BBC iPlayer is currently streaming a Hollywood blockbuster that fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean series won't want to miss, reports Surrey Live.

Released in 2017, the film has garnered widespread acclaim from viewers.

On IMDb, one enthusiastic reviewer raved: "I loved it! Yes, it is made for the family audiences but it really kept me going for two hours!".

They continued: "It is an action filled adventure on the high seas from the times when Britannia ruled the waves.

"It has it all! Action, pirates, sailors, ghosts and what not, but it really is entertaining!"

"You have no other option but to take your kids to this one, you will not be sorry."

Another fan echoed this sentiment, writing: "Finally a Pirates of the Caribbean movie that I felt quite at par with the original one. I felt in this movie, the elements of entertainment were quite abundant."

A third viewer praised the film for meeting their expectations, saying: "Expectations is everything with these movies. While the previous Pirates of the Caribbean (PotC) movie feels more like a spin-off than a direct sequel to the original trilogy, "Dead Men Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge" continues the lore of the first 3 movies."

One more reviewer noted how the movie recaptured the magic of the original trilogy: "Let me start off by stating, I nodded off during Stranger Tides.

"The movie was a complete waste of my time and it besmirched a very good franchise. I refused to complete the movie till date. If something takes that much of effort to watch, I'd really rather go put my efforts into anything else.

"But with this movie? They hit their usual stride again. Fast paced, good action scenes."

They further commented: "But the movie did more than deliver and stay true to the original trilogy. It brought back the feelings of old. I wont give away spoilers but I was very happy to see old faces return to the screen [sic]."

Taking place 13 years after Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge or Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth instalment in the Disney series.

The film centres on Henry Turner (portrayed by Brenton Thwaites), son of Orlando Bloom's character Will Turner, who embarks on a quest to lift his father's curse using the Trident of Poseidon.

Despite being trapped aboard the Dutchman and only able to set foot on dry land once every ten years, Will insists that breaking the curse is impossible. However, Henry remains undeterred and recruits Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to aid him in his mission.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge also features performances from Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Rush, Kaya Scodelario, and Stephen Graham.
