Boy-oh-boy ... do we really need a fifth one of these?

Can it be as pish as the fourth one? I really enjoyed the first, and the second was pretty good (if a bit overlong), but the third one is where the rot really began to sink in. I still enjoyed the third as it tied up a trilogy, but good lord they didn't have drag it out and get seriously over-sized in the process.

On Stranger Tides (#4) was forgettable. I can't remember any damn thing about it, except I was thoroughly bored when I gave it a spin once it had limped onto the telly box.

Hopefully this fifth outing won't be as risible as that, but I wouldn't be surprised. Any idea of the running time? Will they have even learned the lesson that three hours of CGI isn't necessary?
