2) Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
We all once loved Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp’s idiosyncratic turn as Captain Jack Sparrow – but sadly most people’s good will for the franchise and the character disappeared many years ago.
While Curse of the Black Spot is a proper modern classic, its follow-ups, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End, were turgid puddings of films while the fourth, On Stranger Tides, was merely forgettable.
[zergpaid]Still, there is a chance that Pirates 5 – officially called Dead Men Tell No Tales – could be the best since the first one (though that isn’t a tall order). It will see the return of Orlando Bloom to the franchise and, more excitingly, will see Javier Bardem as the film’s villain. That man – along with Judi Dench – is probably the main reason that James Bond film Skyfall was such a hit in 2012, so let’s hope he can work some of the same magic this time.
The film is set to drop anchor in May 2017.
