I can’t say I was a huge fan of the original Borat, perhaps the insufferable and endless impersonations that the character inspired in my generation are what put me off. This one felt like a must-see however—shot during the pandemic and released days before the US election.

Yarr it’s time we sent this franchise to Davy Jones’ locker, but Disney wants to use a pirate spell to bring it back to life.

Yeah that’s right, we’re taking this all the way, right into the pirates movies no one has bothered watching.

This was the most expensive film ever made at the time and it shows in its bloated, often tedious, action sequences. You get everything you liked from the other pirate movies, but repeated over and over again until you can’t possibly like it any more.
