Man 2007 was quite the year for sequels and franchise movies. We had Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Spider-Man 3, Transformers, The Simpsons movie, Order of the Phoenix, and High School Musical 2 all in the same summer. That’s pretty hard to top.
The 00s was just a crazy time. It wasn't as big and pop fun as the 80s or so outlandishly rebel as the 90s, but for its trashiness and darkness, this decade was weird, inventive, and cool.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is like a classic epic. Every character so perfectly written and all of their contradicting motives create thrilling conflict. The ideas are so big and the themes are so well developed.
You are one of the only people I've seen so actually like that train wreck of a movie. The plot sucked, the movie dragged, and it was an abomination of what was once a great movie.
Same, I remember being bored out of my mind until suddenly "AND SO WE SHALL GO TO WAR" in a Mickey Mouse voice happened... Then I started laughing hysterically
Hey thank you for checking out my work! My channel is still pretty dang small so it's honestly pretty astonishing and awesome when people find my stuff in this little corner of RUclips.
I actually remember this month perfectly, we went to a drive in theatre with my uncle to watch Spider-man 3. I remember really wanting to watch Shrek 3 instead, and it was the last time we talked to him because a few days later he killed himself. I've always been really glad they decided to watch Spider-man 3 over Shrek 3, made the experience much more memorable.
I faintly remember this one event in late 2007 when I was like 6 and it was an outdoor back to back double feature of Shrek 3 and Spider-Man 3. Kinda surreal looking back considering I didn't know Pirates was a franchise then, but its funny to see this video tie all of that up. Underrated channel for sure!
It really says a lot that years later, Spider-Man 3 went on to become a meme icon thanks to 'Bully Maguire' whilst Shrek The Third & Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End get nothing.
You'd be suprised how many people love At Worlds End it has a pretty big fanbase same with Dead Man's Chest. I foresee pirates memes emerging in the future
In my personal opinion I think that out of the three (shrek 3, pirates 3, and Spider-Man3) I think pirates of the Caribbean 3 was definitely the best. Nothing beats that final fight scene when they are in the storm. The music gave me goosebumps from how good and thrilling it was, And the final kiss with Elizabeth and William at the end of the movie was just perfect. It was the weakest out of the trilogy but it definitely had the best ending.
For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️
@@delix787 The problem is not that the characters were reduced in quality, or that it lost depth. Those factors are considered by many, including myself, to be the movies' redeeming factors. The problem is that the movies have so much happening that you forget events that occurred five minutes earlier. They are easily the most convoluted movies I've ever seen. I have heard they are good on rewatch, but most people aren't willing to give a movie they didn't like the first time a second chance.
There’s something about licensed video games during the 2001-2007 era that takes me back. I never even knew about that pirates of the Caribbean game, I thought the only pirates related game was kingdom hearts 2 lol
Will and Elizabeth were at their best in the third movie. They were absolutely pirates by that point and damn good ones, Will aping Jack to piss off Davey Jones, Elizabeth being a walking armory in the opening. Far cries from how they started, with a believable development into who they became in the third movie.
2:10 my dad was the manager at a Walmart back in the 2000's and I remember that exact banner every time I would go in, they even put up an extra copy in the office
Better yet imagine being an 8 year old having their birthday in May when this happened? Damn I feel lucky as hell. Kinda crazy how it was over a decade ago..
I cannot describe how relatable your point is about the Peter, MJ, and Harry love triangle being akin to people you knew from high school still having the same toxic relationships as if nothing has changed several years later. And worst of all is when they still want to talk to you about it as if you care or ever did despite not talking to them in nearly a decade when you’ve long since moved past that.
Glad to see someone talking about these big threequels (also completely forgot the third Jason Bourne film came out the same year) the ads I remember at the time sometimes pointed this out but now I see these films talked about individually and this connection is never alluded to
the POTC trilogy was a story by itself and I love it. I can kinda respect On Stranger Tides now given that the fifth movie was awful, but the real Pirates Of The Caribbean is the trilogy Gore Verbinski, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot passionately made (even though AWE was heavily rushed by Disney, which I don't mind cause I loved the final result)
2002, 2004 and 2007 were probably the best years for movies of the 2000s. So many great movies came out in those years that defined the decade and changed pop culture forever.

2007 was the last year before things started going downhill. Tons of fantastic media and the world didn't have smart phones yet. Good popular music too
@@lol-ih1tl The effects of smart phones took a bit to really take hold. The first iPhone cost $499 and $599. Not easily accessible and definitely a luxury
Uh...2008? We had the best Batman movie ever and the beginning of the MCU with Tony Stark. Oh. A Panda that does Kung Fu and Ben Stiller's big Magnum Opus movie that satires Hollywood, Vietnam movies, and movies that had mentally handicapped characters like Forest Gump and I Am Sam.
Oh I 'member, those three movies were inferior to the vastly amazing second parts of their film series. But if I had to rank them I would say Spiderman 3 is the better one because is a fun movie, Pirates 3 I only saw once and it was at the theater and was mostly good but too long and Shrek 3 pretty much sucked ass.
@@DTheAustralian Nah, many people will say it's bad, but try to find a valid argument for why it is bad. It's just like a fad that never ends. These guys are just little kids with a desire of proving they are masters in cinema knowledge. People love to bash on these movies because it is like saying that Citizen Kane is the best movie of all time. It makes them look like they know. It's a ball that never stops running. There's a huge context of ridiculous arguments for the prequels to be considered bad. But it's all ridiculous again. The Star Wars community has always been super toxic and on the media everyone is kind of an extremist. It's got to a point in which they think that if you like one movie you have to hate the others. If you go outside of the pretentious media, for most plain people with decent knowledge of cinema. all six movies are very good. The movie has a wonderful story no doubt. People find it hard to see the bigger picture. Besides, no matter if you think the movie is great, good or not so good, that year coincided together the second installment for, arguably, the three biggest cinema stories of all time.
@@r.c.c.10 Huh. I've always heard it was boring, middling and painful to sit through, but that's alright. I haven't seen Star Wars myself- not any of the main episodes, none of the spin offs, not even the Clone Wars- so I'm an outsider, but whatever. I will say this, though: > all six movies are very good you don't like the sequels, do you?
@@DTheAustralian Well, I personally think the first one is quite good, the second one has big mistakes but it's still good and the third one is a complete mess but still kind of entertaining. While generally people like the original six films, these ones are way more polarized. I feel that the vast majority think they are quite worse. I believe that when the execution fails but the story is great, you still have a good movie, but if the story is not good, the movie can't be very good. That said, the hate towards them is ridiculous too. It's also partially fruit of expectations. It's just another fashion to hate them, just like it's a fashion now to love The Mandalorian. If you don't you are nobody, if you get what I mean. You can clearly see when someone really likes it and when someone just wants to join the train of hype. II think that Star Wars, under Disney's control, has still being producing some quality content, such as Rogue One, Rebels or even the first season of The Bad Batch. But it's a shame how the franchise is now. They think only fan service can save it now. I hope it's only a matter of time. If not I'm quitting.
@@DTheAustralian I'd personally say Episode 2 (along with Episode 6) is probably the weakest of the original films but it's still pretty solid and fun in its own right. Episodes 5 and 3 are still the peak of the series imo.
9:20 actually the Movie doesn't do this, it still implies if Peter had stopped the robbery, Uncle Ben wouldn't have died. When Marko explains what happened, we see Ben was actually able to reason with him, and almost convinced to just go home, but then his partner runs up behind him and surprises him, and Marko accidentally fires the gun. If Peter had stopped his partner, then Marko wouldn't have killed Uncle Ben. Its contrived sure, but it still implies Peter's negligence to do anything cost Ben his life.
May 07 is when i graduated highschool. I cant GD believe I saw all of these in theaters. Idk if im just old or the landscape has just changed THAT much, but I MAYBE see a movie once a year now lol Excellent video, just adore your work Junko
You know, I am not a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, but despite Shrek The Third falling short and Spiderman 3 falling flat, I'd say that At the World's End was a fantastic film in all aspects. Fabulous production design, soundtrack, performances, direction, cinematography and of course a quite beautiful and twisted script. And Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3, 300 and Bourne Ultimatum were all awesome too.
I remember seeing these 3 in 2007. What a strange and cool time in entertainment and an awesome summer. Not my favorite summer of my childhood, but the last one I could say I felt like a kid since I'd turn into a teenager the next year and booooy did life begin to crack after that.
I was five years old when these films came out and it was the first time I remember cinema and movie marketing and advertising, trailers, shrek 3 magnets and spider-man 3 themed candy and cereal. Spider-Man 1/2 and Shrek 1/2 are my all time favourite films so the third ones are always bittersweet for me. What a time man. Nostalgia hits hard with this one.
I didn't realize these movies all released so close to each other. I never really got into the Pirates of the Carribean movies (although since I have Disney Plus, I'll consider checking them out sometime this year or next year) but I did see both Spider-Man 3 and Shrek The Third on their opening nights, but even then, I didn't realize those movies came out around the same time. I've always been a fan of Spider-Man 3, I liked Shrek The Third as a kid, but I watched all 4 Shrek movies for the first time in years in 2018 and in retrospect, Shrek 3 is a movie that has some good aspects, but definitely could've been done better with the ideas that they had. Shrek 3 feels more like a rough draft for a movie that still needs time in the oven with plot points still being early in development to be expanded upon in the final draft. For example how you mentioned Donkey and Puss switch bodies for no reason, this is a plot point that could've actually had an impact to the story if they did more with it, but it's very pointless in execution.
I remember bring up how they were all being released in theaters around the same time, I saw all three in Theaters and regardless what anybody says, I love all 3 of them
2007 was just the best year. Does anyone have any bad memories from then? i feel like it was just the year of bliss, for just one short year humanity had reached utopia
2007 was also the year with three Marvel movies and a movie about three chipmunks and had the third animated Ninja Turtles adaptation. And we had three instances of heroes going rogue.
I unfortunately did see shrek 3 in theaters. Halfway through the video I almost believed what I thought was a memory was a fever dream because I remembered none of what you were showing until you showed the fairy tale princess immigrant song scene. I remembered that.
The times of custom myspace pages, $0.99 mp3 downloads and 240p youtube tutorial vids being uploaded in glorious 720p HD! Good times they were indeed 😓✊
I'VE SEEN THAT F**KING BANNER IN WALMART BEFORE!!!!!!!!! I vaguely remember it!! Tho I can't track it down neither.. 😔 I also remember my local 9&10 news promoting the "3 threequels" describing their plot synopses to get people hyped for em.
I was so young when all of these movies came out, lol. I was 4 (turning 5), and I vividly remember seeing Spider-Man 3 and Shrek the Third in theaters. Haven't watched Shrek the Third since then, and Spider-Man 3 is my second favorite Spider-Man movie. Definitely need to rewatch those two and PotC as a whole.
At worlds end and Spider-Man 3 are both great even if not perfect. Definitely not the worst of their series imo (at least if you consider all the Spider-Man man movies not just the raimi ones though even with just then I still consider it around equal even if it is admittedly the weakest in some aspects). They work well as movies and they make sense. I do think at worlds end would have better as and ending than the other two the ended up making later.
I too remember all 3 of these films being marketed together in 2007, specifically in the cereal aisle at my local Wal-Mart. Interesting that this happened, despite the films sharing no connection. I guess now the equivalent would be akin to something like The Avengers, Star Wars and Avatar all making their film comeback in the same month & year; which would never happen, especially given all of those films are actually aligned under the same distributor. This was a truly unique time for big budget films, the last big blow before shared and interconnected universes became the standard. Either that or 2012.
I’m intrigued by this giant Wal-Mart banner because I have no memory of it. I can’t find anything about it through internet searches. That’s an obscure memory.
I played all three games on the PS2. Spider-Man 3 was my first Spider-Man game. I spent hours playing that Sheep 3 catapult two player game with my little brother. Pirates 3 opening up with Pirates 2 blew my mind. Spent years being confused why they didn't also include Pirates 1.
I think their biggest issues with these films is because the first in each trilogy was really good. the sequels were amazing (pirates 2 was fine) so they had a lot to live up to. and couldn't meet the bar.
Next up. You should really cover 2008s year of the number fours. Devil may cry 4. GTAIV, and Mgs4. Probably forgetting a few. Btw, I love your channel!!
Though people hated Spider-Man 3, people wanted a fourth film. Instead, we got the first Spider-Man reboot 10 years ago. Five years later after Raimi's final Spider Man. The rest was history.

I remember being a wee little lad thinking, "Holy shit, May is the month of 3!" Good times 2007. Good times.
In my personal opinion I think that out of the three (shrek 3, pirates 3, and Spider-Man3) I think pirates of the Caribbean 3 was definitely the best. Nothing beats that final fight scene when they are in the storm. The music gave me goosebumps from how good and thrilling it was, And the final kiss with Elizabeth and William at the end of the movie was just perfect. It was the weakest out of the trilogy but it definitely had the best ending.
For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with.
Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free.
And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better.
Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will.
She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3!
As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies.
Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1??
As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die..
Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth.
Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈
when Will challenging Davy Jones.
Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key?
Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏
As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️
That kiss makes me cry! 😭💙💙
@@delix787 The problem is not that the characters were reduced in quality, or that it lost depth. Those factors are considered by many, including myself, to be the movies' redeeming factors. The problem is that the movies have so much happening that you forget events that occurred five minutes earlier. They are easily the most convoluted movies I've ever seen. I have heard they are good on rewatch, but most people aren't willing to give a movie they didn't like the first time a second chance.
2007 was also the year Linkin Park's 3rd album 'Minutes To Midnight' released. powerful year imo
There’s something about licensed video games during the 2001-2007 era that takes me back. I never even knew about that pirates of the Caribbean game, I thought the only pirates related game was kingdom hearts 2 lol
Really impressed by the quality of your videos, man. Keep going.
I love all the pirates films. They were my childhood. Although 3 was long, it is easily my favourite. That ending is magnificent
Will and Elizabeth were at their best in the third movie. They were absolutely pirates by that point and damn good ones, Will aping Jack to piss off Davey Jones, Elizabeth being a walking armory in the opening. Far cries from how they started, with a believable development into who they became in the third movie.
Pirates 3 is my favorite out of the series. The cannon duel between the pearl and Dutchman is epic.
“The movies got worse” nah bruh the got better! Love Pirates 3 to death.
We don’t talk about 4 & 5 tho
2:10 my dad was the manager at a Walmart back in the 2000's and I remember that exact banner every time I would go in, they even put up an extra copy in the office
Did it look like the thumbnail for this video?
@@IcyDiamond i mean the Shrek artwork is from Shrek Forever after so it was most likely that horrible happy shrek image they made for "the third"
@@RayoMcQueen95990 I'm also pretty sure the poster featured a stock image of the red raimi suit, not black
Love this video man. 2007 was a key year in my childhood
Same
2007 was one of the best years of my childhood easily
I'm so happy I found your channel. Finally someone my age that remembers May 2007. What a glorious month...
Better yet imagine being an 8 year old having their birthday in May when this happened? Damn I feel lucky as hell. Kinda crazy how it was over a decade ago..
for 290 views this is VERY ENTERTAINING!!!!!! i would choose to watch these than any netflix shows
I cannot describe how relatable your point is about the Peter, MJ, and Harry love triangle being akin to people you knew from high school still having the same toxic relationships as if nothing has changed several years later. And worst of all is when they still want to talk to you about it as if you care or ever did despite not talking to them in nearly a decade when you’ve long since moved past that.
This channel is god teir, I haven’t been into a channel like this since I first found Peanut Butter gamer and Jon Tron back in 2012.
Glad to see someone talking about these big threequels (also completely forgot the third Jason Bourne film came out the same year) the ads I remember at the time sometimes pointed this out but now I see these films talked about individually and this connection is never alluded to
You just reminded me of that XBOX 360 ad that also advertised the video games of THESE threequels!
Haha yep! I featured it in my video game reviews of these three too
@@YungJunko I also agree with you on how mediocre Shrek 3 is and how it’s not as bad as people thought
Imma say it
In my opinion, POTC 3 as a finale is better than either POTC 4 or POTC 5
also spiderman 3 isn't that bad for how rushed it is lol
the POTC trilogy was a story by itself and I love it. I can kinda respect On Stranger Tides now given that the fifth movie was awful, but the real Pirates Of The Caribbean is the trilogy Gore Verbinski, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot passionately made (even though AWE was heavily rushed by Disney, which I don't mind cause I loved the final result)
I agree
3 is the best in the entire series. It should’ve been the finale and stayed a trilogy
@@jasonchilado Agreed
FACTS all around.
I remember the hype to these movies. And I saw them all in theaters when I was eight years old.
All of your videos I watched so far were all extremely good.
It amazes me that your channel hasn't blown up yet.
Your content is straight up amazing!
I love your style of editing and comedic timing. This channel has such a bright future ahead of itself
2002, 2004 and 2007 were probably the best years for movies of the 2000s. So many great movies came out in those years that defined the decade and changed pop culture forever.
Don’t forget 2008 with The Dark Knight and Iron Man
The 2010's have nothing on the 2000's
The years of every film in the Raimi trilogy 😆.
For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with.
Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free.
And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better.
Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will.
She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3!
As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies.
Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1??
As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die..
Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth.

I still remember reading my Nickelodeon magazine featuring Spider-Man 3.
Your videos speak to me on a spiritual level
2007 was the last year before things started going downhill. Tons of fantastic media and the world didn't have smart phones yet. Good popular music too
iphone was released in 2007
@@lol-ih1tl The effects of smart phones took a bit to really take hold. The first iPhone cost $499 and $599. Not easily accessible and definitely a luxury
Uh...2008? We had the best Batman movie ever and the beginning of the MCU with Tony Stark. Oh. A Panda that does Kung Fu and Ben Stiller's big Magnum Opus movie that satires Hollywood, Vietnam movies, and movies that had mentally handicapped characters like Forest Gump and I Am Sam.
@@PowerRangersLostGalaxyFanFilm 2008 also had the Great Recession and Russia invaded Georgia.
@@PowerRangersLostGalaxyFanFilm The MCU isn't something to be proud of, it's led to the degradation of the movie Industry.
Oh I 'member, those three movies were inferior to the vastly amazing second parts of their film series. But if I had to rank them I would say Spiderman 3 is the better one because is a fun movie, Pirates 3 I only saw once and it was at the theater and was mostly good but too long and Shrek 3 pretty much sucked ass.
I've been binge watching your videos man , great stuff ...Keep up the awesome content ! 😎👍
Nothing can top 2002: The Lord of the Rings II, Harry Potter 2 and Star Wars II.
It's all full of wonderful 2s.
Isn't Star Wars II bad, or at least majorly disliked?
@@DTheAustralian Nah, many people will say it's bad, but try to find a valid argument for why it is bad. It's just like a fad that never ends. These guys are just little kids with a desire of proving they are masters in cinema knowledge. People love to bash on these movies because it is like saying that Citizen Kane is the best movie of all time. It makes them look like they know. It's a ball that never stops running. There's a huge context of ridiculous arguments for the prequels to be considered bad. But it's all ridiculous again. The Star Wars community has always been super toxic and on the media everyone is kind of an extremist. It's got to a point in which they think that if you like one movie you have to hate the others.
If you go outside of the pretentious media, for most plain people with decent knowledge of cinema. all six movies are very good.
The movie has a wonderful story no doubt. People find it hard to see the bigger picture.
Besides, no matter if you think the movie is great, good or not so good, that year coincided together the second installment for, arguably, the three biggest cinema stories of all time.
@@r.c.c.10
Huh. I've always heard it was boring, middling and painful to sit through, but that's alright. I haven't seen Star Wars myself- not any of the main episodes, none of the spin offs, not even the Clone Wars- so I'm an outsider, but whatever. I will say this, though:
> all six movies are very good
you don't like the sequels, do you?
@@DTheAustralian Well, I personally think the first one is quite good, the second one has big mistakes but it's still good and the third one is a complete mess but still kind of entertaining.
While generally people like the original six films, these ones are way more polarized.
I feel that the vast majority think they are quite worse. I believe that when the execution fails but the story is great, you still have a good movie, but if the story is not good, the movie can't be very good.
That said, the hate towards them is ridiculous too. It's also partially fruit of expectations. It's just another fashion to hate them, just like it's a fashion now to love The Mandalorian. If you don't you are nobody, if you get what I mean. You can clearly see when someone really likes it and when someone just wants to join the train of hype.
II think that Star Wars, under Disney's control, has still being producing some quality content, such as Rogue One, Rebels or even the first season of The Bad Batch. But it's a shame how the franchise is now. They think only fan service can save it now. I hope it's only a matter of time. If not I'm quitting.
@@DTheAustralian I'd personally say Episode 2 (along with Episode 6) is probably the weakest of the original films but it's still pretty solid and fun in its own right.
Episodes 5 and 3 are still the peak of the series imo.
Don't forget Hot Fuzz was also released in 2007 despite it being the second film in the Cornetto trilogy
9:20 actually the Movie doesn't do this, it still implies if Peter had stopped the robbery, Uncle Ben wouldn't have died.
When Marko explains what happened, we see Ben was actually able to reason with him, and almost convinced to just go home, but then his partner runs up behind him and surprises him, and Marko accidentally fires the gun. If Peter had stopped his partner, then Marko wouldn't have killed Uncle Ben. Its contrived sure, but it still implies Peter's negligence to do anything cost Ben his life.
I remember seeing Shrek the 3rd in theaters with my dad when I was 9, and man I was laughing waaayyyy too hard.
May 07 is when i graduated highschool. I cant GD believe I saw all of these in theaters. Idk if im just old or the landscape has just changed THAT much, but I MAYBE see a movie once a year now lol
Excellent video, just adore your work Junko
You know, I am not a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, but despite Shrek The Third falling short and Spiderman 3 falling flat, I'd say that At the World's End was a fantastic film in all aspects. Fabulous production design, soundtrack, performances, direction, cinematography and of course a quite beautiful and twisted script.
And Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3, 300 and Bourne Ultimatum were all awesome too.
I remember seeing these 3 in 2007. What a strange and cool time in entertainment and an awesome summer. Not my favorite summer of my childhood, but the last one I could say I felt like a kid since I'd turn into a teenager the next year and booooy did life begin to crack after that.
Halo 3, Graduation, and Transformers. The holy trinity of 2007
What year for entertainment industry! Never realized how significant it was!
I was five years old when these films came out and it was the first time I remember cinema and movie marketing and advertising, trailers, shrek 3 magnets and spider-man 3 themed candy and cereal. Spider-Man 1/2 and Shrek 1/2 are my all time favourite films so the third ones are always bittersweet for me. What a time man. Nostalgia hits hard with this one.
“At World’s End sucked” so it’s treason
Pirates 3 is a masterpiece and anyone who doesn't see that watched them wrong
Agreed
Good not a masterpice
I didn't realize these movies all released so close to each other.
I never really got into the Pirates of the Carribean movies (although since I have Disney Plus, I'll consider checking them out sometime this year or next year) but I did see both Spider-Man 3 and Shrek The Third on their opening nights, but even then, I didn't realize those movies came out around the same time.
I've always been a fan of Spider-Man 3, I liked Shrek The Third as a kid, but I watched all 4 Shrek movies for the first time in years in 2018 and in retrospect, Shrek 3 is a movie that has some good aspects, but definitely could've been done better with the ideas that they had. Shrek 3 feels more like a rough draft for a movie that still needs time in the oven with plot points still being early in development to be expanded upon in the final draft. For example how you mentioned Donkey and Puss switch bodies for no reason, this is a plot point that could've actually had an impact to the story if they did more with it, but it's very pointless in execution.
Just found your channel last night and I've been binging your content all day. Love your videos my guy!
I remember bring up how they were all being released in theaters around the same time, I saw all three in Theaters and regardless what anybody says, I love all 3 of them
In 2015 we had alot of fourquels you had fallout 4, batman arkham knight 4th game, rock band 4, and fantastic 4,
But none of those really panned out though
@@NeverSaySandwich1 Arkham Knight was liked tho.
Spider-Man 3 and pirates of the Caribbean 3 are amazing man
Agreed
I always loved the whole ramie trilogy
2007 was just the best year. Does anyone have any bad memories from then? i feel like it was just the year of bliss, for just one short year humanity had reached utopia
2007 was also the year with three Marvel movies and a movie about three chipmunks and had the third animated Ninja Turtles adaptation. And we had three instances of heroes going rogue.
15:58 Fuck All Star, where're my Walking On The Sun homies at?
It’s weird to know that POTC3 starts with a child getting hanged especially since it’s a Disney movie
Glad everyone in the comments agrees At Worlds End is a good movie
Awesome video, need more of these year look backs.
Just discovered your channel. Glad to be here before it blows up massively
I unfortunately did see shrek 3 in theaters. Halfway through the video I almost believed what I thought was a memory was a fever dream because I remembered none of what you were showing until you showed the fairy tale princess immigrant song scene. I remembered that.
The times of custom myspace pages, $0.99 mp3 downloads and 240p youtube tutorial vids being uploaded in glorious 720p HD!
Good times they were indeed 😓✊
Back when movie franchises were varied and every studio competed.Disney has pretty much killed all competition now which is sad to see
I'VE SEEN THAT F**KING BANNER IN WALMART BEFORE!!!!!!!!! I vaguely remember it!! Tho I can't track it down neither.. 😔 I also remember my local 9&10 news promoting the "3 threequels" describing their plot synopses to get people hyped for em.
Great video! You deserve way more views and subscribers!
just found your channel. its a hidden gem
I was so young when all of these movies came out, lol. I was 4 (turning 5), and I vividly remember seeing Spider-Man 3 and Shrek the Third in theaters. Haven't watched Shrek the Third since then, and Spider-Man 3 is my second favorite Spider-Man movie. Definitely need to rewatch those two and PotC as a whole.
I watch Shrek the Third when I was little even my mom dressed me up as the baby ochre for Halloween
THREE hundred? Dang. I missed One Hundred and Two Hundred.
At worlds end and Spider-Man 3 are both great even if not perfect.
Definitely not the worst of their series imo (at least if you consider all the Spider-Man man movies not just the raimi ones though even with just then I still consider it around equal even if it is admittedly the weakest in some aspects).
They work well as movies and they make sense.
I do think at worlds end would have better as and ending than the other two the ended up making later.
Spider-man 3 really isn't a good movie, even if you just watched it in a vacuum. It's passable at best.
At Worlds End is the best of these 3 movies here for sure even if Spiderman 3 gets saved by memes
@@yoursonisold8743
Wrong opinion
Neither of those movies is good lmao.
At worlds end does not suck maybe a little long but I was never lost in what was happening.
I think it’s because it’s really long. Most people I know dislike long movie just for being long, even if the movie is a masterpiece.
@@choolimba6704 When a movie grips me like that I never even notice the length I guess its not the same for other people.
@@Retrophoria true
I too remember all 3 of these films being marketed together in 2007, specifically in the cereal aisle at my local Wal-Mart. Interesting that this happened, despite the films sharing no connection.
I guess now the equivalent would be akin to something like The Avengers, Star Wars and Avatar all making their film comeback in the same month & year; which would never happen, especially given all of those films are actually aligned under the same distributor.
This was a truly unique time for big budget films, the last big blow before shared and interconnected universes became the standard. Either that or 2012.
There's also the three sequels of 2014
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Amazing Spider-Man 2
Rio 2
I’m intrigued by this giant Wal-Mart banner because I have no memory of it. I can’t find anything about it through internet searches. That’s an obscure memory.
I played all three games on the PS2. Spider-Man 3 was my first Spider-Man game. I spent hours playing that Sheep 3 catapult two player game with my little brother. Pirates 3 opening up with Pirates 2 blew my mind. Spent years being confused why they didn't also include Pirates 1.
I remember dragging my sister to see Shrek 3 cause I loved the second don’t think she’s forgiving me since
I remember seeing all of these that year. Feels like yesterday.
I think their biggest issues with these films is because the first in each trilogy was really good. the sequels were amazing (pirates 2 was fine) so they had a lot to live up to. and couldn't meet the bar.
Loving your videos. Been binging all day.
Next up. You should really cover 2008s year of the number fours. Devil may cry 4. GTAIV, and Mgs4. Probably forgetting a few. Btw, I love your channel!!
I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I remember thinking this back when I was 6
how do these vids not have millions of views.
Shrek 3 is the spiritual successor to Eraserhead
I adore Pirates 3, I laughed at every joke and I just can't get enough of the betrayals
I swear I remember see all 3 of these movies in theaters but not in the span of 1 month! damn
I loved Sherk The Third and Spider-Man 3 when they came out and still do. I still have them on DVD.
remember this eell saw all 3 in theatres with my family everytime
Though people hated Spider-Man 3, people wanted a fourth film. Instead, we got the first Spider-Man reboot 10 years ago. Five years later after Raimi's final Spider Man. The rest was history.
2007 was such a fantastic year for pop culture
Omg. Graduation album art and halo 3. Takes me back so hard. Ughhhhhh
2007, 2004 the 2 magical years of the 2000s.
I’m tired of pretending that Spider-Man 3 isn’t the best Spider-Man movie of all time
Its one of those movies that I will always enjoy when it's on
1&2 > 3
It’s not very nice to call a film that was interfered with better than 2 movies that were made with the directors vision untouched
I just discovered your channel and it's sooo fun!
Btw, POTC 3 is amazing
