We have been waiting long and hard for this sequel of the hit franchise to finally come to theaters, and it has been agonizingly painful.

The movie was originally set for summer of 2015, but was delayed and then entered development hell. People have been wondering for years how this movie will turn out.

As it has been heard in recent news, Oscar winner Javier Bardem will be portraying Captain Salazar, the vicious nemesis of Captain Jack Sparrow.

It has been known for these "Pirates" films to get progressively worse as the next one comes out. The first Pirates movie came out in 2003 and surprised critics and audiences. It was a critical and box office success. The second "Pirates" movie, "Dead Man's Chest," was released in 2006 and received only mixed reviews compared to the first, but it nevertheless, made over $1 billion at the box office. Now when "At World's End" was released in 2007, it was clear that they were kind of running it in the ground. Then "On Stranger Tides" opened in theaters in May 2011 and that's when the franchise just started to be really redundant.

The series wasn't like "Harry Potter," where you could have eight movies where critics and audiences loved them and it wasn't redundant, afterwards. The "Pirates" series is turning into the "Ice Age" Franchise, where it's obvious that the writers and producers are making these films just to make money at the box office.

I just hope this "Pirates" film gets a better reception from critics and audiences than the last couple of films did.
