Apparently it'll be less supernatural, and more piratey.

Never seen POTC? Dude it's awesome. Just the last one was lame but you need to watch the first one right now!

Watch the first one.

Then, pretend the other films don't exist.

The other two movies are good

the one complaint i came across from critics when they came out was the stories with them was convoluted.

I loved all of them except the last one.

The 1st movie was amazing. The 2nd and 3rd were pretty good. The 4th was bullshit.

The second one is my top. That was the best live-action Kraken ever.

The 2nd was decent but the 3rd was garbage.

Each to their own.

This has become one of those franchises where I cringe when I hear that they are making another one. I loved the first one, but it went steadily downhill from there.

The first is overrated. 2nd and 3rd were good. Never seen the 4th.

First one imo was the best, but didn't like them as they went on, because i'm not a fan of Bloom or Knightly, and they seemed to get more and more screen time.

Didn't see the 4th one.

Holy shit though, Bad Boys 3? **** yeah.

One was really good, two wasn't as good but it was still decent (as noted, the Kraken was ****ing awesome), three was a ****ing mess.

Four was pretty bad, though I really liked the presentation of the mermaids, the stupid inter-species romance aside.

1 & 2 were really good. 3 wasted all the opportunities from part 2. 4 was very meh.

First three = Official trilogy. Otherwise - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

One thing i found strange for part 3 was with the big ship battle, You see thousands of ships from both sides but in the end the focus was on just the two

Even for as bad as the can be I liked the first three movies. I was sick of Sparrows character by the second movie though. I'd like to see them advance his character

Official release date 2017

So Bloom is back in this one. Hoping for Knightley too. That combined with the focus on pirates instead of the supernatural makes me cautiously optimistic.

They need a new villain too. Blackbeard was wasted in the last one. I cant believe they wasted the single most famous real life pirate in the worst film.

So would a soft reboot mean he's not Captain of the Flying Dutchman anymore?

The after credits scene of the third one had him come back 10 years later as captain, so I think he's stuck in that regard

I remember the scene. Jane's there with their kid and he's grinning like an idiot that he gets to see his family again. Junior gets to see grandpa, etc, etc lol.

I'm wondering though if the focus isn't on the supernatural, why would probably one of the most supernatural people in the series(imagine Will with all Davy Jones powers) show up?

And since he is showing up, and if he is still Captain of the Dutchman, the film would have to be set for 10 years after his visit. But that's only if the original caveat no longer holds true.

Originally Jones was only supposed to Captain the Dutchman for a decade, and when he came back he could be with Calypso. But she never showed up which is why he went renegade in the first place. Since Jane waited faithfully for those 10 years, I'm assuming Will could get released from the bond.

If Bloom is coming back Knightley sort of has to, too, right? Those two characters are very intertwined. Either way, I'm extremely happy he's coming back. On Steanger Tides was so extremely lame, and I think Bloom and Knightley's absence was a big reason why.
