No doubt that Disney has had much success with its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The series that launched in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, has finally reached it’s presumed final chapter. When On Stranger Tides did not do so well, many of us thought that may had been the end of the franchise. But this May we get to join Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp on one more sea adventure in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Obviously because of the previous film, this one could use a little push to get some momentum before it’s release date.
That why last night at the Walt Disney’s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, Dead Men Tell No Tales was shown in its entirety! CINEMABLEND was there and also put together some of the critics reactions to the film.
Here is what some of the critics are saying about their experience via Twitter:

Pirates 5 is a good ride. It has unfortunate pacing issues, but a solid sense of franchise mythology to appreciate, and impressive action.

Thing I liked most about #PiratesoftheCaribbean is it felt the most like the first movie, which is my personal favorite. Strong finale pic.twitter.com/SF9b6uk4GU

Eric Vespe of Ain’t It Cool
The new Pirates of the Caribbean is a big step up from the lifeless 4. Back to the fun myth building, still miss Verbinski's imprint.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a pleasant surprise. Continues the legacy, focuses on the characters and the world.

Pirates 5 is definitely the best one since the first. Admittedly, that isn't saying much but it does occasionally capture that magic.

As we can see the the reactions have been very positive. These types of reactions will no doubt help people who are on the fence about going to spend their hard earned money on this film. But of course it will be interesting to see what Rotten Tomatoes rates the film when its closer to its release date. With a good showing, Disney might even have to think about making another Pirates of the Caribbean film as long as you keep its foundation, Captain Jack Sparrow. Especially now knowing that there is another Turner in the mix.
