If you are looking for a fun family movie which is exciting and entertaining, you may want to gather up everyone in your family who enjoys the Pirates of the Caribbean movies to see the latest one. The movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is non-stop entertainment. From the bank robbery in the opening scene to the end of the movie, something exciting is always going on. My husband and I, our adult daughter, and two of our teenage grandchildren went to see the movie this weekend and enjoyed it immensely. There is even a brief scene with former Beatles member Sir Paul McCartney as a pirate in the prison with Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). As Jack is being lead away, McCartney gives him some hilarious advice. Our entire family laughed hysterically at some of the scenes. There is nothing even slightly serious, political or remotely redeeming about the movie. After all the dire news we have watched recently, this movie was exactly what we needed to see. Warning: Some of the ghosts and monsters in the movie, might scare preteen children.

@dodo19 - We almost did not go see it, since we have seen all the others. However, our grandkids invited us to go, and we are glad we went with them!

@dodo19 - This one was definitely one of my favorites. I liked it as much as the first one. In some ways, it was even funnier.

@jstory07 - This is the new one that just came out this weekend. It is possible it will be the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie ... although I'm not sure, since it has a record-breaking opening weekend.

@LadyDuck - You will enjoy it, I think. As I said, there is no socially redeeming value to watching it, but it was so much fun it certainly took my mind off politics and everything else for a couple of hours! That alone was worth the cost!

I haven't watched the Pirates of the Caribbean movies before.Sounds like they are the sort of movies in which dangerous images appear incessantly.

Yes, I think that is probably a good description of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Sounds like a fun movie, and I love Johnny Depp. We'd have to go to a matinee to see it, then out to dinner. We have no time for anything much the next few weeks. Thanks for the wonderful review!

@DianneN - It was a lot of fun. Completely took my mind off politics for a few hours and that alone was worth the price of admission! LOL Paul McCartney's small role was hilarious. He must have had a wonderful time filming it.

Sounds really good. To be honest, I'd gotten tired of these pirate movies and had not planned to watch this one. But after reading your review, I've changed my mind!

@CRK109 - Be prepared for a wild ride! We had not planned to see this movie, either, but our grandkids invited us. We were glad we went!
