“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” tries to turn back time, seeking to replicate the first 2003 film’s chemistry. Having started its cinematic journey adapting Disney’s theme-park ride, the “Pirates” movies have essentially become little more than the movie equivalent of a roller-coaster. Good actors (often with international pedigrees) might come and go, but the films remain defined by their elaborate action pieces and Johnny Depp’s perpetually drunk and disorderly buccaneer, Captain Jack Sparrow. To do that, however, he needs to locate the Trident of Poseidon, a quest that requires Jack’s help. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” premieres May 26 in the U.S. It’s rated PG-13.
