*Disclaimer- I'm a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, so take my review with a grain of salt.
I actually really liked the new movie. In fact, I rank it number 2 behind the first. I thought this movie had a little bit of everything, action, romance, a couple tear jerker moments and a definite few surprises. It also did a nice job of tying up some loose ends. In the end, I walked out wondering why it got the number of bad reviews that it did. I'm guessing people are getting tired of the franchise, as it is number 5 in the series. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
