Released in 2017, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales received mostly negative reviews, earning a 30% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. While audiences gave it a better 60% rating, it still fell short of the original Pirates of the Caribbean films. Critics felt the movie relied too heavily on old ideas, didn’t handle popular characters like Jack Sparrow well, and contradicted previously established storylines. Despite these issues, the film offered some entertainment and appealed to fans of Orlando Bloom’s earlier work. Notably, the movie brought together Bloom with several of his former The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit co-stars, creating a mini Middle-earth reunion.
