They have a TV trope about this. It's called Never Trust A Trailer. If the novelisation's any indication, it's probably one of the darker films in the series. Not on the scale of the Dutchman scenes in DMC, but still pretty dark. Salazar in particular is pretty terrifying in scenes where he's not playing Comically Serious to Jack and Barbossa.

I'm really annoyed that they've shoved Barbossa, Will, and Elizabeth into this one when their character-arcs were completely finished in parts 3 and 4 and they no longer serve any logical purpose other than to needlessly remind us of the other films. Actually, with the exception of Elizabeth, that's also not true. Henry and Carina are mostly the same characters Will and Elizabeth were from DMC to AWE, but Barbossa and Jack are definitely the main characters in this.

If you've missed out, I'll tell you, sometimes the novelisation makes it better than it seems to be. While it is very good, they should definitely end the series here. Or at least, not continue it with the original cast.
