I love this trailer. The action, the music, the humor, it all made me feel like a 16-year old boy again. But I also have some complaints. Here they are:

Captain Jack is back! Jack Sparrow is still a man who can escape from the entire British Army in the craziest way possible, steal a shabby old ship, and sleep through his own hanging. All of that with his loyal crew composed of... a shy turncoat Redcoat and a girl who has no problems with taking her clothes off in front of pirates? Not exactly the standard able-bodied crew. But that's exactly the beauty of these films. With Jack Sparrow, normalcy is a rare commodity, and supernatural is the new natural. Young Jack was... interesting, for lack of a better word. I still hope the flashback scene won't ruin the established POTC continuity.

More of Barbossa Our beloved Hector is still the ultimate survivor. Even though he seems to be forced to work with Salazar and his crew of ghosts, I'm sure he'll find some way to escape. His outfit is a little confusing, though. Why is he wearing something that looks so similar to his old privateer uniform? Maybe that's his own weird way of mocking the British, something like "Look at me! I am Mr. so-and-so, the man who fooled King George and his entire Royal Navy, making them all dance to the pirate tune. Arrr!"

Capitán Salazar Finally, we know who he really is. Armando Salazar and his men are members of the Spanish Royal Navy, just as I suspected months ago. They all hate pirates and now they want Jack's head on a silver platter. No surprise when he's responsible for their deaths.

The Devil's Triangle Unfortunately, we still don't know much about that place, only how Salazar and his men ended up there. BTW, now that my theory about a certain scene was confirmed, I believe a certain pirate owes me a bottle of rum. But don't worry, mate. I'm not so greedy as some people think. We'll share the rum.

The supernatural Finally, the undead look like the undead. No offense, Rob Marshall, but your zombies were just a bunch of immortal guys with weird tattoos. Salazar's crew looks immeasurably better. The ghost ship the Silent Mary looks really creepy. Originally a floating fortress, she is now just a wreck kept afloat only by magic, but she still seems to be undefeatable. The ghost shark was equally frightening.

Déjà vu I couldn't help but notice some similarities with other films in the series. Jack is in prison, he's going to steal a ship, with the help of an honest lad who will break the chains of law and order to help him escape and eventually fall in love with a strong-willed girl while they're all being chased by some undead guys who can walk through the walls (like Davy Jones and his crew) and want to exterminate all the pirates on the Seven Seas (like Cutler Beckett). On top of everything, we have a young boy who wants to save his father from the curse of the Flying Dutchman. Kinda repetitive, don't you think?
