No clue, I love them though. Unironically enjoy the 4th film, although Penelope Cruz is fucking terrible. Luckily Depp always manages to save the films through his performances.

Great music, great set pieces. They're Errol Flynn-like fun that give their actors the space to give their hammiest performances. All four of them, to varying degrees. Looking forward to the upcoming fifth, hope they don't fuck it up.
>>
God bless Johnny Depp. You can tell he had a lot fun with the role of Jack Sparrow, he was very well-cast.
>>
>>72109599
Sucks he won't watch his own performances.
>>
>>72108829
Thats because the first one was a 100% carbon copy of escape from monkey island
The other two films were not 100% based on the games sequels bit used them more as guidelines.
Also they made the 2nd&3rd movie about Will and Elizabeth and turned everything else into side characters
>Barbosa was the best thing they ever did and that's a god damn fact
>>
>>72109431
Hsi performance in it was meh tier compared to the rest of the movies
Barbossa was the strongest character in 4, they gave even more depth to his character and allowed us to see Geoffrey Rush as a one legged alchoholic

Is the fifth movie ever going to be released?
>>
>>72109815
Jack wasn't supposed to be the protagonist in the first one, it really was Elizabeth. In fact, they were worried that Jack was going to be so outrageous that people would be put off by the gay pirate thing. When they loved it and Depp got an Oscar nod, he became a bigger character in the next ones. To their credit though, they never actually flipped everything to make him the protagonist, although he was for the fourth one, and probably for the next.

I know he wasn't gay. That's just what the producers were afraid. I think they threatened to fire him over it or something

1, 2 and 4 are good. If they had skipped 3 it would have been a perfect trilogy.

>>72110535
The dadaist scene in the beginning and the ship slomo explosion scene make the movie worth it. Also that scene in the Chinese harbor was gorgeous

I think it might've gone too far in a few places. So many characters are comedic foils at once that it can get annoying for some, and it's a little long. And the story itself is a little convoluted. I personally love it too.

Maybe the first one. 2 and 3 were bad, but at least they were still entertaining to watch once.

Something about wacky mid-2000s movies are comfy to me, probably a really loose sense of nostalgia, I didn't much care for them when they came out but I was surrounded by the craze and all that

Just like the first couple of Harry Potter movies, don't think I've ever sat through an entire one but they seem comfy af

They're all great. So comfy and fun to watch.

1st and 2nd are good, 3rd is somewhat decent and the 4th is downright abysmal.

1>2>3>4
Literally gets worse as it goes along, but they're not all bad.

Is it worrh watching 4? I kinda like the 3
>>
>>72111609

Disagree I liked a lot of the set pieces in the 4th movie. Like the mermaid scene and the final battle between multiple factions.
>>
The problem with Pirates 4 is that it seems they went out of their way to remove as much of the "crazy" as they could since it seems one of the big takeaways from 2 and 3 was that they were just "too much"

It also does not have a memorable visual identity at all.

Originally, the entire intro to the film was set in London during the winter, and the Sparrow chase was in the middle of the snow, the concept art looks very fresh for the series, but they dropped this, and the filmed version is just plain

Blackbeard and his sword are very underplayed. The entire magical aspect of the film is actually strangely underplayed.

The design of the fountain of youth is plain, not memorable, Verbinski would have made it looks completely ethereal, and the Marshall's climax is again, boring and without much visual invention.

Pirates 2 and 3 are overlong, and messily plotted, but good god, they are some of the most visually inventive and striking blockbusters of last decade.
>>
>>72108747
Pirates are fun, it's that simple.
>>
>>72111799
it was kinda weird how they kept making a big deal about beating the Spanish sailors only for them to show up, shoot the badass side character, destroy everything then just fucking leave
>>
>>72111139
Most people say it's too long, too complicated, and almost feels like a parody due to how over the top it is.

I love all that shit. I love the scope of everything, the action, and how much Depp, Rush, and Nighy are into it. Plus it has one of my favorite soundtracks of any movie ever.

>>72111860
This shit right here. They built those Spanish fuckers up so much and they did almost nothing. I'm guessing they were maybe planning on having them in a sequel but I doubt they'll show up again.

because barbossa is amazing, depp is well cast, and that god damn cgi is 12/10.

Because the pirate lord nonsense was nonsense and had no place in an adventure film about pirates.

Weta Digital is almost as good, but not quite.

Geoffrey Rush was having so much fun with these movies that it rubs off on the viewer.

I thought most people hated the 3rd movie because it took half the fucking runtime to actually get to Depp?

>half the fucking runtime to actually get to Depp

I don't see how that's the problem. He died in 2 after all, so it's best to build up his reappearance.

And yet he was still the main character in all the posters

They know what they are and embrace it without lampshading, insulting the audience, or cramming in some bullshit message.

It's fun adventure where family-friendly doesn't translate to lazy, phoned in gags.
>>
>>72111361
I loved how they just went absolutely fucking nuts with so many betrayals and twists that the characters themselves got confused about who to point their guns at.

Normally I hate that lack of restraint, but I thought it worked here.
