Made Purely for the Paychecks

A disappointing cash-grab of a movie. There's a lot to dislike in this movie that just sees the leads going through the motions for a quick paycheck, but, most importantly, Jack Sparrow does not work as a protagonist. He has no direction, motivation, or drive in this film and that gives little for the audience to care about. Some elements works, such as Ian McShane's ferocious villain and the terrifying mermaid sequence, but, mostly, the film is a combination of empty action and plot elements, all shot without any life or interest.
