With the home release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales upon us, some of the DAPs Magic crew dropped anchor to review the swashbuckling fun! As has become tradition, we live-tweeted our observations as it played, using the hashtag #DAPsPirates5. With tweets ranging from silly to sincere, we had a great time taking in the latest Pirates adventure!
Here are just a few highlights from our Twitter escapades-
Set Sail
We started things off by covering the important stuff. We’re serious movie professionals, and it clearly shows in our work.
It’s a stormy night above the castle… #dapspirates5

Taking on Water
No movie is without its questionable jumps in logic (it is a movie about supernatural pirates, after all), and we couldn’t help but catch the strangest of tides.
"Dead men tell no tales"

Ah yes. The “my father isn’t a pirate but is clearly a pirate” trope.#DAPsPirates5

SPAGETTI WOLF
At the end of the day, we were watching to have fun, and fun we did! Here’s a few of the things that made us chuckle.

No dogs. No women. Cats and kids, totally fine. #dapspirates5

Pirate’s Life
Despite poking fun, we couldn’t help but notice some standout moments.
Paul McCartney has perhaps the best cameo in a #PiratesoftheCaribbean movie to date. #dapspirates5

Just realized corina names the monsters of the sea in movie order: kraken then mermaids #dapspirates5

Okay.
The Black Pearl reveal was pretty sweet. #DAPsPirates5— Cameron, Lead Pogonologist (@mr_camjaxn) September 30, 2017
Gibbs really is the best pirate in #PiratesoftheCaribbean. #DAPsPirates5
