User blog comment:J Fan/Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Title Revealed!/@comment-5001650-20130907113658

I do think the tile is lazy. I have some "Pirates of the carribean" merchandise,one such item is a Jack Sarrow tricorn hat. On the inside of the hat there is a tag that reads "Pirates of the caribbean dean men tell no tales". Do I have advance pirates five merchandise? No. This party favor is dated back to 2006, around the release of "Dead man's chest". The way I see it, the title "Dead men tell no tales" was deemed unsuitable as a movie title and was regulated to a product line. "Dead men tell no tales" is too clumsily direct, and "Dead man's chest" more abstract and clever. The reason I think this movie is being dumbed dumb to appeal to the " lowest common denominator" audience is:

1. The lone ranger was a financial flop and Johnny deep is losing public interest.

2. "People" have been complianing that the pirate movies are too convoluted and want the "fun of the first one" back.

The average person knows nothing of nautical lore nor do they care to spend over two hours on a movie connecting all the dots. The narrative of the pirate films are not straight forward, in the sense that information critical to understanding the plot is not given out in a linear manner. I would argue the movies get better the more you watch them. "People" don't have the patience for this nor apprecation for the clever references and myth combinations (Davy Jones as the Captain of the Flying Ducthman, Blackbead's line: "If I don't kill some one now and then they forgaet who I am". ). "People" just want to be entertianed in a "simple way", and if the Pirate films conform to this model the feel and identity of the pirate films will be changed.

"Pirates Of The Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales" sounds lazy for a movie title.
