I disagree about Barbossa. The biggest saving grace of the 4th film, was finding out halfway through that Barbossa was only using the Royal Navy because they had the adequate resources for him to chase down and eventually kill Blackbeard. His final scene with him back in his old outfit along with his natural personality, is a great pay-off.
Now in 5, the movie implies that Barbossa has decided that he actually somewhat enjoyed playing "good", and has gone back to wearing and acting like something resembling a commissioned officer. His softened personality and outward appearance only made him come across as weak and unrecognisable from earlier films. The movie didn't have to go to these lengths just to prove that the guy has newfound feelings.
Why don't you make a video essay explaining how you would've written Barbossa in the 5th film?
It also makes no sense that Carina is his daughter. Jack says they knew her mother back in the day, before Barbossa’s mutiny. When Barbossa turns on Jack, Jack goes for 13 years before he gets the ship back in 1728, and Barbossa was trying to collect all the cursed Aztec gold in between.
This movie is set in 1751. That’s 36 years. Carina was supposedly born in 1732, meaning she’s 19. How exactly does that even work?
He’s a lot older in that film and the ending of his character was perfect. Any longer and it would just be sad to watch. Geoffrey rush was 64 during filming
@@alexman378 unless her death is specified at any point during the time of when jack knew her, then it's possible Barbossa eventually showed up years later, then decided it was time to get the milk after he spent a night with the woman, having no idea he and her were about to have a child in the upcoming months
Fully agreed. The crown served me well, but now by the gods of sea and tide, make way for Tortuga!
The thing that annoyed me the most during the movie is how underused the _Flying Dutchman_ was. It only served as the plot for Henry's determination.
Keep in mind, it was a ship used for *ferrying the dead to the afterlife.* Salazar and his crew are undead, meaning that the _Dutchman_ had to get involved somehow. But nope, it wasn't.
Such a waste of potential.
Also, imagine how awesome a battle with the _Flying Dutchman_ and the _Black Pearl_ against the _Silent Mary_ would be!
Something the 4th and 5th movie can't give us, a lot of awesome ship battles.
Both films gave us two of the most fearsome and awesome ships in the series and yet they don’t do any ship-to-ship battles…
It honestly frustrates me how good this movie could have been if just a few things were handled better.
@@malickfan7461true. The ideas are great, but the execution was horrible.
Not to mention they literally discard the _Revenge_ completely. Such an infamous ship and it just gets thrown out to sea.
There is so much wrong with this movie. There is the very uncharacteristic Jack Sparrow, the complete unlogical plot in regards to the previous movies, the changing of prior plot (like Jack getting the compass from Calypso and not from a random sailor) and so much more.
At least the bank heist was funny
For me, Pirates of the Caribbean is a Trilogy + 1 Spinoff
@Sherry Extra Dry If I remember correctly, he only could return for one day every 10 years. What I found weird though is that he and his crew on the Dutchman slowly changed into monsters. I don't think that Will wouldn't do his duty of laying dead sailors to rest. Also, Davy Jones also entered land to meet Jack and Co. So Will could see his sun a lot more often, if he wanted to, right?
@@OurLadyofPerpetualVictimhoodNah, that’s still good. The Dutchman’s captain can get on land once every decade.
@@oberlurch-handimations8628 I always took that as they are slowly turning because they can't possibly ferry every single that soul that dies at sea, there's just too many.
It’s not a random sailor. It was his captain. He was most likely the first mate.
I think no one will disagree with it
I disagree with it
Same
On Stranger Tides is worse
@@thegoodreylo4749t’s just not, on strangers tides is actually quite good
@@verstappen9937 On Stranger Tides is just a watered down version of what came before, and it has Jack Sparrow as the MAIN CHARACTER.
HE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER!!!!
All I want in this movie is THE REAL JACK SPARROW
I feel like Johnny Depp was completely hammered throughout this movie. He slurs all his lines and I hear stories about how he turned up late to set, smelling of booze. It was no secret that he was an alcoholic (after putting up with Amber Heard, I can’t blame him) and it shows here.
That was the most idiotic comment today congratulations.
It's not Depps fault the writing sucks donkey balls in this step by step guide to kill a frenchise
That’s only speculation
It's called being an actor, not "alcoholic" 😂😂
@@barborajezkova8393 You say that yet coincidentally this actor was also an alcoholic during a big portion of these movies timeline. Doesn't take away from his ability as we all know he is a phenomenal actor, unfortunately if it weren't for the bottle (and of course the false allegations) he could still be involved, though I do think he is better off nowadays, especially disney completely burning their bridge so we will most likely never see him again as Jack, though he did say if enough of his fans wanted it then he would consider it again
@@barborajezkova8393Or it’s “Method” acting.
What annoys me about the retcon with Jack’s compass is that it didn’t need to happen. Just make it so he already secretly had this magic device that he never really got to use before because of his low rank on the crew, then after Salazar kills Jack’s captain, Jack finally gets to use that compass properly. As the scene is, it just feels like the movie came down with a case of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and pointlessly felt the need to show the origin of the main character’s every component.
The acting from Johnny in this movie was great for what they were going for, but what they were going for was shit.
Honestly his stick is just getting old in the first movie his performance was amazing because just how he moved and spoke was really surprising because audience never really saw Johnny Depp acted like this but as the sequels go on the strangeness gets a bit repetitive even in this movie he is phoning it in .
I hated the last couple films because the absence of penti and ragetti characters. These two alone offered so much comedic relief, which was the one of the reasons why pirates of the Caribbean became so watchable.
Exactly! They added a bit more to the story of the first 3 films and I feel like if they came back and were part of the crew in 4 and 5, then those films would have been better. Also, it would have been cool to see them hang out with Mullroy and Murtogg.
it was not Johnny's fault. he said himself on the trial that script was terrible written and he had to do a lot of re-writing...
I always felt like the story would almost have been better if Henry remained an eleven, twelve year old boy who found Jack after stowing away on ships and being resourceful, and Jack initially decided to at the very least see this little inconvinience home safely as a favor to Elizabeth, until he produced some kind of clue that persauded Jack that all right, so maybe the trident of Poseidon aren't all myth; so he tells Gibbs to "hide the rum" and tells the lad with the exaggerated grin that you know what, boy, we might be able to help your father after all, as they were going to take a detour. Shenanigans ensue.
Just the idea of a Jack Sparrow transitioning from something akin to a reluctant babysitter to a funny uncle for twelve year old Henry as Will and Elizabeth's son grows on him sounds really wholesome to me, as Henry proves to be quick-witted and resourceful, and might use the fact that he is a child to get into a place no adult civilian, let alone pirate, could simply walk through the door by claiming one of the red-coats guarding it was his father, and steal something Jack needs. Sort of like when Mullroy and Murtogg starts bickering, and Jack looks from one to the other with a "oh my god, these two..." look, only this time it is Henry who looks between Jack and Gibbs as they quibble about the best way to get inside this area, and though they freak out a bit when they find Henry gone, once he shows up again, with what Jack needs for the journey, Jack can acknowledge his wit and take him on as a cabin boy for the remainder of the voyage, and stops walking on eggshells around him because he is capable, and not simply little "Will's boy" or "Elizabeth's son".
That sounds monumentaly better than what we got, and for a funny moment. They could have little Henry use some rum kegs in a net to wreak some of Jack's pursuers, with Jack witnessing it and saying "He's definitely Elizabeth's lad that one."
@@nitrocatmeower8941 Ingenious. Give me a head's up in 25 years if Disney decide to reboot PoTC with new actors - perhaps we can infiltrate the writing staff or something?
That sounds AMAZING. In addition, that fixes another issue with this movie... which is that Henry visibly ages, but the other characters like Jack don't seem that different. I feel like with how much he's grown into a late teens early twenty's character, Jack should've looked older. But no, he just looked completely the same, despite perhaps 20 years passing. I can buy will not looking older since maybe the curse kept him in the state he was in when he stabbed the heart, but it felt weird that Jack looked the same.
also since elizabeth's the pirate king, will's the flying dutchman captain, just how much of a pirate royalty henry turner must be. he should be BREATHING sea and adrenaline, a young prodigy always on adventure. it would've been a nice transition from the first trilogy to another set of films centering around henry and his team with occasional cameo of jack sparrow and barbossa as "cool uncles". it would save old characters legacy and pave the road for new actors and new stories.
name it smth like pirates of the seven seas, cast any person of any nationality next to obvi white henry turner, the pirate prince, explore other pirate lords' domains which were teased in at world's end and you're still relevant and coherent! money's flowing, viewers are happy, another trademarks are made and merch is sold!
@@ethel-cIt's astounding how a random UA-cam comment is more well-thought-out than a corporate writing room. Then again, business is allergic to good art, so it makes sense
tbh the fourth one isnt that bad because at the end of the 3rd movie, jack had ripped out the chart and was planning to look for the fountain of youth, but i can understand why it felt left without context because they introduced a bunch of characters out of thin air. i think that to even INCLUDE the fourth one, they shouldve at least changed the end of the 3rd one a bit, introduce the characters in it and modify the fourth movie so that the audience would properly know who angelica is, not just some random girl that appeared in the movie.
What I fucking hate about this movie is how captain Salazar already didn't escape in the couple first movies because Jack gave up the compass multiple times in the past movies meaning Salazar would have been out the devils triangle years before
8:53 it has been revealed by Johnny himself (while on the stand during the Amber case) that he did not get to write for Jack in this movie, like he did for 1-4. Explains a lot. No one knows the character better than he, and he hardly had any say for Jack in this film. And look what we got. So sad :(
This was the first pirates movie I got to see in cinema, and as a major fan, I was HEAVILY disappointed. Besides Jack, this was the thing that annoyed me most of all;
-The wicked wench was never a pirate ship. Jack captained it for the company under the command of Lord Cutler Beckett. After disobeying Beckett's orders, and setting free the 'cargo' i.e. African slaves. Jack gets imprisoned and the Wench gets set on fire. Jack escapes and tries to save the ship in a desperate attempt. Jack goes down with his ship and calls upon Davy Jones to save him and the ship which he renames 'The Black Pearl'. Jack then strikes the 13 year deal with Davy Jones. This is literally the most important piece of backstory for films 2 & 3 and can be found in a canon novel 'The price of freedom' released by DISNEY.
did he go down with the ship? davy jones never mentions that, whenever they talk about their deal, they mention only the ship
@@TheHowlingEyejack was probably like one of the sailors at his mercy like in Davy jones intro scene
yeah that's what bothered me the most about the origin story scene. the original was literally perfect, him valueing human freedrom over riches is actually very noble and makes you simpathic towards the pirates.
both explenations could work if for some reason Jack killed Salazar and ended up working for the literal enemies years later, only to go back to piracy because he didn't like them. maybe being a captain and riches went to his head until confronted with the dilemma?
1)Extraordinary magical events,topics etc. have become so absurd
2) Makeup and costumes spoiled the seriousness.
3) Action scenes became too childish.
4) Bad CGI / Color harmony
Are you talking about the first four films?
+ Henry is a selfish spoiled brat who is ready to screw the balance between life and death by freeing Will of his duty to guide the dead to the afterlife.
+ Jack Sparrow is character assassinated by being a buffoon who lost all his intelligence and never helps Henry or Carina, and is the one responsible of all the troubles they have with Salazar.
+ Salazar is a generic villain who can’t even go on land nor his henchmen can’t, thus he isn’t even a big threat.
People are trying to get Johnny depp back into the pirates movies, but I think it’s for the best that Johnny stays away this time, even when they offer his job back. Cause 4 and 5 did not go well, and a sixth movie would not go well and would just drag the good name Johnny depp, and the troublemaker with a heart of gold captain jack sparrow. Unless the story is actually well written.
4 was meh but 5 was just genuinely underwhelming and lacklustre
His performance in both movies was awful too, though.
Personally, I think 4 and 5 should be decanonized and if the writers can make a good story, remake 4
No one would have complained if the series ended at world ends
Jack sparrow will still be a character in pirates 6… he’s going to be ruined
Yeah Salazar's design is spectacular....if Davy Jones didn't exist that is
Have you guys noticed that 4&5 have the least sword play scenes that involve jack sparrow? It feels like jack becomes a secondary character in his own movies
In my opinion barbossa was always a better and fun to watch character compared to jack so i didn’t mind this film.
Gosh I was such a huge fan too. I don't think it was just Jack. You are right about the other characters just being a step up but everything just felt to meh, regardless of Jack being who he is or not. This movie broke the continuity both within itself and within the entire franchise as a whole, not only with the compass but the wicked wench, the Brethren court, and the love story between William Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Okay, so Turner is cursed now. Forget that he is supposed to be the Foyle of Davy Jones because his love actually worked out with Elizabeth. So what about Henry? I just didn't feel the same fire from Henry like what will had for his father bootstrap bill, throughout the movie, although both five and two had equally as emotional scenes between the Fathers and Sons establishing the race to set the fathers free. Carina Smith's story is a very interesting story that they could have done so much with, but it just boiled down to "oh my gosh she's a witch because women can't be smart", which plays into the other issue of the side characters being too bland or generic mwahahaha villains. There just wasn't the same passion with the extras and Side characters as it was in the previous movies where everything felt visceral and real. I mean, apart from the fact that we'll probably never get entire Crews to build entire warehouses of designs to film an epic battle in a maelstrom, or asking a bunch of diverse ethnic people from around the world to film a scene in a cannibal island or an army from Spain or a fight sequence in Singapore ever again. You cannot expect me to believe the extras and side characters, when you have an actual real witch, who blatantly tells you that carina isn't a witch, and they just blow her off even though they look nothing alike. Yes, people were ignorant back then, but were they really that ignorant? Or is there some kind of message that the writers and directors were trying to tell? I guess that's just it. If there was another issue than Jack Sparrow, it would be the massive continuity errors and the fact that everything in this movie is just amazing potential that goes nowhere and is wasted due to poor writing and lack of passion. I mean, just look at how they treat their Supernatural macguffins ! Barbosa has the freaking sword of Triton , but seems to have forgotten about it until he needs to bring the Pearl back conveniently. And who knows what happened to the Queen Anne's Revenge, a ship with plenty of broadside and cannons that can spit fire that burns underwater. And nobody has the same kind of reverence for the Black Pearl apart from a few people cheering that she's back. This is the ship that took on the Flying Dutchman, and joined her to destroy the Endeavor. This is the ship that struck fear for 10 years and earned its reputation as a Supernatural ghost ship, so much so that Blackbeard kept it as one of his prized possessions. And she's just use as a cheap convenient tool for a Epic ship race, in which she already lost to a battleship and a dinghy. They put so much effort with the symbolisms of each of their vessels in the previous films. Like how the Black Pearl is a symbol of freedom and Speedy flight, while the Flying Dutchman and subsequently the Queen Anne's Revenge are symbolisms of bondage through death and / or fear. And what about Gibbs? Are we forgetting that he literally has a supernatural map memorized in his head? Yet like every other side character and extra, he is just as oblivious to how on Earth they are going to be able to find some mysterious island with the Trident, which no one else can find after everything he has been through and knowing what is inside his head. All of this turned me off from the franchise because I know now that they are running out of ideas because of how much they wasted with this fifth movie, and it's very unlikely that we'll have the same impactful adventurous experience with any future films like we did with the first three and even 4
THERE ARE ONLY 3 PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIES ! THE 4TH ONE IS A NICE ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION, OKAY ?
Blackbeard is a garbage villain.salazar is better
The 4th one was not that good but okay
Barbosa has always been my favourite parts of the films.
Love that u brought up the fact that Tia Dalma was the one who gave him the compass. I like that in the first four ppl only mention Jacks past in passing leaving room for imagination.
Tbh 4 was the kinda last one that followed the full franchise plot and the 5th one was just a movie to make money and that’s it had no real interest
I think they wrote jack so unfavorably intentionally. When the movies have years between them, leaving a distaste in our mouths with jack makes it easier for them to get rid of him
This was legitimately my least favorite movie of all time - truly the biggest work of utter crap I had ever seen in a cinema. (AND I saw it on my birthday to make things worse). I was so exited to see this one, and it just left me feeling so empty. The first three Pirates films were the biggest part of my childhood - they literally shaped most of my personality and went on to be some of my favorite movies - ever. This video perfectly encapsulates some of the biggest gripes I had. Every facet of this movie got things so utterly wrong that I can't help but hate it.. obviously there are some movies worse than this one out there - but this will remain my all time most hated movie till the bloody sun burns out. Thanks for the vid :)
Same here, first three will always be in my heart and i watched them all immediately when they were released, i was 6 year old when first was released. I wasn't ever exited 4th or 5th, most of the time when you end a story and continue it anyway it will be crap
Same. I think the villain was okay though but everything else was very mediocre at best. The dialogue was shit, Jack wasn't even jack, the character development was non existent, the whole movie was such a let down preceded with such unjustified hype.
it was not Johnny's fault. he said himself on the trial that script was terrible written and he had to do a lot of re-writing...
you forgot to mention how they literally changed the story about how Sparrow got the pearl/wicked wench. he received it from beckett actually, and then kind off didn't obey him. he didn't get it because it already was a pirate vessel and the previous captain died during a battle.
Ret con
Just wait for 6.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Captain Barbossa may need glasses
This movie was hurtful to watch
This movie makes On Stranger Tides look like a good movie in comparison.
I think the fact that Jack just happens to already be in the huge safe (with the governors wife) drunk as ever, is skill enough to make up for how he luckily gets pulled away. Idk that’s just me though😂
If memory serves me right Tia Dalma gave Jack the compass, how come they changed that now
If there is a 6th movie. It needs to be about the sea of thieves. Since that's cannon apparently
he will get belly slammed by the pirate lord and die 😢
Black pearl is one of the best adventure films to me.
Dead man’s chest is really stuffed but I think the Davy Jones ploy that is the main plot is brilliant.
At worlds ends first and last act are great but second act is a slog
On stranger tides is weird to me. I don’t think it’s a good movie it’s a 4/10 but I always seem to watch it the most? I dunno why I always have fun with it tho. If you just want a fun movie night to stuff popcorn in ur Face ID say it’s good for that. One underrated thing abt that film is the music the music is the best in the franchise if u don’t believe me listen to the soundtrack you’ll see what I mean
5 tho is horrible I didn’t even know it existed till the other month and I was really excited and man it was shocking
What do you mean by sttufed?
I liked Pirates 5 just as much as the others before it. You said Jack's character was butchered, but I don't agree. To me, it feels normal for his character to change over time, as is normal with a human being. And the way his character has changed makes sense, given that he was supposedly a heavily drinking pirate, and you cannot expect his brain to remain the same over the years, given this and his life experiences. You should not expect a character to remain linear in the course of more than a decade. It's like expecting someone to be just the same at 25 and at 45. It doesn't make sense. So therefore, I believe the change in Jack's character is normal. Also, Salazar's character was very good in my opinion. Henry's was pretty decent. Barbossa was excellent indeed, but his character has evolved as well, as was expected to happen over the course of the years. There's much more to add here but I'll leave it at that. I personally enjoyed the 5th movie just as much as the others. Maybe a bit more than the 4th, because of the story and the characters. I liked Salazar more than Blackbeard.
Specifically regarding Jack, no. Just, no. Time passing is not a excuse for Jack acting as inconsistent as he does when compared to the other films. If On Stranger Tides could keep things consistent with Jack's character when it has a time-skip, Dead Man Tell No Tales had no reason not to. Then again that just brings up another issue with the film regarding how despiste 19 years passing since At World's End, Jack, Gibbs, the crew and Barbossa look around the same age.
@@Cton9573at least the characters where better than 4.Salazar and jack where great
For a small UA-camr who doesn't get many views this is an absolutely brilliant video, editing is top top notch was watching and thought u had 200k+ subs keep the content like this coming bro one will pop of trust, pirates lotr hunger games all that stuff cooks for views.
Jack in this movie is what Jack PRETENDS to be in the previous movies... In the first three movies Jack was a drunk idiot who was secretly cunning and clever, but in this movie he's just a drunk idiot.
Technically it's not fan service having those two guards be part of Barbosa's crew because they pretended to be part of his crew at the end of Dead Man's Chest
It would've been true fan service if it was Pintel and Raghetti.
Also, jack was the captain of the pearl( wicked wench) long before he was a pirate and he refused to trade slaves and freed them, thus getting marked as a pirate and his ship was burned and sunk. He then bargained with jones to raise the ship.
The pearl was always his ship. The teenage jack was so shitty looking and was completely wrong.
Barbossa's development doesn't make any sense. In the 1st film he's REALLY violent, mainly towards Elizabeth. At the end of DMC, he magically reapears to save the day. And somehow he's now cooperating with people who were his enemies before his death? Ok lmao... Then obviously he doesn't become friends with Jack and sails away with the Pearl. Why does Jack's crew betray him btw? Whatever. Then in OST, he becomes quite cruel again, letting the royal navy's get sunk by the mermaids for example. My problem with Barbossa as a captain in general is that while he is a great leader, he doesn't give 2 fcks about his crew members, so it doesn't make sense to me that someone is loyal to him at all. In the 5th film this happens again - he lets the dead absolutely slaughter his crew... But on the other hand he kinda becomes good, saves Jack and shows love towards his long lost daughter and sacrifices himself for her... Seriously Barbossa's development makes ZERO sense :(((
*also at the end of AWE, how is it that Jack lets Barbossa sail away with the Pearl😭😭😭 that's SO frustrating i hate it
Richie, i am hooked on your channel and this is an A+ video. Thank you.
I feel and agree with every cursing, every heavy grunts of this man. Truly detailed analysis
The compass is connected to Salazar because if you betray the compass, it will release your worst fear. For Jack it was Salazar. Pay attention.
This movie would've been exponentially better if Jack wasn't Captain Drunk Sparrow
29:23 Okay, there are definitely things that don't make sense with the trident, but that is NOT one of them. Yes, both Salazar and Barbossa were cursed to be immortal undead beings, but there was something different when Barbossa was brought back: HE WAS SHOT! The same thing magic-wise happened to both of them, but nothing happened to Salazar.
Ngl I didn't really like the twist that Karina was Barbosa's daughter
It felt so random and out of the blue
Lol- such a great breakdown of the movie, the part where you scream about signing the petition made me literally lol…and yes…I did sign ;). Well done. New sub. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Um no Corina is what has stopped me twice from ever completely watching this movie a second time. Trash character and they just destroyed the core of Jack for no reason. Fuck this movie. Terrible plot execution, zero payoff, destroys characters, bland dialogue, felt like some bad filler fanfiction, and poorly rehashes scenarios and tropes. To call the characters better is just ridiculous, but sure I do agree it is the worst.
For me, this movie has some really good IDEAS, but the fact that whole thing hinges on a RETCON is what really kills it…just have Salazar be released organically, remove any connection to the compass, and fix Jack’s writing at LEAST, and you’ve got a movie that should be at least DECENT
I was going to be an extra in this film. Signed contracts, the whole thing, ready to go until it fell through last minute and I couldn't do it. Was incredibly sad about it... Until the film came out.
Perfect fucking video. Well crafted and really felt your sharing frustration. And my god I hope The Rock does NOT replace Depp in POTC6... (no disrespect to the actor)
I hope jack sparrow not becoming weak character like Hulk nowadays.
Bring back the Real Jack Sparrow and Hulk .
Those are diferent cases:
-Jack becomes a mooron instead of a intelligent man acting like a mooron
-Hulk just looses his strengh, and his intimidation factor, everything made him hulk😊
To me after the Will & Elizabeth storyline wrapped up in 3, I had a hard time being invested in 4 and 5. I’m interested in watching your video and hearing more of your thoughts.
Gonna have to update this video in a few months to a year when 6 comes out. People will wish for this one again.
We can blame Disney for such a terrible story. They even alternated how Jack obtained his compass.
Even after all these years I'm still extremely disappointed with how they handled the Dead Man Tell No Tales. They absolutely butchered Jack as a character it just felt off-putting compared to the rest. At least part 4 was somewhat a cohesive story but this one is just milking an old cow dry.
I actually liked the first 4 films, the 4th film at least feels like a Pirates of The Caribbean movie, and I don't like any of the characters in the 5th film
Barbossa is my favorite character, he's the best villain in my opinion, And I hate it to see him to die in this film, He should've just stuck with the Aztek Curse.
Hi, this is SUCH a good review!!
And so I think you're right, the 6th movie should be the in-between story focusing purely on Jack and his adventures
18:32 the amount of emotion he showed when saying that line
congrats on 600 subs 🥳
Thanks bro :))
There's a lot of true pirates of the caribbean fans here that have already pointed all the errors and inconsistencies about this movie but I want to add something. Salazar is a SPANISH captain sailing and hunting pirates for the kingdom of SPAIN, but his ship has an english name "silent mary" instead of a SPANISH name, because you know, maybe the spanish want their ship to have SPANISH name instead of english names idk....
I paused this at the bit where he said you dont know if hes planned it or making it up as he goes. I have a third option. He knows what he wants, his goal. The means in which he achieves said goal are completely improv. Hes the walking military saying of "plans are useless, but planning is essential."
If only there was the sixth one
And yet people still want a sequel
The british also just feel off in this film, in the others it treated british people like people either following the law or orders from bad people in command, in this film every brit is just evil despite the fact that's not close to how it would be in real life
The best part of seeing this film in theaters for me was when there was a belligerent drunk man in the audience who got up and blocked the screen, they had to stop the movie and remove him. After that they resumed it and we got free ticket vouchers for whatever movie we wanted which I used for Blade Runner 2049, so Blade Runner and a drunk man were the highlights of this movie to me
Most of the ‘good’ stuff appeared in the trailers, that’s when you know the studio thought it was a stinker.
My biggest issue with Salazar is that his character is just a ripoff of Cutler Beckett. He is a military general who swore to exterminate pirates, has a personal rivalry with Jack Sparrow, and takes advantage of a see curse to control the ocean.
POTC 5 writers making Captain Jack Sparrow's character:
- haha drunk pirate funny
- haha goofy talk funny
- haha Johnny Depp scream funny
- depression
There is only one thing that I believe would warrant a Pirates of the Caribbean 6 - The death of Captain Jack Sparrow. He needs to die and not come back. Obviously, he has to be given the proper send-off. He needs to die with honour and he needs to have a good reason to die via sacrificing himself or something. He also needs to sink with his beloved Black Pearl. Jack can go out in the way he would want and he will achieve the immortality he always wanted - the immortality of a legend.
great video, i really enjoyed it🤩
11:24 He actually made the deal with Jones for 13 years but I don't need to be picky about details
I hated this movie because it commits the ultimate sins of being boring. Sure, it has funny scenes, but that doesn't save the movie. Barbossa and Jack and Gibs were really the only characters to come out of it okay.
It's not like there wasn't a ton of problems, but I would argue the worse part of the movie was seeing Johnny Depp being destroyed by Amber Heard on the film. Like, you can so see his personal issues right there on the screen. Depressing really.
Ah yes, when every PotC sequel exists for Jack Sparrow, and then you get the fifth movie where they somehow write him as a completely different character.
I don't care I grew up with these movies and I enjoy every single one of them they were all great
Good analysis, I enjoyed it
I agree with that scene showing a younger Jack and when he got Salazar killed, that retcon pissed me off. But ive seen theories that people say since Tia Dalma never states WHEN Jack bartered the conpass off her, he may have offered it as tribute to his old captain when he joined the Wicked Wench crew, not knowing what it was. Very unlikely as its more likely they just forgot their own story and lore, but would be interesting to say the least. As at the time of giving up the compass to his old captain as tribute, he may have not had a "greatest fear" that it could awake
Frankly the thing that pissed me off the most about the 5th movie was the complete disregard for the lore. William being turned into Davy Jones is blatantly stupid; Jones became the way he was cause he wasn't doing his job. If William did his job of ferrying souls to the other world he'd be fine, but no he's a fish man. Not even to mention the lack of Calypso in the plot when she was the one who made Jones and the flying Dutchman what they were. The movie has such a disregard for the previous ones I can't even count it. I can let stranger tides be because it's relatively inoffensive to the previous stories, but dead men tell no tales was broken from the start
You could argue he couldn’t fight Salazar because jack was afraid since the compass releases what you fear most
The only problem I had was Jack getting the compass from his last Captain instead of Tia Dalma.
Your video is spot on 👌
Edit: my favorite scene (outside young Jack/minus the retcon) is when Mr. Gibbs appoints the shipmate Captain right before they’re captured😂
“We will beat your Captain to death if you don’t give us the information we seek.”
Gibbs: 😬
Everybody loves Jack Sparrow for manipulating his way to success. But if I do it I'm a "psychopath" and "need to seek help".
jack trading his compass for some rum isn't bad writing, just Jack being Jack
How anyone watched past part 3 is astounding in itself.
It's like the production team saw how Captain Jack Sparrow cosplayers silly-ran and failed their arms around at conventions and were like "write that down WRITE THAT DOWN!!!"
He became a copy of a copy.
This is such a fucking great review I love this man with a shitting passion
The only part of this video I disagree with is how you mentioned Jack isn't the best sword fighter. I think he most certainly is the best sword fighter if not tied for first. He was always insanely competent as a fighter. The first movie he was just a bit better than Will (judging by how many swords Will grabs and loses) and is mostly in control when fighting Barbosa. The 2nd movie doesn't have much sword fighting with Jack but he is holding his own during the 3 way fight the whole time and is dominating with a boat oar. The third movie, Jack is dominating Davy Jones (would have killed him twice were it not for the claw hand and immortal) with his sword and a large random wood piece. The fourth movie he was caught off guard seeing Angelica's move but even ground otherwise. Later he doesn't even has to try against Scrum.
TLDR Jack is constantly dominating opponents if not matching their skill demonstrating easily being the best sword fighter
i’m guessing that the compass was used to make them escape because there is some power linked to the compass using them to get there in the first place.
see that was be fine i guess if they didn’t basically rewrite what they did in the 2nd movie. it’s really like they got writters that never watched the pirate movies, or maybe they only watched the 4th one😭😂
He traded in his compass cause there nothing he wants. He got the black pearl...... but now he relies wait what does he do afterwards like what treasure left
At 31:14 what was carina doing exact??
4th Pirates of carribean sucked so BAD! I just watched cuz of Johny. BUT IS SUUUUUUUUCKED SO BAD!
5th sucks so bad it makes 4th look better.
@@jordyalmonte42 Ill remember that to never watch it!
Honestly, I still enjoy the fifth film a tiny bit more than the fourth. The fourth’s pacing just kills it for me.
I think that the fourth film was actually good. I agree with you I don’t like the fifth film but I think they could’ve taken what they did with the fourth film and expand up on it because I’d like to know what happened to Angelica I know there’s a post credit scene, but I’d like to elaborate more into the character. I thought Angelica was an awesome character, and they could’ve followed up on her sorrows on the sequel to the fourth one, which would’ve been the fifth one, and then they could’ve made a like a new trilogy with a sixth one, but I wouldn’t place any bets on the sixth movie if we’ve seen Hollywood recently, we know the sixth one is gonna suck. Also they’re not going to have Johnny Depp in it either and yeah, you know what I mean.
I think kid Henry was pretty cool like how he manage to locate Flying Dutchman and talk to his dad was very beautiful and heartwarming. And I agree I was super confuse of Jack Sparrow's acting and behavior in this movie feels so wrong and odd. I know he is clumsy and sometiems remind me of Jar Jar Binks a bit but he is smart, he do smart things clever, has extreme luck and survives with pure luck and the moment I see him trade his compass I couldn't believe it. Coz The compass is as important as the black pearl for him. Ok Jack's most important items, Black Pearl, The Compass and His Hat. Are the 3 important items. I can never see Jack without them. I also hate we lost Barbossa coz I always wanna see more Jack and Barbossa moments but yeah its sad. I wish this movie could get a remastered or something to make it bit better but Idk if that possible anymore.
Carina or whatever her name was got on my nerves the most. She basically spent the whole movie trying to show how smart she was and how stupid the men were. It was annoying as hell.
They forgot about Black beard’s ship. It only disappiared but Barbossa has the magic sword. Where is that Ship?
They ruined Jack by making him drunk throughout the film. I miss the funny genius like he was in the first 3
For me this movie was a total joke, and an absolute insult for both Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, who does literally nothing in the plot, the plot that Karina is his daughter is bullshit, and had the most ridiculous death I've ever seen of a character that made me burst out laughing in the movie theater. Laugh and cry inside.
Even though Salazar was an ok or mid villian, his theme/suite is amazing.
