He kills the entire crew but leaves Henry alive to tell the tale and hunt down Jack Sparrow for him. Entering the rocky cove, the ship is attacked by ghosts commanded by Spanish captain, Armando Salazar. Not wanting to lose face, the captain throws him in the brig and continues ahead. Defying the orders of his commanding officer, Henry uses his vast knowledge of folk-lore and myths of the sea to correctly predict that following a pirate ship into a cove called the Devil’s Triangle is extremely ill advised. Set five years after the last instalment (and some twenty years after the first film), Henry Turner, son of Elizabeth Swann and William Turner, is working a lowly position for the navy. It’s clear this latest entry tries to recapture the elements that worked so well in the original but what we end up with is an overcooked disappointment and a question which must be nagging every Disney producer: is this the best we can do with quarter of a billion dollars? In truth, the only decent instalment was the first one and everything that followed has seen diminishing returns of substance and quality. If any franchise is in dire need of retiring or a really fresh revitalisation, it’s the Pirates Of The Caribbean series.
