Many fine things, fabulous cast, high level of humour, liked the effects but it was far, far too long. Came out headachy and giggling to run up the down escalators and wave imploringly to those we left behind.
Fight scenes went on forever and the Jack/Salt-plains scene was completely self indulgent. Ditto the multiple Jack's - they didn't have enough Depp scenes?
So many things I loved, the little running jokes that are so cheap but so enjoyable - the rum, the monkey, the sea turtles etc. Really liked Wil being allowed to grow up a bit - confident, competent Wil who schemes with the best of them and will cheerfully sell Jack out to save his own father was a pleasure the watch.
Thought Naomi Harris was particularly good as Tia Dalma as was Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa.
Not at all impressed by the post-credits scene - let me get this straight... Elizabeth ends up the pirate queen but stays on land to raise the sproglet and wait for Wil? WTF? All that beautiful, strong, independent characterisation was heavily undermined. At least she wasn't washing his gear in a thong.
