Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Novelization

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

I am a long time fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I remember watching the movies in theaters as a child since I was in elementary school when the films released. When I first watched Curse of the Black Pearl, I immediately fell in love with the story, the characters, and the world of pirates. Sure, Captain Hook from Peter Pan existed way before the Disney franchise, but he was too cartoonish for my liking. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann will be my forever favorite power couple. I mean what better romance than two people that fall in love at first sight only to become pirates by the end? Definitely beats the romance of Bella Swann and Edward Cullen.

Even though I've already watched the film, I really wanted to read the novelization of the story. I still laughed at the vulgar jokes and scenes and my heart raced towards the end when Henry reunites with his father. However, there was one major event missing in the end that I was so disappointed with. My assumption is that this book was written with the original script and ending. The ending of the script changed when Kiera Knightley's schedule freed up and she agreed to cameo at the very end of the movie. So, not only was it a reunion of son and father, it was also a reunion of lovers. Except, this new ending wasn't written in the script, so I got my hopes up for nothing. But, it was really neat to read the actual ending the writers intended.

I highly suggest for Disney Press to novelize all the films in the franchise. Die hard fans of the franchise will certainly buy the books, me included. Who wouldn't want to read their favorite pirate on the pages of a book or indulge the passionate romance between Will and Elizabeth in poetic prose format? I don't know why they didn't think of novelizing the films earlier. Plus the cover of the book is pure eye candy on my shelf.
