Jacks defining moment is when he gives up immortality, something he’s wanted throughout the series, so that Will could live. It shows just how much Jack has come to care for Will and Elizabeth.
If he actually wanted immortality he would have been chill staying a undead pirate in the first movie. Plus the motivation to be immortal only was mentioned in the third movie, so it was not throughout the series
@@bladelord54 but then he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy any human pleasures. And that’s rule one of being a pirate. But immortal at sea for years as captain IS what he wants
This series technically takes place after the Golden Age of Piracy and a few decades before the French-Indian War and American Revolution. It would make sense that Jack feels 'late' in his era and doesn't want to be forgotten.
I wish they left it in, it shows that Jack actually isn't selfish. It's just that after he was betrayed and mutinied he just went a little nuts and has every right to not want to pay up Jones cruel debt.
With Davy Jones in the bucket, if you look closely you can see several buckets behind him leading to the water. Explains how he got there visually, which is a nice change from the constant exposition.
Thank you very much, good sir. When I watched him saying that, I did not go straight to the comments only because I know that it's hard to write a popular comment on a video with that many views. So, he probably wouldn't have even seen it.
@@ИванБорисюк-п7э yeah, I only commented because I watched it 30 mins after upload, so there was still time for new comments to not be buried under heaps of others.
I know Doug doesn't normally cover deleted scenes, but I do wish he had touched on the one with Jack and Beckett where he brings up that Jack became a pirate in the first place because he refused to smuggle slaves, saying "people aren't cargo mate". It adds some honor to his character retroactively and I love Depp's delivery when he says it. Not sure why it was cut tbh since the scene is already way too long anyway lol.
Not sure of the validity to this but I heard that scene was cut because Disney didn't want to be associated with slavery in any of their media, even in such small passing. Whatever the case, it is a shame because I agree that the scene adds so much more weight and depth to the characters that it's hard to imagine the movie without that tidbit of knowledge now that I have it.
@@SchwhatNow Meanwhile, in Aladdin... "He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies." Probably why they change that lyric in the live action version.
@@AmTrFilmsyeah, he’s got… strange tastes sometimes (some might even say pretentious), like his incredibly odd hate-boner for female wailing solos like in Gladiator (a movie which, coincidentally, he also hates)
I thought the beginning, as the Pirates started to sing, was a powerful scene. It was a show of force that despite that they were about to die, they chose to be defiant till the end. Not to mention the song hit the right chord.
It reminds me of a movie called "Quo Vadis" where Roman Emperor Nero has rounded up a crowd of early Christians to torture to death in the arena and, after letting the horror sink in for a minute or two, the audience is given a moment of relief when one of the ill-fated bunch starts a song and the rest carry it on, while they can.
Man this film makes me so grateful for Geoffrey Rush being in these films because no matter what you say about his roles in these films you can not say he isn't trying his ass off to make this films as enjoyable as they can be
@@KeybladeMasterAndy, True. One scene I recall liking in this one was when he and Jack were just talking about the state of pirating and how it was getting smaller. You could really tell the history between the two of them in that scene.
I always took the sudden dark turn the series took as reflecting the real life pirate age. For a long time piracy was an extremely dangerous but exciting life and was highly glamorized by the public but once the world's governments started cracking down on it and removed governors who looked the other way for money and took over the harbors the supported piracy suddenly the perception on them did a 180 and many pirate legends who roamed the seas freely for years were swiftly captured, killed in battle or pardoned and turned pirate hunter
@@ismellmandude6401not him but just some general knowledge on the golden age of privacy should help you. At first pirates were private contractors who worked for England or France and Spain to attack the other side in the war they had. Then after the war they all outlawed piracy but from around 1715- 1725 was there hey days
@@jackj9816 Another key change happened in 1718 when a mass pardon was offered to pirates. A lot of pirates took the pardon but would later relapse back into piracy again, but as a result of trying to go straight they now had drastically downsized crews. Early in 1718 Blackbeard was at the height of his power with a flotilla of 4 ships and a crew of 300-400, but then he took the pardon and less then a month later returned to piracy with a crew of a few dozen at most. Jack Rackham took the pardon but went back to being a pirate in 1720 with a crew of just 12 men and 2 women. Pirate power was very much on the way out.
I fucking love the scene where they bring in The Code. The characters are mostly silent, the music gives it that "ancient/sacred item" vibe. Even Elizabeth, who has only ever heard stories or mentions of the code such as parlay, can clearly tell that summoning the Code is a major deal.
The fan remake of the MMO (The Legend of Pirates Online) even adds its own bit of lore to the code. There's a secretive guild that enforces the code's rules that even the most insane pirates wouldn't dare to mess with. They live on an island hidden by powerful magic and have members planted all over the Caribbean.
I actually enjoyed most of At World's End , especially the opening scene! Yeah it was too long, especially Jack's rescue but Beckett walking the deck as his ship blows apart is a terrific set piece. Beckett himself IS a good villain precisely because he's the kind of officious beaurocrat who thinks nothing of hanging common folk just for knowing pirates..
The scene where they find the Kraken has a poignancy to it as it’s reflected on that the pirate age is closer to its end than they realised. Had this been the last film it’d have been a thematically resonant conversation, and could have given Jack the decision of going out as a pirate despite the changing world or admitting he didn’t fit in anymore.
Kinda like Dutch Van Der Linde from the Red Dead Redemption series. An outlaw in the mid-west running from a changing world until he can run no more, lamenting that the age of the Outlaw is over he jumps off a cliff to his death. Its unlikely we'll get something like this for Jack (since the whole Disney siding with Amber Heard thing), at least we got Barbosa's redemption in POTC 5.
It’s kinda why I like how jack and Barbossa are portrayed as in dead men tell no tales despite it being the least liked. Jack seen as a lazy drunk and losing his crew cuz of bad luck and Barbossa settling down with his riches shows that they are the last of the few remaining pirates Barbossa especially. He asks the witch to curse his enemies as he is getting older and doesn’t have the strength to fight and conquer ships as much as he used to plus he isn’t immortal anymore. And when the curse was lifted all he wanted was to feel things, eat apples, enjoy luxury and the finer things in life etc. He could’ve retired on land but he wanted to die a pirate at sea. Jack is well Jack and his crew and Henry were right. He was losing his spark and that’s when he gave up his compass for a drink. A drink he sadly didn’t have as it was shot out of his hands and he was arrested. Jack was willingly gonna accept his fate and not try to escape until Henry came along and told him of the trident.
I will agree that the Hanging scene is very jarring and an odd way to start the film, but... Still... You have to admit the use of Hoist the Colors is extremely chilling. Also, they do show how they got Davy Jones in the bucket, it's just a very subtle detail. If you really watch the scene there are multiple small buckets leading up to the big one, so... Yeah. That's how they got him in the bucket. He walked through the other buckets.
Agreed Even when I saw it in the theater as a kid, I was like “What just happened? LOL But yeah I still liked the film, despite the flaws (it is a bit too long, the kraken is too easily defeated, and it does jam a bit too much in)
I've always felt Keith Richards as Jack's dad is one of the best parts of this movie, and they should have given him a bigger role. It explains so much about Jack's character. His mannerisms to start, and growing up with this super strict hardass pirate judge Dredd who enforces the pirate code as absolute law for a father really explains why Jack just wants to be free and follow his own rules. Some actual interactions between these two would have been awesome.
Also shows why it’s hard for Jack to do the right thing. At first he thought the right thing was not to be a pirate like his dad and join the navy. Then he tried doing the right thing by refusing to transport slaves and Beckett then marked him as a pirate and sunk his ship along with Jack which is when he makes the deal with Davy Jones. It’s why he isnt very trustworthy as people around him weren’t either
there was a cut scene between beckett and Jack sparrow where it's implied that Jack was labeled a pirate for freeing an entire ship of slaves Jack was hired to bring to Beckett. It doesn't do much for the overall plot, but it does give extra context for their history and the fact that Jack really is an honorable and just person deep down.
About that Beckett criticism. I think I know what they were going for. Beckett is the East India Company given flesh. It's really hammered home in that deleted scene with Jack. He literally says how he views how the world runs on trade, and that people are happy to be numbers on forms. In all fairness, if you didn't enjoy Beckett, that's totally valid, but I like how he's less a person and more an extension of a ruthlessly capitilistic and imperialist institution.
Yep. His criticism of how Beckett sounds like the kid who got to play a new game first misses it entirely. That’s *exactly* what Beckett is supposed to be: the snobby, uptight rich boy who just wants to be in control
If there’s one thing I will give this movie credit for, it’s Hans Zimmer’s musical score. It’s absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite movie scores of all time.
I was just about to say the same. The one thing people forget about this movie is that it has what I personally consider the best soundtrack of all 5 Pirates movies. Hans Zimmer was all in on this one and it shows. The music is definitely one of this movie's strength.
Hot take: This is my favorite Pirates movie. I couldn't care less whether a trilogy was planned from the beginning or not, I still feel that they ended up creating a great buildup and payoff w/ this one Edit: Guess this isn’t as much of a hot take as I thought. Awesome to see plenty of others who also loved this movie!
@@thedinosaurdiscovery I figured it would be w/ how many people don’t like it, especially Doug, but it’s nice to know it’s got more fans than I realized
@@phillies3454 i think it's the weakest of the OG three but, over all, "So Ok it's average". Then again, i also think that the Hobbit movies aren't AS bad as they are often made up to be,especially since i can't help but include the troubled production as an excuse, and the fact that Smaug'sprobably the best movie dragon yet. I have my issues with them, but i can watch them without trying to tear my hair out.
This is my personal favorite of the Pirates sequels and I never really got why so many people didn’t like it, let alone have it be the butt of so many gags. Every time I view it, I always have a blast.
I agree! I definitely see where the criticism is coming from in this video, but that doesn't change how captivated I get with the movie whenever I watch it.
Fun Fact: The day Keith Richards came in to film his scenes, he got so drunk on set that Gore Verbinski had to prop him up. Richards remarked, "If you wanted straight, then you got the wrong man."
"The day Keith Richards graced yer film set with 'is presence, was the greatest day of yer life. But fer me, it was Tuesday. I think. I don't keep track o' time like normal people."
I interpreted the scene with Elizabeth's speech to be just as awkward for the pirates as it was for us, until Mr. Gibbs says those simply words, "The wind's at our backs, boys. That's all we need!" which is a thousand times more encouraging, somehow.
I remember watching this in theaters thinking the end fight was quite clever. At one point you had the chest, the key, Bootstrap's knife, Jack's broken sword, Norrington's sword, Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Bootstrap and Jones all in one place. Literally any number of things could have happened with that combination. For a fleeting moment there, the movie wasn't predictable at all.
I dont think you ever could’ve predicted anything at any point in the first viewing Couldnt have predicted elizabeths arc at all Maybe will taking over the dutchmen Not barbosa with the pearl and jack with a tiny boat Not the calypso and davy jones plot Not the pirate lords Love every second and how complex and simple it all is at the same time
Deleted Scene: One lengthy sequence showing Governor Swann learning about Davy Jones' heart. Swann would’ve attempted to stab Jones’s heart after one taunt too many, and Jones would gleefully explain the cost of doing so, and convincing Swann to stand down. This scene appeared in the novelization, and most of it was completed bar most of the effects on Jones, suggesting it was cut rather late in development. An extended conversation between Jack and Beckett, where it would be revealed that Beckett had contracted Jack to ferry some cargo-which turned out to be slaves. When Jack freed them, Beckett responded by branding him and sinking the Black Pearl. This explains why Jack had to raise the Pearl from the depths in the first place.
@@darthcinema4262but sadly since the novel was a junior novelization it left on a weird cliffhanger where it ends when Elizabeth gives her speech before the final battle starts
The reason why Beckett didn't fire the Cannons was because it would be completely out of character for him! He threatens people with dialogue tension and bargains. When Beckett realized he literally had nothing left after the battle with Davy Jones, there was nothing he could do to get out of the situation against Jack, Elizabeth and will. Beckett's weapons are his words not actual weapons or swords.
My take is first he was a bit shell shocked and like many captains/leaders just froze because the moment was too much and yes I think he was intelligent enough to realize he’d been completely outmaneuvered and beaten so resisting was quite literally pointless I 100% agree he was given a dramatic over the top death he absolutely didn’t deserve.
Also Fun Fact: While in Davy Jones's Locker, Jack Sparrow tries to logically prove that Will can't be real, finishing with "Q.E.D., you're not really here!" QED is a Latin acronym for "Quod Erat Demonstrandum", literally meaning "what was to be shown". It is often used at the end of an argument to say "and thus has been demonstrated". During his monologue to the Pirate Brethren Court, Jack employs a combination of two Latin phrases used in law. "Res ipsa loquitur" literally means "The thing speaks for itself", and is used when the circumstances are so obvious that they need no further evidence or explanation. "Tabula in naufragio" literally means "A plank in a shipwreck", and relates to priorities in loans and mortgages provided by separate lenders, such that the third mortgagee obtains the first mortgage, thus squeezing out the second mortgagee's priority for debt satisfaction. Metaphorically, it refers to the last option that may prevent failure or catastrophe in dire straits.
And it wasn't even consistent with previous answers to the same questions. The writers even said in an interview that Will was freed of the curse because he fulfilled the role faithfully. Which isn't what either that pamphlet or even the later films go with. That should tell you something.
@@stephenjarvis534Davy Jones did also. It’s just that calypso didn’t show up that screwed him over and then he gave up his duties and became the monster he was in the movies
4:22, the end of the last one was the protagonist going down the gullet of a sea monster and the tritagonist convinced she’s a murderer for having killed him and with the main villain gaining control of the MacGuffin and with it the sea. Given that it ended with a villain victory it makes sense that the sequel has a dark beginning to show that that means something
At World's End was always my favorite POTC film of the first 3. Watched it so much as a kid. Still enjoy watching it to this day. Love how they kill Cutler Beckett. The Malstrom battle is my favorite battle
Yeah, like... who really hated this movie aside from the Simpsons writers? I never understood that joke and now I suddenly realized it wasn't a joke, but I've never really read a bad review or met someone who didn't like this move. What's going on?
12:52, Elizabeth’s reason was that she felt guilty about killing him and Will’s was that he thought Elizabeth loved him. The ones who actually missed him retain their motivation
@@Cloud-dt6xb Well, that is how it's done in the movie. The only ones who raised their hands were Pintel, Ragetti (wooden eye guy), Marty (the midget) and the Monkey.
Pirates is one of the few original Disney properties that hasn't been "baby-fied" yet. OG Disney used to be so good because it wasn't afraid to show kids dark and scary imagery. Even when they try to do that now, like with Monstro in the Pinocchio 2022 movie. They tried to make it look scary but it ended up looking more like something from Shark Tale
And also keep in mind the choreography of Jack and Davy Jones's swordfight. They are on the ship's mast, Jack is clearly at a disadvantage as he LITERALLY has his hand full of Davy Jones's heart, and he's still holding his own. That is not easy to pull off!
Fr the way Davy Jones kills mercer is wild and sorta erotic but I love how Disney didn’t use to hold back on things like that (except for not wanting slavery in their media which is why they cut out “people aren’t cargo, mate”)
The closest we ever got to stuff like that nowadays is a child getting stabbed through the chest in Amphibia, and even that was undone later. Disney has lost its balls....
Imma just say this: the climax is perhaps the best action scene I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched and even imitated some of the lines from that scene because it is that memorable
Beckett's a great villain. He's not supposed to be charismatic, funny or even particularly threatening and that's the genius of his character. He's a terrifyingly accurate portrayal of a psychopath, an evil man whom you wouldn't be able to pick out in a crowd because he seems so normal and even boring. Psychopaths are often people that you barely notice unless you're directly interacting with them and that's why they're so dangerous. They have absolutely no empathy whatsoever, which is what differentiates them from sociopaths, who don't have much empathy but still have the ability to connect with and even care about other people. Another thing about psychopaths is that they don't know how to process intense emotional responses because they're so used to viewing the world through a cold, detached and emotionless perspective. This is emphasised in Beckett's final moments where he doesn't know how to process the fact that his life is about to end. He's one of the most underrated villains in cinematic history and it's BECAUSE he seems so boring until one does their research on psychopathy.
The problem with him and other villains of his type though is that every scene featuring them is boring. We already know everything we need to know about them so their scenes only exist to drive the plot forward or act as motivation for other characters. Almost like a living McGuffin that could be anything.
Always took him as being lawful evil, he might take a small pleasure in his acts but overall he's just doing what he thinks needs to be done to maintain control and end the pirate age as ordered. And he's a great reflection of how many people view their government, unemotional and unsympathetic, just doing its job in what it believes is the most efficient manner and if a few people get hurt along the way 🤷🏽♂️ the ends justify the means
Men,do not worry. Soon he will regret his decision to Talk and pirates like that. When he watches number 4 he will wish he was nice to pirates, he will realize that the previous movies where fun and had good plot and character. He will learn to like it.Because of course, the only way to make someone know the value about something, is to take it away
@@TripleR3D I don't understand it too! It sounded like he was criticizing 2 and 3 films for becoming deeper, darker and more complicated! I don't understand why it's bad. Any story that is not ment for one film only of course need to become more complicated just to fill the time of the films with some storytelling. In my personal opinion it would be much better if they've made a series or more than 2 films just with the story of second and third films. Then it would be enough time to maybe add some flashbacks of Davy Jones and Calipso past, or give Will and Elizabeth relationship more explanation like why they couldn't speak to eachother so many times to solve some misunderstandings or even add some flashbacks of Jack past! Like i still don't understand why they've cut this famous deleted episode of Jack and Beckett's talk with explanation why they know eachother and how Jack became a pirate!😡
Another Fun Fact from this swashbuckling film is: According to Gore Verbinski, the Singapore scenes were intended to parody spa culture. A naturally humid atmosphere was achieved with a careful combination of lighting equipment and gallons of water, and fungi were allowed to grow within the set, to enhance the mood.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say this was the worst of this series. before this video. Personally, this is my second favorite behind the first one.
Agreed, no idea where Critic got this notion from. Sure, it’s widely considered a significant step down from 1 and 2, but that’s better than 4 which bored most people to tears, and 5 was basically met with, “it’s a film that…..exists.” I dunno, Critic has odd takes on general consensus sometimes, like when he claimed the only people who enjoyed Event Horizon were “jocks”. Like, what?
Exactly, I’ve never heard anyone hate this or any movie after the first except for stranger tides and dead man tell no tales Edit: honestly, I couldn’t even finish watching it. I really don’t agree with anything he says about it
I'm so glad that a lot of people can say that they enjoyed the movie and not getting angry about the criticism. Honestly it's an improvement for the Internet
Jack Sparrow has one of the coolest background stories for a pirate. The reason he became a pirate is awesome. The reason he was branded a pirate is awesome. ("People aren't cargo, mate.") The reason the "Black Pearl" is fully black is awesome. To bad it is never fully explained in the movies and you have to watch the deleted scenes to find this out. -.-
@@jackj9816 Yes. Jack refused to transport the „cargo“ (aka slaves) and instead he set them all free. For that he was branded a pirate & his ship („The Wicked Wench“) was set on fire. Then Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to get her back. When the ship returned it was fully black because of the fire & was then renamed „The Black Pearl“. So basically, Jack got branded a pirate for not being a terrible human being.
OK so I watched this movie in high school and I loved it. Mostly the action scenes in the end with all the ships battling each other jack versus Davy in the rain. It was all beautiful I only just heard recently that apparently a lot of people didn’t like this one but to each their own.
It's honestly kinda impressive when you watch some of the behind the scenes clips. They actually did build 2 giant ships inside a studio where they poured mountains of rain at dozens of ballsy stunt doubles actually swinging on ropes
Honestly, this is my single favourite movie of all time. it's long, it has a bunch of characters, it feels epic, I personally feel it caps off the trilogy very well, and all the complaints they have here I just don't think are valid criticisms. all the 'this doesn't make sense' stuff is like....yeah it does. It makes sense well enough, no idea what you're talking about.
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 I love the blooper of Barbossa talking to the giant Calypso. It would've been fun if they had actually put that in the movie.
I think what annoys me the most about At World's End is this: the finale SEEMS to build up to a large sea battle... and then, it's Pearl VS Dutchman, and then Dutchman and Peal VS HMS Endeavour... and the Endeavour isn't even allowed to let loose her mighty broadsides... And really, I'd rather watch 3 than 4 or 5.
I think they were pushing the idea that if there was a large sea battle, the pirates would have been catastrophically routed. After the battle in the maelstrom, though, they end up with not one, but two magical ships on their side.
@@Tylendal242 After the maelstrom and the end of Endeavour, the rest just buggered off. Could've had the rest as background fight and such, while Pearl and Dutchman fight in the Maelstrom. Then, Pearl and Dutchman team up on the Endeavour, just as she's about to take out one of the Pirate Lord ships. On what ship was Jack's dad again?
This movie is like the epitome of "that sign won't stop me because I don't care." meme because you can tell me ANY flaw in this movie and my immediate response is "I don't care." "Hey the movie can be over indulgent in some scenes." yeah don't care. "Hey there are WAY too many subplots." I don't care. "The movie is too lore heavy." I don't fcking care. Sorry. The movie has one of the greatest action sequences in all of cinema history that allows Jack Sparrow to be FULLY Jack, the set design is incredible, the music is god tier, the CGI on Davy Jones still slaps, and there are so many good setup and payoff moments-DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA CARE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THE PLOT WHEN I'M BEING ENTERTAINED?! lol
Honestly this one is my favorite of all the movies. There was a more serious tone, which made sense while Jack wasn’t around. Honestly, I keep coming back for the final battle between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. That battle is my favorite scene in any POTC movie.
IMO the darkest scenes was the opening, and Elizabeth finding out her father died. I know the first two had dark scenes, but this one took the cake. Even 4&5 which I still kind of like to a degree felt less dark than this one
Honestly, its still my favourite of the Pirate-Sequels. Yes, its incredibly overlong, often devoid of logic, and sometimes bloated beyond belief - buts its also just so FUN. The entire singapore-sequence, the Battle in the Maelstrome etc are all incredibly entertaining setpieces. Calypso & Davy Jones are a legitimately fascinating set of characters together (honestly they should have made a prequel about those two rather then another two sequels if Im honest). And finally, as stilted and awkward the Attempts to "connect" the three films into one cohesive big storyline sometimes were, the (sadly cut from the Final movie) discussion between Jack and Beckett and the reveals it brings are *mastefully* done. It connects SO many dots masterfully - Jacks behaviour, the Pearl, where the deal with Jones came from and why, Jacks ideals AND reinforces the "Jones became a Monster physically because he acted cruelly"-plot. Its perfect, and it makes me all the more mad the 5th One completely retconned and ruined it.
@@10tailedbijuu ret·con /ˈretˌkän/ noun A piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency. Basically, Jack's backstory was originally established in the 3rd movie but was deleted was completely changed in the 5th one, making it not canon.
@@10tailedbijuu according to a delete scene from this movie, Jack initially was just a trader. He became a pirate kind of by accident, when the East-India trading company hired him to deliver a Cargo of 100 African Slaves to the colonies. Jack couldnt bring it over himself to do it and freed them, and when he went back to explain, Beckett had him branded as a Pirate and burned his ship down. Jack, in despair, then made a deal with Davy Jones to bring his ship back. Thats why the Pearl is black (from the fire), and why Jones is asking for 100 souls as payment for raising it - one soul for every slave Jack freed.
@@ironvader502@ironvader502 F*, it makes so much sense! I curse those people who decided to delete this awesomely logical episode! I think all the questions about sudden and out of nowhere Jack's decisions can be explained perfectly through this deleted backstory! F* those managers who deleted this for the sake of creating another sequel or prequel or whatever! F* their greed!
@@ironvader502F*, this deleted episode feels like the final piece of a puzzle! I always wondered why Jack is so different from other pirates ever since the first film when he didn't kill Will, and this episode just from a description explains everything perfectly and amazingly logical! That's because he isn't a pirate inside! He is a pirate because of the circumstances, not because he wanted to rob and kill rich people. Just like Will! And this adds another layer to their relationship to eachother and other characters.
Im shocked people hated this film. This was my fave of the pirates movie, with a sort of liveliness to it and while yeah some parts were boring, I overall liked it and enjoyed the payoff for so many things@
This one was okay, Dead Man's Chest was my personal favorite. The whole backstabbing/double crossing bit before the finale kind of muddled the plot for me
I actually love all the talking. This movie is basically taking half a dozen characters with different goals, and then they spend the entire movie's run time desperately making alliances, breaking alliances, making deals, backstabbing, whatever, to further their own goals. The fact that so many of their goals intersect, or tend to be in the interests of others just makes it even more fascinating.
I will confess that this was my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean film. As a Tolkienist, I like long stories with lots of lore. I think I'm also drawn to it because we get to see pirates from around the world. Prior to this, the only film with non-European pirates I think I saw was The Swiss Family Robinson from 1960. I still get chills from the "hoist the colors" scene (from before the battle, but also the song at the begining). I did hear a story that during the filming of this film, they were off the coast of Somalia and some of the main cast were almost kidnapped by Somali pirates (the irony-almost kidnapped by pirates while making a pirate movie). So when it came time to start filming for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the filmmakers chose to film in Hawaii for two reasons: A. the beauty of Hawaii made for a great filming location B. proximity to a major US navy base. Pearl Harbor is still the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet.
That is why I don’t hate the 4th film as much as others do. Sure it has some flaws and weird plot elements, but the Hawaiian scenery was beautiful, same with the cinematography. Visiting Hawaii is on my bucket list as well
It’s pretty wholesome coming on here and hearing that what I thought was a hot take (finding this an extremely fun and epic movie and great ending to the trilogy) is a sentiment shared by many! They’ve started… singing.
I love the fact that the pirate city is just a massive pile of pirate ships stacked ontop of one another, it's so simple yet so ingenious. Could've been normal buildings or just a ton of tents, or a Massive ship, but no, it's just a complete cluster f*** of ships. it's awesome!
Something cool I heard once was that Jack saying he had the key was his way of finding out where the key was. Jack is a genius who goes out of his way to make people think is an idiot so that he can manipulate them. He needed the key, but he didn't know where it was. By saying he had the key, he tricked Jones into showing him where the key was. And sure enough, a couple minutes later Jack has the key.
This movie wasn’t really THAT bad, I didn’t mind at all, and my favorite part was with Jack ridding the Black Pearl down a sand dune. And Beckett’s epic slow motion explosion death!
Fun fact: what Calypso is saying when she was released is "Malfaiteur en Tombeau, Crochir l'Esplanade, Dans l'Fond d'l'eau" which roughly translates as "Across all the seas, find the path to he who wrongfully entombed me"
I've always wondered why Elisabeth couldn't join William. It's said only the dead or the dying could basically join the crew, but if so I bet Elisabeth wouldn't mind getting stabbed now would she? And how come Bill could join after the curse was lifted? Hope we'll ever be able to get an answer to this
hot take comin in: world's end is my favourite pirates film. the story while too serious for some really hooked me in, the visuals were (at the time) amazing like the down is up scene or the pirate lords meeting area, jack is as funny and lovable as ever (debatably more so) and the idea of the navy controlling Davey freaking jones is such a terrifyingly cool idea. while people may hate this film I will defend it to my dying breath.
This movie aged perfectly. It has more depth and complexity than most blockbuster films nowdays. It actually feels like a danger to the Pirate age of the 1700. Has beautiful great scenes, has a Shakespeare-like love between Calypso and Davy Jones. It's fantastic.
I agree, don't see why the hate is for. It was bigger than what came before it, higher stakes and tried many new ideas and had a longer run time for that reason, it's not like it tried to cram all the stuff in an 1:30 like many modern movies with too much plot.
@@Double-R-Nothingyou can also see that the others ships are scratched and a bit broken as there are some of enemies ship destroyed on the background. But is easy to miss
I liked cutler beckets character, the man child who thinks his status gives him invincibility. Also the shot of him walking down the steps is one of the iconic images of the franchise
Wow Doug really doesn't understand the Pirates movies. It's true that at the time it was considered as somewhat disappointing but never bad. I highly think this one is extremely underrated. All three of them are classics in my opinion and a masterclass in blockbuster filmaking especially the second one. Filmento channel really delves deep into what makes them so great and the recent two sequels just disappointing.
Catharsis Factor: There's a huge vibe seeing *Lord Beckett and HMS Endeavour getting absolutely massacred by the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman* after all the horrific atrocities he had committed in both the previous movie and this one.
On the topic of Calypso, years ago a group of pirates, later to be called the Pirate Lords, decided that the seas were getting to dangerous to sail and so sought out Calypso and using their "pieces of eight" sealed her in a physical form as Tia Dalma and in doing so calmed the seas. By the time of the movie because the seas are so easy to sail those who do not sail for a love of the sea but only for the sake of exploiting it, like the East Indian Trading Company, have gained to much control over it, so Barbossa's plan was to gather the Pirate Lords and free Calypso so that once again the sea would be for those who loved it alone. But as the sea is uncaring and as such fair, Calypso could not simply destroy the EIT Co. for the pirates but instead put them in a situation where they could reclaim the seas themselves.
I'm a simple man, I see Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa, and I instantly liked the movie. If they were really trying to keep building this world and be intereste on make actual good movies instead of milking the golden cow, they could easily have made spin off movies about many of their characters, like Barbosa, Davy Jones, Will and Elizabeth, even Jack's father or other pirate lords. I'd love to see some of those stories
Ok, I REALLY have a soft spot for this movie. I dunno, something about that final battle in the ocean maelstrom is just awe-inspiring to watch. Also, that opening. Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes…
I absolutely adore the first 3 movies and even the rest have some stuff going for them. Sure the consistence swings but personally I have never been bored with the first 3. This franchise has my favorite set designs out of any movie and I have been dreaming of decorating my home with pirate theme for a long time because of how much I love the wet, rusty and coral tainted ship decor in these movies.
I always wondered if they planned to make this two movies as was the trend in Hollywood at the time, but decided to combine them at the last moment. The first half and second half almost seem like different movies
I've always said that. It makes sense from a plot standpoint, to cut the film in two when they rescue Jack. The previous movie didn't have Barbossa, then we'd have a movie without Jack and a final one with the both of them. But it doesn't make sense from a marketing standpoint, because nobody would like to see a full Pirates of the Caribbean movie without the most popular character, Jack.
Hollywood wasn't splitting movies into multiple parts at that time. That trend caught on in 2010 when Harry Potter did it, but this movie came out a little before that in 2007.
I went and saw this with my mum at the cinema back in 2007. To this day she insists that the cinema felt colder in the scenes when they are in the arctic, but I think it was just her imagination ;) I like this more than the second one, even though it really is bloated and overlong. It has got some great moments like the fighting in Singapore and the battle at the end. I also love the reunion between Jones and Calypso. A few of the deleted scenes I think would have improved the story if they had kept them, like the one where we learn that Becket once hired Jack to deliver a shipment of slaves but he freed them instead, leading to him being branded a pirate. There is a scene where Governor Swan tries to kill Jones but is stopped by Norrington, who then learns she is still alive and Swan tells Beckett he no longer wants to work with him. That's why he was killed off originally (it always gets me the way he says "I think I am", because it implies that he never saw it coming)
I actually like this one a lot. I'm not saying it is a flawless masterpiece, you point out some legitimate dumb parts, but overall I think it is way better than people give it credit.
@@BillPlunderbonesTew8 I thought the ending to 5 was really cheesy. Everything just worked out too well. I’d be more happy to see Will and Elizabeth reunite if they had more screen time.
Can we just talk about how AMAZING the music is in these movies, btw ? I think the soundtrack of PotC 3 is the most amazing movie score of all time, period. It's Hans Zimmer best work.
I'm glad to finally hear someone else say Elizabeth should have ended up on the Dutchman at the end. There are five or six possible endings I would have considered acceptable - I think Jack should have been on it too, for one - but in my opinion there's no question that the ending they had built up to was Elizabeth and Will on the Dutchman together forever, and neither one of them ever sets foot on land again.
I'm gonna have a VERY unpopular opinion here, I absolutely love this movie! Honestly, I like it as much as the 1st film. It is one of a few movies where I could not feel it's run time, the 3rd act is one of the best final battles I've ever seen that rivals Lord of the Rings ( Yes it would have been really cool to see the 2 armies of ships duke it out all at once, but I'm easily satisfied with the maelstrom), and it just feels so epic. Would I prefer a movie with Jack just going on a simple adventure, obviously. But for what we got, I really goddamn enjoyed it.
I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. People love the second and third movies, but for some reason the Critic keeps saying that people think they're the worst movies in the series. I think they're easily the best.
Pirates and Matrix are similar in so many ways: a game changer first movie, overly convoluted sequels, decently satisfying ending in the third one. Despite all their misses, Will captaining the Flying Dutchman and Neo ascending are appropriate endings for their respective franchises
@@mihaimercenarul7467 yikes, this film is entertaining throughout. Sorry you suck, but the whole film is fine. Tell me one scene that is painful to watch, please.
The thing that fucking KILLS me about this. Is that Elizabeth being the Pirate Queen COULD have worked. She showed cunning and cleverness from the first movie, they easily could've had her go through a Mulan-like transformation where over months of trying to find Will she grew stronger and stronger and became a badass pirate. But instead, we skip over all of that, and it just feels so unearned. . .
I followed this movies plot when I was 12 years old, listened intently to every conversation, knew what was happening throughout, and remained entertained. How could grown adults not follow this?
It's the same with the Star Wars Prequels. One of the most pathetic things about adults who suffer from the Dunning Kruger effect is that they assume that children are as stupid as they are.
i guess as a kid we tend to overlook some things (like lenght) and dontcare about getting to the meat of it because whe pay attention on parts adults overlook
@@lShadowdark it is actiony movie, I will never understand why people need to be intellectionary stimulated in order to enjoy a movie, especially a a fun action romp.
I might’ve been a dumber kid than you. At 12 I wasn’t fully sure of what was going on all the time. There was noticeably a lot more dialogue based exposition in this than the last two movies. Maybe it was because I was watching it on TV at the time with commercial breaks in between, but all that exposition dialogue just blends together when there’s so much of it. That scene with Jack, Beckett, Will and Sao Fang making multiple deals together was essentially hard for me to follow. Even as an adult it felt like the information was zipping by at lightning speeds. Despite all this I overall found at worlds end to be enjoyable. The climax though...ehhh
12:00-12:05 Interesting fact about that "green flash at sundown"; this is an actual observed meteorological phenomenon sometimes referred to as "Neptune's Wink". When the Sun is on the very cusp of the horizon before its completed setting, there is a brief moment where the visible spectrum of sun-light shifts to a band of green.
One of the most growing mysteries I ever had about this movie was "how did Davy Jones get on dry land?!" was finally solved just before Critic asked it. Maybe because I watching it up close on my computer instead of on a bigger screen but I FINALLY noticed the buckets behind Davy Jones 🤣 *facepalms* welp.....that only took me half my life....
You see, Iv'e allways seen Beckett as a cool strategist (like Shikamaru) but so full of himself that he actually tried to catch fishs too big for his net (Davy and Jack). The thing is, the BR dub is soo good that this character is too much fun to watch in portuguese.
I love how 90% of the comments are disregarding Doug's childish criticism and actually enjoying and praising the film in unison, Love to see people come together like this
22:40 Fun fact that pirate was actually based off of a real life pirate named Zheng Yi Sao who was one of the most powerful pirates in history she had a fleet of around 400 ships and had around 40,000 pirates working for her.
So, deleted scenes time. The conversation between Becket and Jack originally revealed how they knew eacho other, Becket hired Jack to transport some cargo(slaves) but Jack betrays him, resulting in him being branded a pirate as he saves the people. The people he saved are all the people in the swamp we see at the end of the second film
Also Beckett punished Jack by having Jack's ship destroyed/sank since ship was actually Beckett ship Jack grew attached it which Beckett mocked its just a ship and explains why Jack made deal with Jones to rise the ship from the depth and Jack renames the ship the Black Pearl
The “not particularly liked by audiences” honestly surprised me cause i think this is the best one,so do basically all my friends. I really don’t get the hate it recieves
It's a suprise because contray to Doug's apparent belief that he thinks is right, people DID enjoy the movie and even people that did'nt turned around on it too. Also some of the kids who watched it are now old enough to give their own opinions on it too.
Yeah idk most people either say its the best or the second best film in the series. I guess Doug's basing it on his own friend groups opinions and the audience score ratings when the film was released but that could have easily been from series fatigue
Eh. I liked it when I last saw it in theaters, but it's definitely not the best one. It's the most convoluted Pirates movie. Also nobody messes with my peanut 😊
There's no way this is the worst Pirates movie. The tone may be a bit dark and the runtime long, but it is PACKED with memorable scenes! You still remember the little boy at the gallows singing, the mission in Singapore, Jack going mad in the locker, seeing the dead Kraken on the beach, Jones and Tia Dalma's reunion, the Brethren Court, Will replacing Jones, Beckett becoming the filling for a cannonball sandwich... At World's End gave lore to the Pirates franchise. It turned a simple story into a legend in a mythology. Curse of the Black Pearl will always be my favorite, but this movie is EPIC! If you want the worst Pirates movie, watch Stranger Tides again. I've seen that movie twice, and I keep forgetting what happens in it. Something about mermaids, and Vernon Dursley being a king...

It may have its flaws but I still enjoy it.
Have fun in Dublin Doug, I hope they ask you to review more leprechaun movies!
This is Johnny Depp how are you liking "pirates month" program so far ?
This is my favorite Pirates movie
Jacks defining moment is when he gives up immortality, something he’s wanted throughout the series, so that Will could live. It shows just how much Jack has come to care for Will and Elizabeth.
It is
If he actually wanted immortality he would have been chill staying a undead pirate in the first movie. Plus the motivation to be immortal only was mentioned in the third movie, so it was not throughout the series
@@bladelord54 Well, he kinda wants to ENJOY his immortality. Something that is a bit difficult with the curse.
@@bladelord54 but then he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy any human pleasures. And that’s rule one of being a pirate.
But immortal at sea for years as captain IS what he wants
This series technically takes place after the Golden Age of Piracy and a few decades before the French-Indian War and American Revolution. It would make sense that Jack feels 'late' in his era and doesn't want to be forgotten.
It’s a shame they left the deleted scene with Becket and Sparrow out. It gave some great backstory for how Sparrow was branded as a pirate.
There’s a book with the origins how got Jack how the Black Pearl and how he got his P mark for pirate and he knows Beckett
And also the reason he had to give Davy Jones 100 souls in total right? He saved a hundred slaves?
I wish they left it in, it shows that Jack actually isn't selfish. It's just that after he was betrayed and mutinied he just went a little nuts and has every right to not want to pay up Jones cruel debt.
@@briarrosegael2015 yes that too
@@TheDestroyerX could you share the name of the book if you know it?
With Davy Jones in the bucket, if you look closely you can see several buckets behind him leading to the water. Explains how he got there visually, which is a nice change from the constant exposition.
Yeah as he was ranting about how did Jones get there I was like do you not see all the buckets behind him.
@@Legacyartist yeah, I mean I missed them at first, but I'm surprised he missed them making the video!
Thank you very much, good sir.
When I watched him saying that, I did not go straight to the comments only because I know that it's hard to write a popular comment on a video with that many views. So, he probably wouldn't have even seen it.
@@Legacyartist Yeah haha, I was listening to him talk about it while screaming internally.
@@ИванБорисюк-п7э yeah, I only commented because I watched it 30 mins after upload, so there was still time for new comments to not be buried under heaps of others.
I know Doug doesn't normally cover deleted scenes, but I do wish he had touched on the one with Jack and Beckett where he brings up that Jack became a pirate in the first place because he refused to smuggle slaves, saying "people aren't cargo mate". It adds some honor to his character retroactively and I love Depp's delivery when he says it. Not sure why it was cut tbh since the scene is already way too long anyway lol.
I think the sketch in the beginning was a reference to this scene.
Absolutely agree.
My guess would be some higher-ups told them to cut it.
Not sure of the validity to this but I heard that scene was cut because Disney didn't want to be associated with slavery in any of their media, even in such small passing. Whatever the case, it is a shame because I agree that the scene adds so much more weight and depth to the characters that it's hard to imagine the movie without that tidbit of knowledge now that I have it.
@@SchwhatNow Meanwhile, in Aladdin...
"He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies."
Probably why they change that lyric in the live action version.
To be completely honest I had no idea this movie was hated, I always seen it as the big epic finale of the Pirates series.
Same here
Me too. I never saw any hate for this movie, I even considered it to be second only to the Dead Man's Chest (Which is my favourite).
I think Doug just didn't like it.
@@AmTrFilmsyeah, he’s got… strange tastes sometimes (some might even say pretentious), like his incredibly odd hate-boner for female wailing solos like in Gladiator (a movie which, coincidentally, he also hates)
i was today years old when i found out this movie got hate yeah this movie is confusing in some parts but is a lot of fun
The kraken floating in a tiny boat is absolutely sending me.
Kudos to whoever thought of that.
And what part was that please give me a time Stamp
@@nonaerenada 1:28
Where were you sent to?
I didn’t even notice the tiny boat at first 😅
@@GandlingNecrolord Davy Jones' Locker.
I thought the beginning, as the Pirates started to sing, was a powerful scene. It was a show of force that despite that they were about to die, they chose to be defiant till the end. Not to mention the song hit the right chord.
That song had a LOT of power, was pretty impressive scene imo
To me it gave the pirate a more mythical feel like all the ghost stories they used to tell were true
I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it! (Dirt)
It reminds me of a movie called "Quo Vadis" where Roman Emperor Nero has rounded up a crowd of early Christians to torture to death in the arena and, after letting the horror sink in for a minute or two, the audience is given a moment of relief when one of the ill-fated bunch starts a song and the rest carry it on, while they can.
@@Sonic1991-z9h You: *Falls down steps!*
😂😂😂
Man this film makes me so grateful for Geoffrey Rush being in these films because no matter what you say about his roles in these films you can not say he isn't trying his ass off to make this films as enjoyable as they can be
Agreed. He's one of my favourite Aussie actors :)
He kind of seemed tired in the fifth one.
Fantastic actor
@@KeybladeMasterAndy Fifth one SUCKED!
I can’t blame him
@@KeybladeMasterAndy, True. One scene I recall liking in this one was when he and Jack were just talking about the state of pirating and how it was getting smaller. You could really tell the history between the two of them in that scene.
I always took the sudden dark turn the series took as reflecting the real life pirate age. For a long time piracy was an extremely dangerous but exciting life and was highly glamorized by the public but once the world's governments started cracking down on it and removed governors who looked the other way for money and took over the harbors the supported piracy suddenly the perception on them did a 180 and many pirate legends who roamed the seas freely for years were swiftly captured, killed in battle or pardoned and turned pirate hunter
Mind giving some reading material on this? You seen pretty knowledgeable on the topic.
@@ismellmandude6401not him but just some general knowledge on the golden age of privacy should help you. At first pirates were private contractors who worked for England or France and Spain to attack the other side in the war they had. Then after the war they all outlawed piracy but from around 1715- 1725 was there hey days
@@ismellmandude6401 "Why We Love Pirates" by Rebecca Simon, PHD gives a great overview 😊
@@jackj9816 Another key change happened in 1718 when a mass pardon was offered to pirates. A lot of pirates took the pardon but would later relapse back into piracy again, but as a result of trying to go straight they now had drastically downsized crews. Early in 1718 Blackbeard was at the height of his power with a flotilla of 4 ships and a crew of 300-400, but then he took the pardon and less then a month later returned to piracy with a crew of a few dozen at most.
Jack Rackham took the pardon but went back to being a pirate in 1720 with a crew of just 12 men and 2 women. Pirate power was very much on the way out.
I fucking love the scene where they bring in The Code. The characters are mostly silent, the music gives it that "ancient/sacred item" vibe. Even Elizabeth, who has only ever heard stories or mentions of the code such as parlay, can clearly tell that summoning the Code is a major deal.
The fan remake of the MMO (The Legend of Pirates Online) even adds its own bit of lore to the code. There's a secretive guild that enforces the code's rules that even the most insane pirates wouldn't dare to mess with. They live on an island hidden by powerful magic and have members planted all over the Caribbean.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that! Even as a kid I got chills when the music started. Conveying so much in just a small scene.
I actually enjoyed most of At World's End , especially the opening scene! Yeah it was too long, especially Jack's rescue but Beckett walking the deck as his ship blows apart is a terrific set piece. Beckett himself IS a good villain precisely because he's the kind of officious beaurocrat who thinks nothing of hanging common folk just for knowing pirates..
same
The scene where they find the Kraken has a poignancy to it as it’s reflected on that the pirate age is closer to its end than they realised. Had this been the last film it’d have been a thematically resonant conversation, and could have given Jack the decision of going out as a pirate despite the changing world or admitting he didn’t fit in anymore.
Agree with you there. What was the line they had in that scene?
"The world's not gotten smaller, there's just... less in it."
@@The0wlchemist "The world used ta be ah bigger place."
"The world's still the same, mate. There's just... less in it."
Kinda like Dutch Van Der Linde from the Red Dead Redemption series. An outlaw in the mid-west running from a changing world until he can run no more, lamenting that the age of the Outlaw is over he jumps off a cliff to his death. Its unlikely we'll get something like this for Jack (since the whole Disney siding with Amber Heard thing), at least we got Barbosa's redemption in POTC 5.
It’s kinda why I like how jack and Barbossa are portrayed as in dead men tell no tales despite it being the least liked. Jack seen as a lazy drunk and losing his crew cuz of bad luck and Barbossa settling down with his riches shows that they are the last of the few remaining pirates
Barbossa especially. He asks the witch to curse his enemies as he is getting older and doesn’t have the strength to fight and conquer ships as much as he used to plus he isn’t immortal anymore. And when the curse was lifted all he wanted was to feel things, eat apples, enjoy luxury and the finer things in life etc. He could’ve retired on land but he wanted to die a pirate at sea.
Jack is well Jack and his crew and Henry were right. He was losing his spark and that’s when he gave up his compass for a drink. A drink he sadly didn’t have as it was shot out of his hands and he was arrested. Jack was willingly gonna accept his fate and not try to escape until Henry came along and told him of the trident.
I will agree that the Hanging scene is very jarring and an odd way to start the film, but... Still... You have to admit the use of Hoist the Colors is extremely chilling.
Also, they do show how they got Davy Jones in the bucket, it's just a very subtle detail. If you really watch the scene there are multiple small buckets leading up to the big one, so... Yeah. That's how they got him in the bucket. He walked through the other buckets.
Agreed
Even when I saw it in the theater as a kid, I was like “What just happened? LOL
But yeah I still liked the
film, despite the flaws (it is a bit too long, the kraken is too easily defeated, and it does jam a bit too much in)
I'm actually curious now, what would happen to Jones if he stepped foot on dry land when he wasn't supposed to?
I always thought they just carried him lol.
I've always felt Keith Richards as Jack's dad is one of the best parts of this movie, and they should have given him a bigger role. It explains so much about Jack's character. His mannerisms to start, and growing up with this super strict hardass pirate judge Dredd who enforces the pirate code as absolute law for a father really explains why Jack just wants to be free and follow his own rules. Some actual interactions between these two would have been awesome.
I think a silent cameo would have been awesome!
Also shows why it’s hard for Jack to do the right thing. At first he thought the right thing was not to be a pirate like his dad and join the navy. Then he tried doing the right thing by refusing to transport slaves and Beckett then marked him as a pirate and sunk his ship along with Jack which is when he makes the deal with Davy Jones. It’s why he isnt very trustworthy as people around him weren’t either
there was a cut scene between beckett and Jack sparrow where it's implied that Jack was labeled a pirate for freeing an entire ship of slaves Jack was hired to bring to Beckett. It doesn't do much for the overall plot, but it does give extra context for their history and the fact that Jack really is an honorable and just person deep down.
Best part it was 100 slaves which adds herence to the 100 souls
About that Beckett criticism. I think I know what they were going for. Beckett is the East India Company given flesh. It's really hammered home in that deleted scene with Jack. He literally says how he views how the world runs on trade, and that people are happy to be numbers on forms. In all fairness, if you didn't enjoy Beckett, that's totally valid, but I like how he's less a person and more an extension of a ruthlessly capitilistic and imperialist institution.
Doug has missed points in the past before
Yep. His criticism of how Beckett sounds like the kid who got to play a new game first misses it entirely. That’s *exactly* what Beckett is supposed to be: the snobby, uptight rich boy who just wants to be in control
If there’s one thing I will give this movie credit for, it’s Hans Zimmer’s musical score. It’s absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite movie scores of all time.
The kraken theme from the second movie is one of the coolest villain themes ever in my opinion.
I was just about to say the same. The one thing people forget about this movie is that it has what I personally consider the best soundtrack of all 5 Pirates movies. Hans Zimmer was all in on this one and it shows. The music is definitely one of this movie's strength.
So true! Probably the main reason why I don't dislike the 3rd movie. Its score was so powerful and memorable.
Yeah the music was incredible especially the love theme
"Hoist the Colours" is an awesome music score
Hot take: This is my favorite Pirates movie. I couldn't care less whether a trilogy was planned from the beginning or not, I still feel that they ended up creating a great buildup and payoff w/ this one
Edit: Guess this isn’t as much of a hot take as I thought. Awesome to see plenty of others who also loved this movie!
Not even a hot take
@@thedinosaurdiscovery I figured it would be w/ how many people don’t like it, especially Doug, but it’s nice to know it’s got more fans than I realized
My favorite as well, the one I keep replaying, I think its the scale, its like the epic culmination of the trilogy
I agree with this
@@phillies3454 i think it's the weakest of the OG three but, over all, "So Ok it's average". Then again, i also think that the Hobbit movies aren't AS bad as they are often made up to be,especially since i can't help but include the troubled production as an excuse, and the fact that Smaug'sprobably the best movie dragon yet. I have my issues with them, but i can watch them without trying to tear my hair out.
Although I do miss Tia Dalma’s fun dark comedy, the scene between her and Davey Jones is so perfect.
I love the comedy between Barbossa and Jack in this movie. Bringing back Barbossa was one of the best things these films did.
“ that’s my ship”
“ can’t spot it, must be a tiny thing behind the pearl”
Davey Jones and Calypso's ONE scene together has more emotion and passion than THREE movies worth of Will and Elizabeth
Davy Jones so good
Where’s the Lie
Better love story that not wills son and barbossas daughter in the fifth one.
Bro woke up and choose to speak facts
Well Will and Elisabeth's relationship was pretty interesting in the first movie but then if bacame old, boring and inconsistent.
This is my personal favorite of the Pirates sequels and I never really got why so many people didn’t like it, let alone have it be the butt of so many gags. Every time I view it, I always have a blast.
I agree! I definitely see where the criticism is coming from in this video, but that doesn't change how captivated I get with the movie whenever I watch it.
This is that one movie that I will forgive no matter what, just because it's so fun.
Same!
I like it too. Can see all its problems, but that ending was really fun.
...Ah, screw it. Yeah, I feel the same.
Fun Fact: The day Keith Richards came in to film his scenes, he got so drunk on set that Gore Verbinski had to prop him up. Richards remarked, "If you wanted straight, then you got the wrong man."
🤣
Such a Keith Richards move 🤣
gayyyyy
Where did you hear this?
"The day Keith Richards graced yer film set with 'is presence, was the greatest day of yer life. But fer me, it was Tuesday. I think. I don't keep track o' time like normal people."
I interpreted the scene with Elizabeth's speech to be just as awkward for the pirates as it was for us, until Mr. Gibbs says those simply words, "The wind's at our backs, boys. That's all we need!" which is a thousand times more encouraging, somehow.
I remember watching this in theaters thinking the end fight was quite clever.
At one point you had the chest, the key, Bootstrap's knife, Jack's broken sword, Norrington's sword, Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Bootstrap and Jones all in one place.
Literally any number of things could have happened with that combination.
For a fleeting moment there, the movie wasn't predictable at all.
I dont think you ever could’ve predicted anything at any point in the first viewing
Couldnt have predicted elizabeths arc at all
Maybe will taking over the dutchmen
Not barbosa with the pearl and jack with a tiny boat
Not the calypso and davy jones plot
Not the pirate lords
Love every second and how complex and simple it all is at the same time
Deleted Scene:
One lengthy sequence showing Governor Swann learning about Davy Jones' heart. Swann would’ve attempted to stab Jones’s heart after one taunt too many, and Jones would gleefully explain the cost of doing so, and convincing Swann to stand down. This scene appeared in the novelization, and most of it was completed bar most of the effects on Jones, suggesting it was cut rather late in development.
An extended conversation between Jack and Beckett, where it would be revealed that Beckett had contracted Jack to ferry some cargo-which turned out to be slaves. When Jack freed them, Beckett responded by branding him and sinking the Black Pearl. This explains why Jack had to raise the Pearl from the depths in the first place.
"People aren't cargo, mate"
So basically another case of the novel being even better than the movie.
@@darthcinema4262but sadly since the novel was a junior novelization it left on a weird cliffhanger where it ends when Elizabeth gives her speech before the final battle starts
@@GlitchyHalo Well that's lame. The final battle is easily one of the best parts.
The reason why Beckett didn't fire the Cannons was because it would be completely out of character for him!
He threatens people with dialogue tension and bargains.
When Beckett realized he literally had nothing left after the battle with Davy Jones, there was nothing he could do to get out of the situation against Jack, Elizabeth and will.
Beckett's weapons are his words not actual weapons or swords.
Beckett has character?
I always interpreted it as him realizing it's pointless to fight the Dutchman
My take is first he was a bit shell shocked and like many captains/leaders just froze because the moment was too much and yes I think he was intelligent enough to realize he’d been completely outmaneuvered and beaten so resisting was quite literally pointless
I 100% agree he was given a dramatic over the top death he absolutely didn’t deserve.
He’s just a man who realizes he lost
@@wickedsistah4703 he always did! 😉
Also Fun Fact: While in Davy Jones's Locker, Jack Sparrow tries to logically prove that Will can't be real, finishing with "Q.E.D., you're not really here!" QED is a Latin acronym for "Quod Erat Demonstrandum", literally meaning "what was to be shown". It is often used at the end of an argument to say "and thus has been demonstrated". During his monologue to the Pirate Brethren Court, Jack employs a combination of two Latin phrases used in law. "Res ipsa loquitur" literally means "The thing speaks for itself", and is used when the circumstances are so obvious that they need no further evidence or explanation. "Tabula in naufragio" literally means "A plank in a shipwreck", and relates to priorities in loans and mortgages provided by separate lenders, such that the third mortgagee obtains the first mortgage, thus squeezing out the second mortgagee's priority for debt satisfaction. Metaphorically, it refers to the last option that may prevent failure or catastrophe in dire straits.
Holy fuck dude, that was a fun read! Thank you! I might use some of these phrases myself.
The writing of the trilogy is so freaking good.
I always see the plot holes or flaws in At World’s End but I can’t help but love it. Personally it’s my favorite and I enjoy it for what it is.
Interesting fact: the DVD release came with a pamphlet answering the most asked questions about the movie's plot points. I am dead serious.
And it wasn't even consistent with previous answers to the same questions. The writers even said in an interview that Will was freed of the curse because he fulfilled the role faithfully. Which isn't what either that pamphlet or even the later films go with. That should tell you something.
Are you dead man’s chest serious?
@@stephenjarvis534Davy Jones did also. It’s just that calypso didn’t show up that screwed him over and then he gave up his duties and became the monster he was in the movies
That sounds like something someone would bring on Pawn Stars 😂
4:22, the end of the last one was the protagonist going down the gullet of a sea monster and the tritagonist convinced she’s a murderer for having killed him and with the main villain gaining control of the MacGuffin and with it the sea. Given that it ended with a villain victory it makes sense that the sequel has a dark beginning to show that that means something
At World's End was always my favorite POTC film of the first 3. Watched it so much as a kid. Still enjoy watching it to this day. Love how they kill Cutler Beckett. The Malstrom battle is my favorite battle
Yeah, like... who really hated this movie aside from the Simpsons writers? I never understood that joke and now I suddenly realized it wasn't a joke, but I've never really read a bad review or met someone who didn't like this move. What's going on?
12:52, Elizabeth’s reason was that she felt guilty about killing him and Will’s was that he thought Elizabeth loved him. The ones who actually missed him retain their motivation
Funny how he did'nt show any of them raise their hands.
@@Cloud-dt6xb Well, that is how it's done in the movie. The only ones who raised their hands were Pintel, Ragetti (wooden eye guy), Marty (the midget) and the Monkey.
It is a bad movie Im sorry lol
Ok but what about Gibbs, why didn’t he raise his hand.
@@welcometothemetaverse2523 so three of the people who mutinied against him.
Pirates is one of the few original Disney properties that hasn't been "baby-fied" yet. OG Disney used to be so good because it wasn't afraid to show kids dark and scary imagery. Even when they try to do that now, like with Monstro in the Pinocchio 2022 movie. They tried to make it look scary but it ended up looking more like something from Shark Tale
And also keep in mind the choreography of Jack and Davy Jones's swordfight. They are on the ship's mast, Jack is clearly at a disadvantage as he LITERALLY has his hand full of Davy Jones's heart, and he's still holding his own. That is not easy to pull off!
Fr the way Davy Jones kills mercer is wild and sorta erotic but I love how Disney didn’t use to hold back on things like that (except for not wanting slavery in their media which is why they cut out “people aren’t cargo, mate”)
Honestly, one of my favorite movies of all time. I understand people's qualms with it, but I love it to death.
So you admit that your mother Was wrong to give birth to you
This movie has a little boy being hanged! Imagine that being in another Disney movie! You'd never get away with that nowadays!
2007 Disney was the best
The beginning of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame starts with a guy attempting to drown a baby in a well
Tarzan has two visible dead bodies in a treehouse
The closest we ever got to stuff like that nowadays is a child getting stabbed through the chest in Amphibia, and even that was undone later.
Disney has lost its balls....
I miss those days
Imma just say this: the climax is perhaps the best action scene I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched and even imitated some of the lines from that scene because it is that memorable
But how can you understand let alone imitate Barbossa? xD
Agreed
@@pwnorbepwned Easily: I just scream out anything that sounds piratey and borderline-suicidal without shame and enjoy every second of it.
Beckett's a great villain. He's not supposed to be charismatic, funny or even particularly threatening and that's the genius of his character. He's a terrifyingly accurate portrayal of a psychopath, an evil man whom you wouldn't be able to pick out in a crowd because he seems so normal and even boring. Psychopaths are often people that you barely notice unless you're directly interacting with them and that's why they're so dangerous. They have absolutely no empathy whatsoever, which is what differentiates them from sociopaths, who don't have much empathy but still have the ability to connect with and even care about other people.
Another thing about psychopaths is that they don't know how to process intense emotional responses because they're so used to viewing the world through a cold, detached and emotionless perspective. This is emphasised in Beckett's final moments where he doesn't know how to process the fact that his life is about to end. He's one of the most underrated villains in cinematic history and it's BECAUSE he seems so boring until one does their research on psychopathy.
I never found him boring. I see him as a very effective counterpart to the supernatural Davy Jones.
yeah, turns out lazy writing is actually a work of genius
The problem with him and other villains of his type though is that every scene featuring them is boring. We already know everything we need to know about them so their scenes only exist to drive the plot forward or act as motivation for other characters. Almost like a living McGuffin that could be anything.
Always took him as being lawful evil, he might take a small pleasure in his acts but overall he's just doing what he thinks needs to be done to maintain control and end the pirate age as ordered. And he's a great reflection of how many people view their government, unemotional and unsympathetic, just doing its job in what it believes is the most efficient manner and if a few people get hurt along the way 🤷🏽♂️ the ends justify the means
I agree. I also love how he's just a normal guy with a shitton of power in his hands, which is so threatening
The Kraken's off-screen death is one of the most anticlimactic decisions in cinema.
Ikr! I was so disappointed that the Kraken didn't make a return in the final battle.
Yeah that was pretty lame, it was always a nitpick I had with the film
@@tjjordan4207idk why Beckett made him kill it. Jones has full control of the kraken and Beckett could use that to his advantage
this was a great and funny movie, not that different from the other 2. Personally loved it.
Yeah I really don't understand all the hate he's giving it. The second and third movies are easily the best ones as far as I'm concerned.
@@TripleR3D I agree. The last two are the bad ones as far as I'm concerned.
I like this movie
Men,do not worry.
Soon he will regret his decision to
Talk and pirates like that.
When he watches number 4 he will wish he was nice to pirates, he will realize that the previous movies where fun and had good plot and character. He will learn to like it.Because of course, the only way to make someone know the value about something, is to take it away
@@TripleR3D I don't understand it too! It sounded like he was criticizing 2 and 3 films for becoming deeper, darker and more complicated! I don't understand why it's bad. Any story that is not ment for one film only of course need to become more complicated just to fill the time of the films with some storytelling. In my personal opinion it would be much better if they've made a series or more than 2 films just with the story of second and third films. Then it would be enough time to maybe add some flashbacks of Davy Jones and Calipso past, or give Will and Elizabeth relationship more explanation like why they couldn't speak to eachother so many times to solve some misunderstandings or even add some flashbacks of Jack past! Like i still don't understand why they've cut this famous deleted episode of Jack and Beckett's talk with explanation why they know eachother and how Jack became a pirate!😡
Another Fun Fact from this swashbuckling film is: According to Gore Verbinski, the Singapore scenes were intended to parody spa culture. A naturally humid atmosphere was achieved with a careful combination of lighting equipment and gallons of water, and fungi were allowed to grow within the set, to enhance the mood.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say this was the worst of this series. before this video. Personally, this is my second favorite behind the first one.
Agreed, no idea where Critic got this notion from. Sure, it’s widely considered a significant step down from 1 and 2, but that’s better than 4 which bored most people to tears, and 5 was basically met with, “it’s a film that…..exists.” I dunno, Critic has odd takes on general consensus sometimes, like when he claimed the only people who enjoyed Event Horizon were “jocks”. Like, what?
On Strange Tides is objectively the worst film in the series
Exactly, I’ve never heard anyone hate this or any movie after the first except for stranger tides and dead man tell no tales

@@wired99999999 which is old?
Jack Sparrow has one of the coolest background stories for a pirate. The reason he became a pirate is awesome. The reason he was branded a pirate is awesome. ("People aren't cargo, mate.") The reason the "Black Pearl" is fully black is awesome. To bad it is never fully explained in the movies and you have to watch the deleted scenes to find this out. -.-
Didn’t it catch fire ?
@@jackj9816 Yes. Jack refused to transport the „cargo“ (aka slaves) and instead he set them all free. For that he was branded a pirate & his ship („The Wicked Wench“) was set on fire. Then Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to get her back. When the ship returned it was fully black because of the fire & was then renamed „The Black Pearl“. So basically, Jack got branded a pirate for not being a terrible human being.

Only the final scene was good
@@Sonic1991-z9hI think I see what you did there.
OK so I watched this movie in high school and I loved it. Mostly the action scenes in the end with all the ships battling each other jack versus Davy in the rain. It was all beautiful I only just heard recently that apparently a lot of people didn’t like this one but to each their own.
It's honestly kinda impressive when you watch some of the behind the scenes clips. They actually did build 2 giant ships inside a studio where they poured mountains of rain at dozens of ballsy stunt doubles actually swinging on ropes
Honestly, this is my single favourite movie of all time. it's long, it has a bunch of characters, it feels epic, I personally feel it caps off the trilogy very well, and all the complaints they have here I just don't think are valid criticisms. all the 'this doesn't make sense' stuff is like....yeah it does. It makes sense well enough, no idea what you're talking about.
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 I love the blooper of Barbossa talking to the giant Calypso. It would've been fun if they had actually put that in the movie.
@@runamerone5492 Yikes you need to see more movies.
@@0816M3RC Literally went to film school. Graduated with honors. I've seen plenty of films, and this one resonates with me.
I think what annoys me the most about At World's End is this: the finale SEEMS to build up to a large sea battle... and then, it's Pearl VS Dutchman, and then Dutchman and Peal VS HMS Endeavour... and the Endeavour isn't even allowed to let loose her mighty broadsides...
And really, I'd rather watch 3 than 4 or 5.
I think they were pushing the idea that if there was a large sea battle, the pirates would have been catastrophically routed. After the battle in the maelstrom, though, they end up with not one, but two magical ships on their side.
@@Tylendal242 After the maelstrom and the end of Endeavour, the rest just buggered off.
Could've had the rest as background fight and such, while Pearl and Dutchman fight in the Maelstrom. Then, Pearl and Dutchman team up on the Endeavour, just as she's about to take out one of the Pirate Lord ships. On what ship was Jack's dad again?
Yeah I thought we were gonna have like every single ship collide in a colossal war. You could still have the Pearl vs the Dutchman in the maelstrom.
@@undertakernumberone1 Jack's dad's ship was the Queen Anne's Revenge.
@@KhaosFrosty The Queen Anne's Revenge was not Jack's Dad's ship, his ship was the Troubadour. The Queen Anne's Revenge was Blackbeard's ship.
This movie is like the epitome of "that sign won't stop me because I don't care." meme because you can tell me ANY flaw in this movie and my immediate response is "I don't care."
"Hey the movie can be over indulgent in some scenes." yeah don't care. "Hey there are WAY too many subplots." I don't care. "The movie is too lore heavy." I don't fcking care.
Sorry. The movie has one of the greatest action sequences in all of cinema history that allows Jack Sparrow to be FULLY Jack, the set design is incredible, the music is god tier, the CGI on Davy Jones still slaps, and there are so many good setup and payoff moments-DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA CARE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THE PLOT WHEN I'M BEING ENTERTAINED?! lol
Couldn't have it said better myself! It's funny how many people here were shocked that this film wasn't as well-received as they thought it would be.
I've ALWAYS been a fan of Keith Richards' line "you're in my way, boy." I love his scene.
Honestly this one is my favorite of all the movies. There was a more serious tone, which made sense while Jack wasn’t around. Honestly, I keep coming back for the final battle between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. That battle is my favorite scene in any POTC movie.
IMO the darkest scenes was the opening, and Elizabeth finding out her father died.
I know the first two had dark scenes, but this one took the cake.
Even 4&5 which I still kind of like to a degree felt less dark than this one

@@mihaimercenarul7467Thank you for your opinion.
Honestly, its still my favourite of the Pirate-Sequels.
Yes, its incredibly overlong, often devoid of logic, and sometimes bloated beyond belief - buts its also just so FUN.
The entire singapore-sequence, the Battle in the Maelstrome etc are all incredibly entertaining setpieces.
Calypso & Davy Jones are a legitimately fascinating set of characters together (honestly they should have made a prequel about those two rather then another two sequels if Im honest).
And finally, as stilted and awkward the Attempts to "connect" the three films into one cohesive big storyline sometimes were, the (sadly cut from the Final movie) discussion between Jack and Beckett and the reveals it brings are *mastefully* done. It connects SO many dots masterfully - Jacks behaviour, the Pearl, where the deal with Jones came from and why, Jacks ideals AND reinforces the "Jones became a Monster physically because he acted cruelly"-plot. Its perfect, and it makes me all the more mad the 5th One completely retconned and ruined it.
what retcon?
@@10tailedbijuu ret·con
/ˈretˌkän/
noun
A piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.
Basically, Jack's backstory was originally established in the 3rd movie but was deleted was completely changed in the 5th one, making it not canon.
@@10tailedbijuu according to a delete scene from this movie, Jack initially was just a trader. He became a pirate kind of by accident, when the East-India trading company hired him to deliver a Cargo of 100 African Slaves to the colonies.
Jack couldnt bring it over himself to do it and freed them, and when he went back to explain, Beckett had him branded as a Pirate and burned his ship down.
Jack, in despair, then made a deal with Davy Jones to bring his ship back.
Thats why the Pearl is black (from the fire), and why Jones is asking for 100 souls as payment for raising it - one soul for every slave Jack freed.
@@ironvader502@ironvader502 F*, it makes so much sense! I curse those people who decided to delete this awesomely logical episode! I think all the questions about sudden and out of nowhere Jack's decisions can be explained perfectly through this deleted backstory! F* those managers who deleted this for the sake of creating another sequel or prequel or whatever! F* their greed!
@@ironvader502F*, this deleted episode feels like the final piece of a puzzle! I always wondered why Jack is so different from other pirates ever since the first film when he didn't kill Will, and this episode just from a description explains everything perfectly and amazingly logical! That's because he isn't a pirate inside! He is a pirate because of the circumstances, not because he wanted to rob and kill rich people. Just like Will! And this adds another layer to their relationship to eachother and other characters.
Im shocked people hated this film. This was my fave of the pirates movie, with a sort of liveliness to it and while yeah some parts were boring, I overall liked it and enjoyed the payoff for so many things@
This one is definitely overhated and is my second favorite. Plus the final battle at the end is a spectacle
This one was okay, Dead Man's Chest was my personal favorite. The whole backstabbing/double crossing bit before the finale kind of muddled the plot for me
@@Gage_Brumley that's fair
I actually love all the talking. This movie is basically taking half a dozen characters with different goals, and then they spend the entire movie's run time desperately making alliances, breaking alliances, making deals, backstabbing, whatever, to further their own goals. The fact that so many of their goals intersect, or tend to be in the interests of others just makes it even more fascinating.
Same here,I liked it a lot,much more than the fourth and fifth movies,so I find it hard to believe some people consider it the worst in the series.
That was so cute they still included Tamara! Hope she feels better! Also the Kraken’s head resting on the tiny boat made me laugh so hard!
I will confess that this was my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean film. As a Tolkienist, I like long stories with lots of lore. I think I'm also drawn to it because we get to see pirates from around the world. Prior to this, the only film with non-European pirates I think I saw was The Swiss Family Robinson from 1960. I still get chills from the "hoist the colors" scene (from before the battle, but also the song at the begining).
I did hear a story that during the filming of this film, they were off the coast of Somalia and some of the main cast were almost kidnapped by Somali pirates (the irony-almost kidnapped by pirates while making a pirate movie). So when it came time to start filming for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the filmmakers chose to film in Hawaii for two reasons:
A. the beauty of Hawaii made for a great filming location
B. proximity to a major US navy base. Pearl Harbor is still the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet.
That is why I don’t hate the 4th film as much as others do.
Sure it has some flaws and weird plot elements, but the Hawaiian scenery was beautiful, same with the cinematography.
Visiting Hawaii is on my bucket list as well
It’s pretty wholesome coming on here and hearing that what I thought was a hot take (finding this an extremely fun and epic movie and great ending to the trilogy) is a sentiment shared by many! They’ve started… singing.
I love the fact that the pirate city is just a massive pile of pirate ships stacked ontop of one another, it's so simple yet so ingenious.
Could've been normal buildings or just a ton of tents, or a Massive ship, but no, it's just a complete cluster f*** of ships. it's awesome!
I didn't know they stack shit that high
Something cool I heard once was that Jack saying he had the key was his way of finding out where the key was. Jack is a genius who goes out of his way to make people think is an idiot so that he can manipulate them. He needed the key, but he didn't know where it was. By saying he had the key, he tricked Jones into showing him where the key was. And sure enough, a couple minutes later Jack has the key.
This movie wasn’t really THAT bad, I didn’t mind at all, and my favorite part was with Jack ridding the Black Pearl down a sand dune. And Beckett’s epic slow motion explosion death!
Fun fact: what Calypso is saying when she was released is "Malfaiteur en Tombeau, Crochir l'Esplanade, Dans l'Fond d'l'eau" which roughly translates as "Across all the seas, find the path to he who wrongfully entombed me"
I've always wondered why Elisabeth couldn't join William. It's said only the dead or the dying could basically join the crew, but if so I bet Elisabeth wouldn't mind getting stabbed now would she? And how come Bill could join after the curse was lifted? Hope we'll ever be able to get an answer to this
hot take comin in: world's end is my favourite pirates film. the story while too serious for some really hooked me in, the visuals were (at the time) amazing like the down is up scene or the pirate lords meeting area, jack is as funny and lovable as ever (debatably more so) and the idea of the navy controlling Davey freaking jones is such a terrifyingly cool idea. while people may hate this film I will defend it to my dying breath.

@@garretdrake2347 No, it's not.

I agree, don't see why the hate is for. It was bigger than what came before it, higher stakes and tried many new ideas and had a longer run time for that reason, it's not like it tried to cram all the stuff in an 1:30 like many modern movies with too much plot.
Only a moron would consider this the worst one, those idiots clearly have not seen 4 or 5.
The fact they keep finding more obscure ways to bring back Hector in these films is amazing to me
I really regret the cut scenes, because apparently the other ships WERE fighting, they just cut it all out
Where'd you hear that???
@@Double-R-Nothingyou can also see that the others ships are scratched and a bit broken as there are some of enemies ship destroyed on the background. But is easy to miss
I liked cutler beckets character, the man child who thinks his status gives him invincibility. Also the shot of him walking down the steps is one of the iconic images of the franchise
The scene with jones on land in the bucket, you can actually see a trail of buckets so he had to walk in buckets to go and stand in a bucket.
Wow Doug really doesn't understand the Pirates movies. It's true that at the time it was considered as somewhat disappointing but never bad. I highly think this one is extremely underrated. All three of them are classics in my opinion and a masterclass in blockbuster filmaking especially the second one. Filmento channel really delves deep into what makes them so great and the recent two sequels just disappointing.
Catharsis Factor: There's a huge vibe seeing *Lord Beckett and HMS Endeavour getting absolutely massacred by the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman* after all the horrific atrocities he had committed in both the previous movie and this one.
Truth be told, that's my favorite villain death of all time from a live-action film.
On the topic of Calypso, years ago a group of pirates, later to be called the Pirate Lords, decided that the seas were getting to dangerous to sail and so sought out Calypso and using their "pieces of eight" sealed her in a physical form as Tia Dalma and in doing so calmed the seas. By the time of the movie because the seas are so easy to sail those who do not sail for a love of the sea but only for the sake of exploiting it, like the East Indian Trading Company, have gained to much control over it, so Barbossa's plan was to gather the Pirate Lords and free Calypso so that once again the sea would be for those who loved it alone. But as the sea is uncaring and as such fair, Calypso could not simply destroy the EIT Co. for the pirates but instead put them in a situation where they could reclaim the seas themselves.
I'm a simple man, I see Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa, and I instantly liked the movie. If they were really trying to keep building this world and be intereste on make actual good movies instead of milking the golden cow, they could easily have made spin off movies about many of their characters, like Barbosa, Davy Jones, Will and Elizabeth, even Jack's father or other pirate lords. I'd love to see some of those stories
Ok, I REALLY have a soft spot for this movie. I dunno, something about that final battle in the ocean maelstrom is just awe-inspiring to watch.
Also, that opening. Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes…
I absolutely adore the first 3 movies and even the rest have some stuff going for them. Sure the consistence swings but personally I have never been bored with the first 3. This franchise has my favorite set designs out of any movie and I have been dreaming of decorating my home with pirate theme for a long time because of how much I love the wet, rusty and coral tainted ship decor in these movies.
A great movie can never be too long, a bad movie can't end fast enough.
The Return of The King...
@@seraphimvalkyrin4543it's that second situation.
I always wondered if they planned to make this two movies as was the trend in Hollywood at the time, but decided to combine them at the last moment. The first half and second half almost seem like different movies
I've always said that. It makes sense from a plot standpoint, to cut the film in two when they rescue Jack. The previous movie didn't have Barbossa, then we'd have a movie without Jack and a final one with the both of them. But it doesn't make sense from a marketing standpoint, because nobody would like to see a full Pirates of the Caribbean movie without the most popular character, Jack.
Hollywood wasn't splitting movies into multiple parts at that time. That trend caught on in 2010 when Harry Potter did it, but this movie came out a little before that in 2007.
I went and saw this with my mum at the cinema back in 2007. To this day she insists that the cinema felt colder in the scenes when they are in the arctic, but I think it was just her imagination ;)
I like this more than the second one, even though it really is bloated and overlong. It has got some great moments like the fighting in Singapore and the battle at the end. I also love the reunion between Jones and Calypso. A few of the deleted scenes I think would have improved the story if they had kept them, like the one where we learn that Becket once hired Jack to deliver a shipment of slaves but he freed them instead, leading to him being branded a pirate. There is a scene where Governor Swan tries to kill Jones but is stopped by Norrington, who then learns she is still alive and Swan tells Beckett he no longer wants to work with him. That's why he was killed off originally (it always gets me the way he says "I think I am", because it implies that he never saw it coming)
"They had to change the ride due to massive complaints from the same 2 people" Once again the Simpsons nailed it.
I actually like this one a lot. I'm not saying it is a flawless masterpiece, you point out some legitimate dumb parts, but overall I think it is way better than people give it credit.
I said this last week, but I seriously doubt that most people think this was the worst one, especially after 4 and 5 came out
4 is tollerable as a standalone but 5 just butchers the trilogy so bad that i am legit mad (though ending was great )
@@BillPlunderbonesTew8 I thought the ending to 5 was really cheesy. Everything just worked out too well. I’d be more happy to see Will and Elizabeth reunite if they had more screen time.
Can we just talk about how AMAZING the music is in these movies, btw ?
I think the soundtrack of PotC 3 is the most amazing movie score of all time, period. It's Hans Zimmer best work.
I'm glad to finally hear someone else say Elizabeth should have ended up on the Dutchman at the end. There are five or six possible endings I would have considered acceptable - I think Jack should have been on it too, for one - but in my opinion there's no question that the ending they had built up to was Elizabeth and Will on the Dutchman together forever, and neither one of them ever sets foot on land again.
I'm gonna have a VERY unpopular opinion here, I absolutely love this movie! Honestly, I like it as much as the 1st film. It is one of a few movies where I could not feel it's run time, the 3rd act is one of the best final battles I've ever seen that rivals Lord of the Rings ( Yes it would have been really cool to see the 2 armies of ships duke it out all at once, but I'm easily satisfied with the maelstrom), and it just feels so epic. Would I prefer a movie with Jack just going on a simple adventure, obviously. But for what we got, I really goddamn enjoyed it.
I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. People love the second and third movies, but for some reason the Critic keeps saying that people think they're the worst movies in the series. I think they're easily the best.
Pirates and Matrix are similar in so many ways: a game changer first movie, overly convoluted sequels, decently satisfying ending in the third one. Despite all their misses, Will captaining the Flying Dutchman and Neo ascending are appropriate endings for their respective franchises
i would watch the Pirates trilogy over Matrix trilogy ten times over everytime
Yeah, but Matrix 3 is 4real trash

The movie îs mediocre and painful to watch. The final battle îs The only good thing în it
@@mihaimercenarul7467 yikes, this film is entertaining throughout. Sorry you suck, but the whole film is fine. Tell me one scene that is painful to watch, please.
I hope Tamara feels better soon.
Do we know what’s wrong with her? Covid?
The thing that fucking KILLS me about this. Is that Elizabeth being the Pirate Queen COULD have worked. She showed cunning and cleverness from the first movie, they easily could've had her go through a Mulan-like transformation where over months of trying to find Will she grew stronger and stronger and became a badass pirate. But instead, we skip over all of that, and it just feels so unearned. . .
I followed this movies plot when I was 12 years old, listened intently to every conversation, knew what was happening throughout, and remained entertained. How could grown adults not follow this?
It's the same with the Star Wars Prequels. One of the most pathetic things about adults who suffer from the Dunning Kruger effect is that they assume that children are as stupid as they are.
Yeah sparrows conversation with becket was easy to follow and interesting to see who sparrow would double cross.
i guess as a kid we tend to overlook some things (like lenght) and dontcare about getting to the meat of it because whe pay attention on parts adults overlook
@@lShadowdark it is actiony movie, I will never understand why people need to be intellectionary stimulated in order to enjoy a movie, especially a a fun action romp.
I might’ve been a dumber kid than you. At 12 I wasn’t fully sure of what was going on all the time. There was noticeably a lot more dialogue based exposition in this than the last two movies. Maybe it was because I was watching it on TV at the time with commercial breaks in between, but all that exposition dialogue just blends together when there’s so much of it.
That scene with Jack, Beckett, Will and Sao Fang making multiple deals together was essentially hard for me to follow. Even as an adult it felt like the information was zipping by at lightning speeds. Despite all this I overall found at worlds end to be enjoyable. The climax though...ehhh
12:00-12:05 Interesting fact about that "green flash at sundown"; this is an actual observed meteorological phenomenon sometimes referred to as "Neptune's Wink". When the Sun is on the very cusp of the horizon before its completed setting, there is a brief moment where the visible spectrum of sun-light shifts to a band of green.
One of the most growing mysteries I ever had about this movie was "how did Davy Jones get on dry land?!" was finally solved just before Critic asked it. Maybe because I watching it up close on my computer instead of on a bigger screen but I FINALLY noticed the buckets behind Davy Jones 🤣 *facepalms* welp.....that only took me half my life....
You see, Iv'e allways seen Beckett as a cool strategist (like Shikamaru) but so full of himself that he actually tried to catch fishs too big for his net (Davy and Jack).
The thing is, the BR dub is soo good that this character is too much fun to watch in portuguese.
This is the my second favorite Pirate of the Caribbean movie.
I'm glad that they chose to follow the story of this sequel in Kingdom Heart 3.
They did? Wow... I have yet to play the Kingdom Heart series.
Well, after skipping what, at least 65% of the movie after rescuing jack?
I always thought Calypso growing huge then created the maelstrom was a sort of reference to Ursula doing the same thing in The Little Mermaid
I’ll die on the hill that At Worlds End is the best one in the series and one of the best written movies
Then you will die stupid. Name a me a good scene besides the final battle
I know a Welch alumni of TGWTG that would agree with you...
I love how 90% of the comments are disregarding Doug's childish criticism and actually enjoying and praising the film in unison, Love to see people come together like this
22:40 Fun fact that pirate was actually based off of a real life pirate named Zheng Yi Sao who was one of the most powerful pirates in history she had a fleet of around 400 ships and had around 40,000 pirates working for her.
Yeah, I am glad she did SOOOOOOO much in the movie.
So, deleted scenes time. The conversation between Becket and Jack originally revealed how they knew eacho other, Becket hired Jack to transport some cargo(slaves) but Jack betrays him, resulting in him being branded a pirate as he saves the people. The people he saved are all the people in the swamp we see at the end of the second film
Also Beckett punished Jack by having Jack's ship destroyed/sank since ship was actually Beckett ship Jack grew attached it which Beckett mocked its just a ship and explains why Jack made deal with Jones to rise the ship from the depth and Jack renames the ship the Black Pearl
@@Lopez03Eduardo. he burned the ship, that's why the Black pearl is black.
The “not particularly liked by audiences” honestly surprised me cause i think this is the best one,so do basically all my friends. I really don’t get the hate it recieves
It's a suprise because contray to Doug's apparent belief that he thinks is right, people DID enjoy the movie and even people that did'nt turned around on it too. Also some of the kids who watched it are now old enough to give their own opinions on it too.
You mean Doug talking shit without any evidence or proof has no fucking weight?
Yeah idk most people either say its the best or the second best film in the series. I guess Doug's basing it on his own friend groups opinions and the audience score ratings when the film was released but that could have easily been from series fatigue
Eh. I liked it when I last saw it in theaters, but it's definitely not the best one. It's the most convoluted Pirates movie. Also nobody messes with my peanut 😊
I *learned* in this video that this movie was hated.
There's no way this is the worst Pirates movie. The tone may be a bit dark and the runtime long, but it is PACKED with memorable scenes! You still remember the little boy at the gallows singing, the mission in Singapore, Jack going mad in the locker, seeing the dead Kraken on the beach, Jones and Tia Dalma's reunion, the Brethren Court, Will replacing Jones, Beckett becoming the filling for a cannonball sandwich... At World's End gave lore to the Pirates franchise. It turned a simple story into a legend in a mythology. Curse of the Black Pearl will always be my favorite, but this movie is EPIC!
If you want the worst Pirates movie, watch Stranger Tides again. I've seen that movie twice, and I keep forgetting what happens in it. Something about mermaids, and Vernon Dursley being a king...
