of the Caribbean since the beginning, and Dead Men Tell No Tales is a great addition to the series.  In this movie, Jack faces off against a whole ship load of terrifying ghost pirates. They escaped from the Devil's Triangle and want to kill everything in their path. Jack teams up with a  astrologist and a suspected witch to try to win back the ocean.  Overall, a thrilling finale that will captivate audiences of all ages.

I just loved this newest addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise. As always, Johnny Depp is masterful in his role. His makes the sarcastic Jack Sparrow come to life in a way that no other actor could.  In addition to the full length feature, the Blu-ray set has some great bonus footage you won't see anywhere else, including hilarious bloopers and deleted scenes. My whole family enjoyed watching this film together. You can grab a copy of the final chapter in this legendary series in stores nationwide.
