The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies have not been easy films to make....
As Michael Bolton once belted out: “This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow.” The Pirates Of The Caribbean film was a surprise sleeper hit in 2003, astounding the higher-ups at Disney who had long been sceptical of how a pirate movie, based on a ride at Disneyland, would appeal to audiences.
Off the back of this success, the sequels only got more ambitious and expensive in scale, with their use of practical effects and convoluted character dynamics serving to complicate the adventure format, with mixed results. It shouldn't shock you then, to hear that each of the movies released so far had some serious behind-the-scenes battles to make them shipshape.
The fifth and apparently final instalment, Salazar's Revenge (or Dead Men Tell No Tales), has had some very public battles before it has even been released,...

He gave us a galaxy far, far away (as well as the action hero whose name is adventure), yet a great many fans are still annoyed by George Lucas. It’s not just the Willow thing. There’s the little matter of “jumping the fridge” with Indiana Jones And The Crystal Skull. And, of course, the Star Wars prequels.
After Return Of The Jedi, we fans clamored, begged and waited 16 years for more Star Wars. We wanted more movie adventures (preferably those missing six chapters in the once-rumored nine-episode saga) in the worst way—and many would say that’s exactly what we got with The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of Sith. And many fans (including me) have carped about one aspect or another of the prequels ever since. Jar-Jar Binks, anyone?
Well, I’m kind of ambivalent about this matter. I’m used to Lucasfilm...
