may 25, 2017 - WASHINGTON POST Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales: Long, loud & overstimulating

Description:

It’s great to have a job watching — and then writing about — movies. But why does “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” have to feel so much like work?

To be sure, it’s always been something of an effort to keep track of who’s alive or dead or undead in this multi-sequel epic featuring walking pirate ghosts and characters who get killed off in one installment, only to be magically resurrected in the next — especially after what feels like eight long movies.

What do you mean, this is only the fifth one? At over 12 hours total running time, the “Pirates” saga is starting to make the storytelling in “The Lord of the Rings” feel fleet by comparison. And a post-credits stinger scene tacked onto the new film hints that “Dead Men Tell No Tales” may not be the “final ad­ven­ture” after all, as trailers once promised.

But never mind.
