Well, be careful what you wish for... I wanted a simpler plot, got it, no Orlando Bloom, got that, more Johnny Depp, got that... And it's the flattest film in the series to date.
Without a complex plot you're left with characters who haven't changed and repeat the same beat. I guess Johnny is in love with Penelop Cruz but she's a beautiful spitfire and a little untrustworthy and that's it. Geoffrey Rush snarls and does his thing as does Ian MacShane's Blackbeard.
I liked the mermaids but jeez couldn't they find something more for the young male lead to be other than religious? Introduce him early or something? Make him a connection to Jack?
I liked the London scenes and the first half hour. Full of these annoying endings. Stop setting things up for sequels.
