Salazar was great, but he was wasted as a villain. He had the potential to be like Davy Jones, to be in multiple movies, but sadly it was not to be. He was definitely the darkest and maybe the scariest villain in POTC. I never found Jones scary.
Fun Fact: The Wicked Wench from Salazar's backstory is actually the Black Pearl. The backstory is that the East India Trading Company (more specifically Beckett) burnt and sank the Black Pearl because Jack freed 100 slaves he was supposed to sell for Beckett. In turn, Jack turned to Davy Jones to raise the ship from the depths. And due to the ship's Black burnt appearance, Jack re-christened the Wicked Wench the Black Pearl. This is also why Jones requested 100 souls for Jack's. Nice subtle reference.
@@primus3217 Apperently it isbt the Kraken, nevermind, I thought that was the case, turns out it isn't. I saw that "fact" in a Potc 5 breakdown back in 2017. Sorry
@@primus3217 Some cephalopods have hard structures inside them. Cuttlefish have hard calcium-carbon based shells in their bodies, but it's not really a bone since it's for buoyancy and not muscle support.
Don't leave out why Beckett burned it! Jack freed 100 slaves. That's also why Jack's debt to Jones was 100 souls, as a cruel nod to why he was indebted to Jones in the first place.
@@Trenchcoat3 So in At World's End Will's dad said despite the fact he's no longer bound he felt like he had a debt to pay off. He didn't think he had earned his freedom and so chose to continue to serve on the Flying Dutchman under Will's command.
@@Trenchcoat3 fun fact: gramps was freed by will and legend has it he still don't understand the dice game, he jumps out of nowhere to bet out of 6 dice screaming "my soul for eternity on 7 sixes" at the last second like he is some sort of dirty looking semi-senile dummy giving himself in slavarey and people would rather keep this low iQ cursed-coin collecting lunatic out of their lives..
I worked as an extra on this film in the execution scene with the guillotine. It was Johnny's 50th birthday one day and we got to celebrate with him. There was 600 of us, so it was a very long process, but such a great time.
ok so the thing with Davy Jones is that the Flying Dutchman must ALWAYS have a captain, because the souls of sailors who die at sea need a ferryman. Each captain is a single curse, and Will was broken free without being killed. To remedy this, Davy Jones was resurrected and returned to his post as captain. There's a small retcon with how Jack got the compass. In the second movie, Tia Dalma/Calypso mentions offhand that he bartered for it from her. In this movie, he gets it from his former captain. Some people argue further that the greater lore was changed, what with Jack "giving up" the compass to several people throughout the series, BUT... In my opinion, it's about what the compass SYMBOLIZES. In the first movie, Jack tells Elizabeth "What the Black Pearl truly is, is freedom." The compass is a symbol of the spirit of adventure. It's specifically said that if you BETRAY the compass, it unleashes your greatest fear-- just just by giving it to someone. When Jack sold it for a drink, he was giving up on everything that compass stood for, and THAT'S why it unleashed Salazar.
Also in the other movies when Jack did give the compass to someone else, like Will in At World's End, bad things did happen to him. He had a fear of being stuck with Davy Jones and shortly after giving it to Will, his bargain with Norrington is exposed and he gets sent to the Flying Dutchman.
It's not really a small retcon since Tia Dalma and Jack are linked by the compass, and Davy Jones. This is just erasing one of her principal actions from the lore.
@@beng4ll967 it's just the mandela effect being present in this universe, as in both expositions we are given as to how jack got the compass it comes from a flashback or memory/ Different people remembering the past differently. Jack has drank so much rum he wouldn't know anyway
Literally 10 years actually. We last saw them in POTC 3 (released May 25, 2007) & then had to wait until POTC 5 (released May 26, 2017) till we saw them again Pretty neat honestly
My understanding is that the reason jones is back is because being captain of the Dutchman isn't actually a curse. It is a title bestowed to those who have essentially made a deal with calypso.
So was the heart in the box the part that was the curse? But Calypso still required them to do the job, despite having his heart back in his chest wouldn't he still need to do the job? Is that why he had that nightmare maybe? He has his heart and can go on land now but he still abandoned the job? I'm trying to work this out, lol
I feel like after he "died", Calypso allowed him to come back. The ending tells me Davy Jones isn't happy about losing ship and crew and maybe wants revenge against Will.
Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life, which takes place after this movie, went with the explanation that Will being freed from the Dutchman inadvertently resurrected Jones, because, after all, the Dutchman needs a captain.
i LOVE that we got to see Will and Elizabeth's reunion, makes me tear up every time. i agree with James, the next one needs to be a romcom and they need to live happily ever after 😇
Fun fact: Keira Knightley never wanted to be in POTC again because she'd done it for so long and was ready for something new. When the director approached her about filming that reunion with Will, she jumped on it because it would be a one- time thing and the fans were excited to see Will and Elizabeth together again.
I love this movie, despite what others say. This movie felt more a part of the story as a whole than Stranger tides. Stranger tides felt like a spin off. But this I felt picked up right where we left off with the third one and had many emotional scenes, and of course the old crew back. So yeah, I definantly enjoyed this one more than stranger tides.
ive always considered jack the face of the franchise and the turners the "side-mission", feels weird calling a part of jack's story a spin-off. but youre right, from the first movie the director probably meant for turner's story to be main
I wouldn't say a spin-off as it was a different adventure they set off on which we saw at the end of At World's End that Jack was going after the fountain of youth. And maybe cos of the different graphics. This one on the other hand brought back other characters but changed some story lines
There a detail in this that I never noticed. When Barbossa meets with Shansa, the witch, she asks him if his treasure is worth dying for. When Carina asks him who she is to him, he says treasure right before sacrificing himself to save her.
Salazar had so much potential as an antagonist. They could have given him almost as much depth as Davy Jones, perhaps more. Even in the context of this somewhat goofy universe, most pirates murdered , pillaged and raped everywhere they went ,while giving no mercy when the opportunity presented itself. For all terms and purposes, Salazar was just a man who said that enough was enough and decided to actually do something about it. Does that make him as bad as the pirates he hates? Yes, but you can't deny the results. Even decades after his death, pirate lords like Barbossa brick their pants at the mere mention of his name. If Davy Jones was the devil to pirates, Salazar was their boogeyman.
Yes well said. Salazar was among my favorite villains in the trilogy. But they had him so underutilized. As you said he had the potential to be a fantastic villain and a threat to everyone. Cos we seen the reaction of Barbossa at the mere mention of his name. He really was their boogeyman.
Fun fact: this movie was filmed in Australia, and most of the extra cast are Australians. Salazar's men, except for his Lieutenant (the guy with the eyepatch), are all played by Aussies as well.
Javier Bardem is great at playing villains, if you've seen No Country For Old Men you'd probably know that. He himself, however, is the least scariest person you could come across, in fact, he hates violence and even hates using guns. Kaya Scodelario, who plays Caryna, described him as being a teddy bear, and Brentan Thwaites, who plays Henry, stated that during the time they filmed where Salazar confronts Jack on the beach, between shoots Javier ad Juan Carlos Vellido (who plays Lesaro, his Leautenant) would start messing about in the water like a couple of 5 year olds XD
One thing that bugs me about the film is the way that Jack gets the compass when in dead man's chest we see that calypso says she gave Jack the compass which means the link with Salazar wouldn't make sense
Jack acquired the compass from the mystic Tia Dalma, but the magical compass was initially acquired by Jack from Dalma to give to his captain Morgan, at that times captain of the Black Pearl ; however, when his captain died killed by Armando Salazar, Morgan, before dying, gave to Jack his compass and the command of his ship.
@@williamdrake6711 that doesn't hold up. If she traded it to Jack then it belonged TO jack. Not his captain. It's obviously something they tried to retcon for this story that just doesn't work well. Even if it did, what's the link to Salazar?
@@williamdrake6711 The Black Pearl was originally named the Wicked Wench, a ship owned and operated by the East India Trading Company. At that time, Jack worked for Beckett, but when he discovered that he had to transport "cargo," which was in fact 100 slaves, he set them free. This angered Beckett, so he had the ship burned up and sunk and personally branded Jack as a pirate. It is at this moment that Jack struct a deal with Davy Jones to raise the Pearl from the depths and make him captain for 13 years. The rest is history.
I never exactly remember the plot of this movie, might be from the ambiguous stuff happening and such, but I still love it to bits and every single POTC movie has a special place in my heart for nostalgia reasons
Oh that Peter Pan! I thought you meant the animated version. Ooh, now I'm really excited. I would be lying if I pretended Jeremy Sumpter (Peter) was not my crush after that movie. I enjoyed this movie too. That toenail scene was just wrong to me so I don't watch this one too often cause I'd be skipping past that every time. Still think the rest is great.
Javier Bardem decided to be in this POTC movie because his wife, Penelope Cruz, had already been in the previous one. He wanted to do it for their kids.
So sad that the scene that hints Davy Jones return will either not happen now or be crap since Johnny Depp won't be returning as Jack sparrow. Davy Jones was my favourite villain of the franchise. And nobody can replace Johnny Depp as Jack either 😟 There's no POTC without Depp.
I’m pretty sure Disney said that they were going to do a film just focusing on Will and Elizabeth so it’s possible that Davy Jones will come back with or without Jack Sparrow in the film. Though I could be wrong since the next pirates film is full of speculations as of now.
I always felt like the story would almost have been better if Henry remained an eleven, twelve year old boy who found Jack after stowing away on ships and being resourceful, and Jack initially decided to at the very least see this little inconvenience home safely as a favor to Elizabeth, until he produced some kind of clue that persuaded Jack that all right, so maybe the trident of Poseidon aren't all myth; so he tells Gibbs to "hide the rum" and tells the lad with the exaggerated grin that you know what, lad, we might be able to help your father after all, and that they were going to take a detour. Shenanigans ensue. Just the idea of a Jack Sparrow transitioning from something akin to a reluctant babysitter to a funny uncle for twelve year old Henry as Will and Elizabeth's son grows on him sounds really wholesome to me, as Henry proves to be quick-witted and resourceful, and might use the fact that he is a child to get into a place no adult civilian, let alone pirate, could simply walk through the door by claiming one of the red-coats guarding it was his father, and steal something Jack needs. Sort of like when Mullroy and Murtogg starts bickering, and Jack looks from one to the other with a "oh my god, these two..." look, only this time it is Henry who looks between Jack and Gibbs as they quibble about the best way to get inside this area, and though they freak out a bit when they find Henry gone, once he shows up again, with what Jack needs for the journey, Jack can acknowledge his wit and take him on as a cabin boy for the remainder of the voyage, and stops walking on eggshells around him because he is capable, and not simply little "Will's boy" or "Elizabeth's son". It'd also help differentiate this film from each other, and if we skip some of the unnecessary retcons...
You can definitely see where this story had a lot of flaws, especially in regards to continuity. -Jack Sparrow had actually found the Trident of Poseidon as a teenager in the young Jack Sparrow series. -The Wicked Wench (the ship that would become the Black Pearl) had belonged to the East India Trading Company back when Jack was a privateer in their fleet. So why this random pirate has it beforehand, I don't know. -Tia Dalma stated in Dead Man's Chest that Jack had bartered the Compass from her, yet we see here that Jack was given the Compass by Morgan. And if the Compass released his worst fear (not sure why it was Salazar, as he never demonstrated any fear of him at all in his youth) when it was given away, then why didn't it do so every time Jack gave it away to Elizabeth, Will and Gibbs? -We see Scrum and Marty are part of Jack's crew and that Murtogg and Mulroy are serving Barbossa, but we never learn of why Scrum left Barbossa for Jack, or how Marty, Murtogg and Mulroy survived Blackbeard's assault on the Black Pearl. -We see that there is a huge gap of years between this movie and At World's End. We never learn how Will and the Dutchman became cursed (at the after credits scene in AWE when Will returns to Elizabeth and Henry after 10 years, he looks perfectly fine.) and we never learn of what became of Elizabeth during that time. Did she resign as Pirate King and Pirate Lord of the South China Sea? -Much as I liked seeing Davy Jones back, it didn't make sense for him to appear in his cursed form, as the destruction of the Trident of Poseidon would have undone all the curses of the sea, including his.
I think his worst fear keeps changing. In At World's End he gave it to Will and was scared of being stuck with Davy Jones' crew. Shortly after giving it away he was imprisoned on Jones' ship. The reason why Will sees Davy Jones is because the ship "must ALWAYS have a captain", symbolizing that Will gave up the ship to be with Elizabeth. Davy wants his ship back. Will wasn't cursed so to speak, because of so many years spent underwater and with the ship he started growing barnacles. Davy became a squid because he refused to ferry souls to retaliate against Calypso.
I love how Jack in this film was not himself because that woman in the 4th one curse him and henry though he was not what his mum told him about the Captain Jack Sparrow she knew but he did show him that he was Captain Jack Sparrow that his mum told him about later in the film. It feels after the trident got destroyed it felt like the real Jack return to us and he got everything back. His luck, ship and crew.
Credit to Barbossa, as soon he's back and not cursed anymore, he makes the most out of everything and lives life to the fullest. Credit scene: now that all curses are broken, all bets are off. It's ambiguous. ☠
(I've edited this comment based on some replies) I enjoyed the usual pirate shenanigans but I get why people hate this film. It has so many inconsistencies with the plot of the prequels and I'll list a few: 1. Jack was given the compass by Calypso and not the guy on the ship. In Part 2, she asks why the compass she gave him can't lead him to what he wants and he gave it away numerous times after that. So why didn't Salazar come since? Saying he didn't want it this time isn't feasible as he traded it for certain things with Will and Lord Beckett. Also, if that was the case, who told Salazar about the compass? 2. At the end of part 4, Jack was told he had to do a ritual involving a crossbow, goats,a trumpet and a man waving his fingers to free the black pearl from the bottle. Why didn't Jack do the ritual since and free the Black Pearl? Also, what happened to the other ships Gibbs collected? Jack should have been an admiral by now. 3. Will wasn't under a curse. Davy Jones was because he stopped doing his duty. There's nowhere we're told that Will neglected his duty. Also the broken curses by the trident should have turned Davy Jones normal in the end credits but he's dead so he shouldn't even be there. 4. The pirates suddenly seem very daft. The same pirates skilled in navigation, have a court, poetic speech and code of conduct etc can no longer understand simple marine navigation terms? So a horologist has to explain? 5. Did Jack really run out of luck or it was an excuse to push the plot of Salazar? Cos if it's bad luck, he's been unlucky since part 1. Remember when one of the other pirates in jail in Part 1 told him he was unlucky when the Black Pearl's cannon blew open their cell and left his until Will came to save him? In part 2, his crew confronts him after he comes out of the coffin in the beginning because they don't seem to have a direction and Jack confused them with English. Think about it, he's only had the Black Pearl in 1 out of 5 movies (Dead Man's Chest) and even that wasn't much as he was chased about by Davy Jones and the British Navy. Overall, this movie seems more like a spin-off and not a sequel. I guess it's why people don't like it. At least Part 4 followed the first 3 and I enjoyed it. Seems like the directors just wanted their own story.
The reason why Barbossa could break the bottle was because he used Blackbeard's sword which was used to seal it. Which brings up the question of why didn't he use it against Salazar. Just imagine Barbossa single-handedly controlling 8 ships vs. Salazar.
Jack could still had bartered the compass from Tía Dalma/Calypso to them give it to his captain at the time. My personal fan-theory regarding Jack's lack of luck is that somehow Angelica is using that voodoo doll to fuck with him.
If it's to be the end, then a fine enough end for a series that had long since run its' course. Loved the flashbacks with young Jack and Salazar. I find it odd how people complain about Jack being a 'silly bumbler' in this one when it's literally part of the story that he's down on his luck trying to get his mojo/groove back. ALL of Jack's plans and gambits can appear to be either planned or made up as he goes along, impossible to tell. He's certainly back to his At World's End shape by the time he regains the Pearl. If we're to have one final journey I wrote some ideas for a finale wherein Hernando Cortes (you know; the greedy butcher who started the Aztec tradition of cursing their treasure) appearing to return from the dead and slay Captain Teague, prompting Jack into a journey of discovery and possibly revenge. A fitting end for what some are already calling 'the Spanish trilogy'.
Omg let's go!! My second favorite of the pirates movies😊 a lot of ppl have problems with plot holes etc. but I honestly don't care. I enjoy watching the movie and that's most important to me. I also never saw the post credit scene soooo
Have you guys noticed the Rock star cameos in these POTC films yet? we had Keith Richard's from the Rolling stones as Jack's dad, and Sir Paul McCartney from The Beatles as Jack's uncle Haha. Apparently it became a tradition/in joke that they would do. Also I think a story involving the origins of the Jolly Roger would of made for an interesting narrative if we ever got another movie.
it's hard not to notice, they even annonced each cameo before the movies were released. They even wanted to inculde Keith Richards again for this movie but he couldn't make it (I think he was on tournee).
So one of the funny things that I personally have noticed is when Jack is drunk in this movie you can hear a little bit of his mad hatter from Alice in wonderland coming out especially when he was asking if anyone has seen his bank part
I had the best time with your reactions of this amazing saga! The reunion of Elizabeth and Will was pure poetry, Javier Bardem as Salazar was outstanding, Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa is always amazing and well, our dearest Johnny Deep 😍 we need more Jack Sparrow!
I did like this Pirates film because it had a good premise. However, it left a fruitless cliffhanger at the end with the return of Davy Jones being teased during the post credits scene. With this film being the last in the franchise, there was no need for that in the end.
That and the fact that Jack felt so off the entire movie. Say what you want about Pirates 4 , but at least Jack was still his scheming manipulating self all throughout, with a touch of the humanity he gained from the previous movies still there Here, he just bumbles his way through it like the fool he usually *pretends* he is.
@@filipvadas7602 to be fair, those weren't the best days for Johnny Depp either he was in the middle of a "certain" marriage during those days you can't expect for a troublesome situation like that to have no consequences on-screen at all
I agree With everything you said and I don’t think it’s the ending of the franchise but we all know Johnny Depp isn’t returning so it technically it is going to be the ending of the franchise
@@nickosmond I mean, they announced the sequel kinda right away, so they obviously planned to keep the story going, but the "big guys' decisions" with Depp messed up the thing
@@leonardolonghi3472 I know they’re continuing the series but because Depp isn’t returning it’s gonna feel like a completely different movie It’s kinda like how the Hulk took a steep Down fall from the 2008 movie to where it is right now. Or a better comparison is probably the transformer series where Shia LaBeouf was great in the first three movies after they replaced him they kind of went downhill from there I mean they’re still somewhat redeemable maybe if you wanna argue that but you know the main characters not there the life of the movie is now gone
Idk what it is, but 32:53 is one my favorite shot in this whole movie! The way Jack just so smoothly and suavely looks and walks away from Salazar! It's wonderful! This is not my favorite pirates movie, but I do like the elements in this movie, and it's good enough for me I guess.
Fun fact: If you notice a spot on Jack's jaw, it's actually a joke between Johnny Depp and the make-up department, as the spot is actually meant to be a syphilis scar. You can see the mark growing over the span of the movies, and it explains why Jack doesn't' come off as Jack in this new movie
I just realized that the reason why the monkey Jack is being so nice to Captain Sparrow at the end is because the curse from the first film was also lifted. The end credits of the 1st film revealed that the Monkey went back and took one of the coins to regain the curse, which would be shown in the 2nd film. Now that he’s back to normal and with Barbossa dead, he’s trying to win favor with the captain.
I love this film, it was a better follow up than “stranger tides”. I know this aint a normal film u guys would watch but u might want to check out the cutscenes movie of “Sea of thieves: a pirate’s life”. SOT is an online multiplayer pirate game and last year it expanded with 5 new tall tales(story missions) based on the POTC films and even the Disney park ride. The events take place after this film and see jack use a rare treasure to cross across worlds to the sea of thieves and is followed by the revived davy jones(there is a brief mention of how jones is back). There are lots of characters from and references to the films so if u like the films I’m sure u will like this. Heres a link to the vid with all the cutscenes if u want to watch, would be great if u reacted to it, as it is the only real post film series POTC content we have, it’s the closest to another sequel to hope for right now. Enjoy :) ruclips.net/video/D4e3xDDmW3k/видео.html
i rather dislike this 1 the butcherd the character of jack like hey used to have a skill u dont know if hey is very skilled or drunk luck here he is drunk nothing more
Stranger Tides was ok, maybe a little weaker compared to the other stories but I still loved it. If anything their ultimate goal was weak, Jack didn't really want to become immortal, Blackbeard did. He got forced into searching for it and because Barbossa wanted revenge for the Black Pearl being stolen, he got involved.
@@FireWolf583 see i took it a different way. jack truly did want it but hit a roadblock and gave up, then his desire was complicated by his feelings for angelica. the quest for the fountain tested him, just like his father warned; jack wanted the adventure of eternal life, and in the quest discovered the amazing adventure a mortal life offers. blackbeard wanted the fountain to escape his fate, and for that was claimed by that obsession.
A little trivia, if it hasn’t been mentioned yet... When Johnny Depp filmed “Donnie Brasco” with Al Pacino, JD said in an interview that AP would tell him the same joke every day because JD didn’t “get it” and it took him forever until he did. That joke was the one that Uncle Jack (Paul McCartney) tells in the jail, about the skeleton walking into the bar. That HAD to be an ad-lib thrown in...like a private joke to JD. 😂
One weird plot hole is that Jack has given away his compass before, to Gibbs, i think it was at worlds end (4), not 100% sure. But it was when he said "this will lead you to freedom" in some jungle
While 4 is harmless fun, this one is just bad. So much here doesn't make sense. * For instance the compass, Jack bought it of Tia Dalma and he handed it away multiple times before. * Another is Jacks origin which was that he was part of EIC before the pearl became the pearl. * Being the captain of the Dutchmen is not a curse but a pact if anything. * And even if that counted too, Will is only alive because of it. His heart is no longer in his body. * Will shouldn't been "fishyfied" either if he held up his end of the pact. So that either taking a piss on his character or the writers forgot(which is more likely given the rest of the movie) Etc. The only good thing in the movie is Barbosa.
All correct. It was stated even by Beckett that Jack was employed in EITC years ago around the time Jack was 18-25. During this time he captained the ship The Wicked Wench which was owned by EITC not pirates. So this already conflicts with this movie's flashback (regardless of how good that scene is). Jack got the compass from Tia Dalma/Calypso either sometime after or before his employment at EITC. Jack was branded a pirate by Beckett because he let go slaves during a special mission where he had to deliver slaves to one of Beckett's customers which would have given Beckett higher recognition and even a promotion. This is the mark Jack left on Beckett: embarrassment and betrayal. For this The Wicked Wench and her crew and captain were ordered to be burned and sunk. It was here that Jack desperately asked Davy Jones to bring back his ship which he did, the ship was already blackened because of the fire hence why it was named The Black Pearl. DJ gave Jack 13 years to captain before he was due payment (and we know from here where this goes). The compass was betrayed numerous time during the trilogy so this part makes no sense. The worst of it is how they treated Will and The Flying Dutchman. This is not a curse but a needed supernatural function at sea. Calypso formed this pact to permit souls lost at sea to properly cross over. DJ may have failed his promise but I find it hard to believe that Will would. He knew the task and even willing to promise in keeping his end of the bargain as long as he is allowed to see his family once every ten years (the continuation of this was made by DJ as a spell so that the function can continue if for whatever reason he would die). Being lifted from this would not work since one's heart is no longer a part of them. The only way is death and a new captain selected. I know you brought these points already but I love talking about this in detail just in case.
Yes you are right because The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle back in time it not so much called The Devil's Triangle much most people call it The Bermuda Triangle. This the film that was filmed in Australia. Scenes for Pirates of the Caribbean were also shot on location at Southport Spit and Mount Tamborine near Gold Coast, Cleveland Point further north in Brisbane, and the idyllic Whitsunday Islands.
Okay so I’m gonna explain how Davy Jones is back because it took me a while to figure it out. Wills father is free of Davy Jones curse of the dead man’s chest but the Dutchman is not a cursed ship, it is a supernatural ship so the “it must have a captain rule” still applies. Davy Jones probably went to the locker after his death but the locker is it’s own curse to it’s gone too. Davy Jones is the previous and original captain of the Dutchman because it was given to him by calypso. The reason Jones is still weird and fishy is because that was his punishment from calypso. I’m not sure why will isn’t fishy though.
If it's not a "cursed ship" as you say, then the tridents power of removing curses should not have worked. It's just one of the many plot holes in the movie, best to just take it as it is.
@@gemelwalters2942 please elaborate your point because I’m not sure why you think “it wouldn’t have worked” do you mean will wouldn’t have been freed? Because the dead man’s chest thing is not something that comes from the ship
47:41 sounding just like Will when he used to yell ''Elizabeth!'' The symmetry between Will/Elizabeth and Henry/Carina, and Will/Bootstrap Bill and Will/Henry, in this movie is a delight 😁 side note: I actually liked the part where Salazar abandoned his crew. For me that added to the inhuman vibe he had.
Salazar : "Nothing could stop the Silent Mary". Me : "Oh yeah." Funny is Jack is with Jack Sparrow in the end. Man, that's a huge Monster Energy flask you got there.
My least favorite in the whole franchise, I don't think I'd even want to watch it again because it is just depressing when you start thinking about it, for a bunch of reasons, Depp himself wasn't happy with it.
There are just so many inconsistencies with the movie, things being introduced that went nowhere or established but then quickly discarded. It made no sense that the compass connected to Salazar when Calypso gave jack the compass to begin with or why Barbosa never used the power of Blackbeards sword to defend the ship but he used it to free the pearl. The set designs are great as usual but I didn't enjoy the acting and performance. The romance between Will and Elizabeth felt more genuine, mostly because it took place over 3 films. This one felt rushed. I don't think they should have revisited the Will and Elizabeth story, just let it be and start a new story. Barbosa was the one thing that was consistently good throughout. Now that he's gone, that's it for me personally. As usual if you want to experience a great pirate story, watch the Black Sails series.
Also, Will had been killed by Davy Jones in the third movie, and the Dutchman's curse was what kept him "undead". It makes no sense to break his curse.
@@waterspray5743 breaking the trident broke all curses from ever existing which probably means that the events that led up to him being cursed were erased. Which could be why davy jones is back also. Really not a big deal
How did will and elizabeth feel rushed? It was literally one scene we saw. The reunion scene felt rewarding after not seeing will and elizabeth for like 2 movies bassicaly
Oh ppl thought this one was better than the fourth?? ….. to each their I guess 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️😅 I do love the effects of this one! Javier Bardem makes one badass ghost captain 👀still an amazing franchise over all 👍🏼❤️🔥 I do think Henry’s actor is a perfect choice as Will’s son cuz he looks legit like he couldn’t be Elizabeth’s and Will’s kid 🎉
I interpreted the relationship between Jack and Henry as a drunk uncle and his nephew😂. Also, the point of fact he pretends to care but he secretly really does.
The reason Jones still has his octopus appearance, is because he wasn't cursed. The lifted curses were those brought upon the crews as punishment. Be it stealing the aztec gold or not fullfilling the ferryman duties on the Dutchman. Davy Jones made a deal with Calypso, willingly. His appearance remains, because he still doesn't fullfill his task of ferrying the souls. The ending also implies, that he is now once again captain of the Flying Dutchman, previously being part of the crew under William Turner, as he died shortly before Will became captain.
Okay I know I said I didn't like this movie as much in previous comments but watching your reaction kinda made me appreciate it more xD I didn't like what they did with Barbossa and they are several moments that I didn't like or think were unecessary but I admit it feels great to see Will and Elizabeth again and they are plenty of moments I kinda forgot that I enjoyed again thanks to you ! Also, I agree, Salazar is a great villain (my favourite is still Davy Jones) but the design and his story was so cool !!
Will didn't stop taking soles just because there's stuff growing on his face. If anything is in water long enough stuff will start to grow on it. That's what's happened to will.
The one thing that conflicts me was the origin of the compass. Tia Dalma/Calypso, said she gave that to Jack in Dead Man's Chest, but here it shows his captain gave it to him before dying. So which is it?
This has been quite a journey. All of these have been so good without missing a step. Over $4.5 billion worldwide. Biggest of the theme park based-films. DMTNTs increased so much lore and more darkness. Bloom & Knightly back as the Turners was so cool. G. Rush as Barboosa had an incredible arc (demise unexpected). Sir Paul McCartney as Jack's Uncle (great cameo). That post-credit scene had so much promise and possibility. Depp being let go by Disney over false rumors was a horrible thing. After his proven innocence, he chose not to come back for Pirates 6 anyway. So we still wonder about this franchise's future. I heard that a spinoff was in the works and set to star Margot Robbie. Other than this, it's just what Jack said himself. "It's not so about the destination, it's the journey".
fun fact about the guillotine, the blade would get duller with each execution so at some point they'd have to bring the blade down multiple times to cut the head off
That's not a fun fact. -i also heard it was not compeletley painless even if the head was cut off right away because the cut happens so quickly the brain registers pain before dieing.
Why does the compass let captain salazar and his crew free in the devils triangle? Because the compass has the power to point the direction of what you desired most, (what you want to find). But the moment you betray It, It will unleashed what you fears the most and the person that every pirate fears the most is Captain Salazar.
the way jack gets his compass in this movie is a contradiction to the 2nd movie. there tiadorma/calipso asks him if he still has the compass she gave him (it's the scene where he gets the jar of dirt)
Does ppl really think this is better than the last? I think this is easily the worst one haha. But to each his own! Salazar as a villain I got no problem with tho. But I feel the film as a whole is def the weakest.
Attempt 5 suggesting a movie I think you guys would really enjoy, ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’. I dont want to spoil it so all I’ll say is I think it would be something you’d both enjoy
This might sound silly, but the curse of davy jones was actually like this. Before davy jones became captain of the dutchman, someone else was. I think it follows history a bit, the previous captain was captain van der decken. Who died along with his crew and had to sail the sees for eternity. His heart got stabbed by davy jones, who then became the next captain of the flying dutchman until will stabbed the heart, and he became the new captain. When that curse broke, it must've reverted the captain of the flying dutchman back to Davy Jones (I'm not sure)
It's hard to watch this, knowing the Hell that Johnny Depp was going through while filming this. Easter egg hunt: Try to see when Disney had to CGI his injured finger.
38:08 absolutely hilarious :D i honestly don't believe this movie deserved all the hate it has gotten. for me, it definitely is the funniest one out of the franchise. and as always, thanks for another great reaction guys
Who was your favorite Pirates villian? I think Salazar was mine!!
Salazar was great, but he was wasted as a villain. He had the potential to be like Davy Jones, to be in multiple movies, but sadly it was not to be. He was definitely the darkest and maybe the scariest villain in POTC. I never found Jones scary.
Davy Jones, no contest.
Davy Jones!
Davy Jones is the most nuanced Pirates villain.
Davy Jones
Fun Fact: The Wicked Wench from Salazar's backstory is actually the Black Pearl. The backstory is that the East India Trading Company (more specifically Beckett) burnt and sank the Black Pearl because Jack freed 100 slaves he was supposed to sell for Beckett. In turn, Jack turned to Davy Jones to raise the ship from the depths. And due to the ship's Black burnt appearance, Jack re-christened the Wicked Wench the Black Pearl. This is also why Jones requested 100 souls for Jack's. Nice subtle reference.
Cephalods have skeletons????
Unless the kraken is a whole another species of its own
@@primus3217 Apperently it isbt the Kraken, nevermind, I thought that was the case, turns out it isn't. I saw that "fact" in a Potc 5 breakdown back in 2017. Sorry
@@primus3217 Some cephalopods have hard structures inside them. Cuttlefish have hard calcium-carbon based shells in their bodies, but it's not really a bone since it's for buoyancy and not muscle support.
Don't leave out why Beckett burned it! Jack freed 100 slaves. That's also why Jack's debt to Jones was 100 souls, as a cruel nod to why he was indebted to Jones in the first place.
@@brabbit736 Wow I didn't even know this part of the story! I just thought Beckett did it because Jack was a pirate

Barbosa: "Treasure..."
Just realised both will and his son were on a quest to "free" their father from the dutchman! Sick full circle
Oh a yeah!!!
I assume gramps is still on the boat and was giving them some family reunion time before making an appearance and introducing himself XD
@@Trenchcoat3 So in At World's End Will's dad said despite the fact he's no longer bound he felt like he had a debt to pay off. He didn't think he had earned his freedom and so chose to continue to serve on the Flying Dutchman under Will's command.
@@whitenoisereacts jude law we'll play Captain Hook in Disney's live action version of Peter Pan
@@Trenchcoat3 fun fact: gramps was freed by will and legend has it he still don't understand the dice game, he jumps out of nowhere to bet out of 6 dice screaming "my soul for eternity on 7 sixes" at the last second like he is some sort of dirty looking semi-senile dummy giving himself in slavarey and people would rather keep this low iQ cursed-coin collecting lunatic out of their lives..
I worked as an extra on this film in the execution scene with the guillotine. It was Johnny's 50th birthday one day and we got to celebrate with him. There was 600 of us, so it was a very long process, but such a great time.
That’s really cool
@@whitenoisereacts I don't think Salazar is dead
ok so the thing with Davy Jones is that the Flying Dutchman must ALWAYS have a captain, because the souls of sailors who die at sea need a ferryman. Each captain is a single curse, and Will was broken free without being killed. To remedy this, Davy Jones was resurrected and returned to his post as captain.
There's a small retcon with how Jack got the compass. In the second movie, Tia Dalma/Calypso mentions offhand that he bartered for it from her. In this movie, he gets it from his former captain. Some people argue further that the greater lore was changed, what with Jack "giving up" the compass to several people throughout the series, BUT... In my opinion, it's about what the compass SYMBOLIZES. In the first movie, Jack tells Elizabeth "What the Black Pearl truly is, is freedom." The compass is a symbol of the spirit of adventure. It's specifically said that if you BETRAY the compass, it unleashes your greatest fear-- just just by giving it to someone. When Jack sold it for a drink, he was giving up on everything that compass stood for, and THAT'S why it unleashed Salazar.
Also in the other movies when Jack did give the compass to someone else, like Will in At World's End, bad things did happen to him. He had a fear of being stuck with Davy Jones and shortly after giving it to Will, his bargain with Norrington is exposed and he gets sent to the Flying Dutchman.
It's not really a small retcon since Tia Dalma and Jack are linked by the compass, and Davy Jones. This is just erasing one of her principal actions from the lore.
@@beng4ll967 it's just the mandela effect being present in this universe, as in both expositions we are given as to how jack got the compass it comes from a flashback or memory/ Different people remembering the past differently. Jack has drank so much rum he wouldn't know anyway
this bothered me ever since I first watched this love, and I really loved this thought process ❤ I'll accept your explanation for it 😊
"What am I to you?"
"Treasure..."
That dialog always gets me misty-eyed.
Imagine having to wait years to see Will and Elizabeth back together, we suffered
Literally 10 years actually. We last saw them in POTC 3 (released May 25, 2007) & then had to wait until POTC 5 (released May 26, 2017) till we saw them again
Pretty neat honestly
My understanding is that the reason jones is back is because being captain of the Dutchman isn't actually a curse. It is a title bestowed to those who have essentially made a deal with calypso.
So was the heart in the box the part that was the curse? But Calypso still required them to do the job, despite having his heart back in his chest wouldn't he still need to do the job? Is that why he had that nightmare maybe? He has his heart and can go on land now but he still abandoned the job? I'm trying to work this out, lol
@@Trenchcoat3 yeah, I think it is something like that
I feel like after he "died", Calypso allowed him to come back. The ending tells me Davy Jones isn't happy about losing ship and crew and maybe wants revenge against Will.
Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life, which takes place after this movie, went with the explanation that Will being freed from the Dutchman inadvertently resurrected Jones, because, after all, the Dutchman needs a captain.
@@FireWolf583 I have a similar hypothesis.
i LOVE that we got to see Will and Elizabeth's reunion, makes me tear up every time. i agree with James, the next one needs to be a romcom and they need to live happily ever after 😇
Me too.
Fun fact: Keira Knightley never wanted to be in POTC again because she'd done it for so long and was ready for something new. When the director approached her about filming that reunion with Will, she jumped on it because it would be a one- time thing and the fans were excited to see Will and Elizabeth together again.
@@FireWolf583 good to know.
I love this movie, despite what others say. This movie felt more a part of the story as a whole than Stranger tides. Stranger tides felt like a spin off. But this I felt picked up right where we left off with the third one and had many emotional scenes, and of course the old crew back. So yeah, I definantly enjoyed this one more than stranger tides.
ive always considered jack the face of the franchise and the turners the "side-mission", feels weird calling a part of jack's story a spin-off.
but youre right, from the first movie the director probably meant for turner's story to be main
I agree for sure
I wouldn't say a spin-off as it was a different adventure they set off on which we saw at the end of At World's End that Jack was going after the fountain of youth. And maybe cos of the different graphics.
This one on the other hand brought back other characters but changed some story lines
There a detail in this that I never noticed. When Barbossa meets with Shansa, the witch, she asks him if his treasure is worth dying for. When Carina asks him who she is to him, he says treasure right before sacrificing himself to save her.
Salazar had so much potential as an antagonist. They could have given him almost as much depth as Davy Jones, perhaps more.
Even in the context of this somewhat goofy universe, most pirates murdered , pillaged and raped everywhere they went ,while giving no mercy when the opportunity presented itself.
For all terms and purposes, Salazar was just a man who said that enough was enough and decided to actually do something about it.
Does that make him as bad as the pirates he hates?
Yes, but you can't deny the results.
Even decades after his death, pirate lords like Barbossa brick their pants at the mere mention of his name.
If Davy Jones was the devil to pirates, Salazar was their boogeyman.
yeah
Yes well said. Salazar was among my favorite villains in the trilogy. But they had him so underutilized. As you said he had the potential to be a fantastic villain and a threat to everyone.
Cos we seen the reaction of Barbossa at the mere mention of his name. He really was their boogeyman.
Perfectly said.
Jack in The first movie "not all treasure is of silver and gold mate"
Carina to barbossa"what am I to you?"
Barbossa "treasure"
Fun fact: this movie was filmed in Australia, and most of the extra cast are Australians.
Salazar's men, except for his Lieutenant (the guy with the eyepatch), are all played by Aussies as well.
Javier Bardem is great at playing villains, if you've seen No Country For Old Men you'd probably know that. He himself, however, is the least scariest person you could come across, in fact, he hates violence and even hates using guns.
Kaya Scodelario, who plays Caryna, described him as being a teddy bear, and Brentan Thwaites, who plays Henry, stated that during the time they filmed where Salazar confronts Jack on the beach, between shoots Javier ad Juan Carlos Vellido (who plays Lesaro, his Leautenant) would start messing about in the water like a couple of 5 year olds XD
No Country For Old Men character scared me, then he was in Lyle, Lyle Crocodile? 😳
@@baskervillebee6097 His name is Javier Bardem, and yes, he's good at playing bad guys but he's the nicest man in real life, and he hates violence.
55:01 very happy 😃 to see them reunited with Will and Elizabeth again.
One thing that bugs me about the film is the way that Jack gets the compass when in dead man's chest we see that calypso says she gave Jack the compass which means the link with Salazar wouldn't make sense
Jack acquired the compass from the mystic Tia Dalma, but the magical compass was initially acquired by Jack from Dalma to give to his captain Morgan, at that times captain of the Black Pearl ; however, when his captain died killed by Armando Salazar, Morgan, before dying, gave to Jack his compass and the command of his ship.
@@williamdrake6711 that doesn't hold up. If she traded it to Jack then it belonged TO jack. Not his captain. It's obviously something they tried to retcon for this story that just doesn't work well. Even if it did, what's the link to Salazar?
@@williamdrake6711 The Black Pearl was originally named the Wicked Wench, a ship owned and operated by the East India Trading Company. At that time, Jack worked for Beckett, but when he discovered that he had to transport "cargo," which was in fact 100 slaves, he set them free. This angered Beckett, so he had the ship burned up and sunk and personally branded Jack as a pirate. It is at this moment that Jack struct a deal with Davy Jones to raise the Pearl from the depths and make him captain for 13 years. The rest is history.
@@waterspray5743 the hell are you talking about I didn't say anything about the ship or anything else
@@williamdrake6711 My mistake, I was replying to the original comment.
I never exactly remember the plot of this movie, might be from the ambiguous stuff happening and such, but I still love it to bits and every single POTC movie has a special place in my heart for nostalgia reasons
Oh that Peter Pan! I thought you meant the animated version. Ooh, now I'm really excited. I would be lying if I pretended Jeremy Sumpter (Peter) was not my crush after that movie.
I enjoyed this movie too. That toenail scene was just wrong to me so I don't watch this one too often cause I'd be skipping past that every time. Still think the rest is great.
I was madly in love w/ Jeremy Sumpter’s Peter Pan lmao. Also, the soundtrack to that movie is absolute perfection!!
Jason Isaacs is the best Captain Hook.
They should also check out Pan from 2015. It's a bit of an interesting back story on Peter Pan and Captain Hook.
Salazar was the best thing in this movie, though I still love Jack and Barbossa in this movie, too.
He was SO AWESOME
Me too.
Javier Bardem decided to be in this POTC movie because his wife, Penelope Cruz, had already been in the previous one. He wanted to do it for their kids.
@@nycot107 that’s good.
Oh thats sorta awesome
So sad that the scene that hints Davy Jones return will either not happen now or be crap since Johnny Depp won't be returning as Jack sparrow.
Davy Jones was my favourite villain of the franchise. And nobody can replace Johnny Depp as Jack either 😟
There's no POTC without Depp.
No one can replace Geoffrey Rush too as Barbossa
I’m pretty sure Disney said that they were going to do a film just focusing on Will and Elizabeth so it’s possible that Davy Jones will come back with or without Jack Sparrow in the film. Though I could be wrong since the next pirates film is full of speculations as of now.
If they give permission, and get paid well, the studio could just CGI their characters into the movie, like Jar Jar Binks.
@@ClayLoomis1958 The name you mentioned at the end is a name no says out loud
@@TheFantasylover96 I don't see how they could since Keira Knightley is never coming back
I always felt like the story would almost have been better if Henry remained an eleven, twelve year old boy who found Jack after stowing away on ships and being resourceful, and Jack initially decided to at the very least see this little inconvenience home safely as a favor to Elizabeth, until he produced some kind of clue that persuaded Jack that all right, so maybe the trident of Poseidon aren't all myth; so he tells Gibbs to "hide the rum" and tells the lad with the exaggerated grin that you know what, lad, we might be able to help your father after all, and that they were going to take a detour. Shenanigans ensue.
Just the idea of a Jack Sparrow transitioning from something akin to a reluctant babysitter to a funny uncle for twelve year old Henry as Will and Elizabeth's son grows on him sounds really wholesome to me, as Henry proves to be quick-witted and resourceful, and might use the fact that he is a child to get into a place no adult civilian, let alone pirate, could simply walk through the door by claiming one of the red-coats guarding it was his father, and steal something Jack needs. Sort of like when Mullroy and Murtogg starts bickering, and Jack looks from one to the other with a "oh my god, these two..." look, only this time it is Henry who looks between Jack and Gibbs as they quibble about the best way to get inside this area, and though they freak out a bit when they find Henry gone, once he shows up again, with what Jack needs for the journey, Jack can acknowledge his wit and take him on as a cabin boy for the remainder of the voyage, and stops walking on eggshells around him because he is capable, and not simply little "Will's boy" or "Elizabeth's son".
It'd also help differentiate this film from each other, and if we skip some of the unnecessary retcons...
You can definitely see where this story had a lot of flaws, especially in regards to continuity.
-Jack Sparrow had actually found the Trident of Poseidon as a teenager in the young Jack Sparrow series.
-The Wicked Wench (the ship that would become the Black Pearl) had belonged to the East India Trading Company back when Jack was a privateer in their fleet. So why this random pirate has it beforehand, I don't know.
-Tia Dalma stated in Dead Man's Chest that Jack had bartered the Compass from her, yet we see here that Jack was given the Compass by Morgan. And if the Compass released his worst fear (not sure why it was Salazar, as he never demonstrated any fear of him at all in his youth) when it was given away, then why didn't it do so every time Jack gave it away to Elizabeth, Will and Gibbs?
-We see Scrum and Marty are part of Jack's crew and that Murtogg and Mulroy are serving Barbossa, but we never learn of why Scrum left Barbossa for Jack, or how Marty, Murtogg and Mulroy survived Blackbeard's assault on the Black Pearl.
-We see that there is a huge gap of years between this movie and At World's End. We never learn how Will and the Dutchman became cursed (at the after credits scene in AWE when Will returns to Elizabeth and Henry after 10 years, he looks perfectly fine.) and we never learn of what became of Elizabeth during that time. Did she resign as Pirate King and Pirate Lord of the South China Sea?
-Much as I liked seeing Davy Jones back, it didn't make sense for him to appear in his cursed form, as the destruction of the Trident of Poseidon would have undone all the curses of the sea, including his.
I think his worst fear keeps changing. In At World's End he gave it to Will and was scared of being stuck with Davy Jones' crew. Shortly after giving it away he was imprisoned on Jones' ship.
The reason why Will sees Davy Jones is because the ship "must ALWAYS have a captain", symbolizing that Will gave up the ship to be with Elizabeth. Davy wants his ship back.
Will wasn't cursed so to speak, because of so many years spent underwater and with the ship he started growing barnacles. Davy became a squid because he refused to ferry souls to retaliate against Calypso.
I love how Jack in this film was not himself because that woman in the 4th one curse him and henry though he was not what his mum told him about the Captain Jack Sparrow she knew but he did show him that he was Captain Jack Sparrow that his mum told him about later in the film. It feels after the trident got destroyed it felt like the real Jack return to us and he got everything back. His luck, ship and crew.
Credit to Barbossa, as soon he's back and not cursed anymore, he makes the most out of everything and lives life to the fullest.
Credit scene: now that all curses are broken, all bets are off. It's ambiguous. ☠
7:07 ''Please?'' BAHA, who the heck is gonna say no to this guy?! 😅
(I've edited this comment based on some replies)
I enjoyed the usual pirate shenanigans but I get why people hate this film. It has so many inconsistencies with the plot of the prequels and I'll list a few:
1. Jack was given the compass by Calypso and not the guy on the ship. In Part 2, she asks why the compass she gave him can't lead him to what he wants and he gave it away numerous times after that. So why didn't Salazar come since? Saying he didn't want it this time isn't feasible as he traded it for certain things with Will and Lord Beckett. Also, if that was the case, who told Salazar about the compass?
2. At the end of part 4, Jack was told he had to do a ritual involving a crossbow, goats,a trumpet and a man waving his fingers to free the black pearl from the bottle. Why didn't Jack do the ritual since and free the Black Pearl? Also, what happened to the other ships Gibbs collected?
Jack should have been an admiral by now.
3. Will wasn't under a curse. Davy Jones was because he stopped doing his duty. There's nowhere we're told that Will neglected his duty. Also the broken curses by the trident should have turned Davy Jones normal in the end credits but he's dead so he shouldn't even be there.
4. The pirates suddenly seem very daft. The same pirates skilled in navigation, have a court, poetic speech and code of conduct etc can no longer understand simple marine navigation terms? So a horologist has to explain?
5. Did Jack really run out of luck or it was an excuse to push the plot of Salazar? Cos if it's bad luck, he's been unlucky since part 1. Remember when one of the other pirates in jail in Part 1 told him he was unlucky when the Black Pearl's cannon blew open their cell and left his until Will came to save him? In part 2, his crew confronts him after he comes out of the coffin in the beginning because they don't seem to have a direction and Jack confused them with English.
Think about it, he's only had the Black Pearl in 1 out of 5 movies (Dead Man's Chest) and even that wasn't much as he was chased about by Davy Jones and the British Navy.
Overall, this movie seems more like a spin-off and not a sequel. I guess it's why people don't like it. At least Part 4 followed the first 3 and I enjoyed it. Seems like the directors just wanted their own story.
The reason why Barbossa could break the bottle was because he used Blackbeard's sword which was used to seal it. Which brings up the question of why didn't he use it against Salazar.
Just imagine Barbossa single-handedly controlling 8 ships vs. Salazar.
Jack could still had bartered the compass from Tía Dalma/Calypso to them give it to his captain at the time.
My personal fan-theory regarding Jack's lack of luck is that somehow Angelica is using that voodoo doll to fuck with him.
Those are some of the may reason I dont like this movie. The only thing I liked what the ending XD
Yeah this pretty much sums up why I didn't like this.
@@b.u.l.1734 Lmaoo I wish they had put that in the film. It'd have made so much more sense
In this series which gets pretty hilarious at times, Salazar is probably the only one who doesn't mess around
If it's to be the end, then a fine enough end for a series that had long since run its' course. Loved the flashbacks with young Jack and Salazar. I find it odd how people complain about Jack being a 'silly bumbler' in this one when it's literally part of the story that he's down on his luck trying to get his mojo/groove back. ALL of Jack's plans and gambits can appear to be either planned or made up as he goes along, impossible to tell. He's certainly back to his At World's End shape by the time he regains the Pearl.
If we're to have one final journey I wrote some ideas for a finale wherein Hernando Cortes (you know; the greedy butcher who started the Aztec tradition of cursing their treasure) appearing to return from the dead and slay Captain Teague, prompting Jack into a journey of discovery and possibly revenge. A fitting end for what some are already calling 'the Spanish trilogy'.
Omg let's go!! My second favorite of the pirates movies😊 a lot of ppl have problems with plot holes etc. but I honestly don't care. I enjoy watching the movie and that's most important to me. I also never saw the post credit scene soooo

Dead men tell no tales 🪦⚰
It would be amazing if Disney did a cross over movie with Peter pan and the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. That would be epic.
Have you guys noticed the Rock star cameos in these POTC films yet? we had Keith Richard's from the Rolling stones as Jack's dad, and Sir Paul McCartney from The Beatles as Jack's uncle Haha. Apparently it became a tradition/in joke that they would do. Also I think a story involving the origins of the Jolly Roger would of made for an interesting narrative if we ever got another movie.
it's hard not to notice, they even annonced each cameo before the movies were released. They even wanted to inculde Keith Richards again for this movie but he couldn't make it (I think he was on tournee).
Salazar: dead men tell no tales
Also Salazar: tells his tale
14:42 That's in little error: Galileo galilei did not invent the telescope, he perfected it because at the beginning it was designed only as a toy
So one of the funny things that I personally have noticed is when Jack is drunk in this movie you can hear a little bit of his mad hatter from Alice in wonderland coming out especially when he was asking if anyone has seen his bank part
I had the best time with your reactions of this amazing saga! The reunion of Elizabeth and Will was pure poetry, Javier Bardem as Salazar was outstanding, Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa is always amazing and well, our dearest Johnny Deep 😍 we need more Jack Sparrow!
I did like this Pirates film because it had a good premise. However, it left a fruitless cliffhanger at the end with the return of Davy Jones being teased during the post credits scene. With this film being the last in the franchise, there was no need for that in the end.
That and the fact that Jack felt so off the entire movie.
Say what you want about Pirates 4 , but at least Jack was still his scheming manipulating self all throughout, with a touch of the humanity he gained from the previous movies still there
Here, he just bumbles his way through it like the fool he usually *pretends* he is.
@@filipvadas7602 to be fair, those weren't the best days for Johnny Depp either
he was in the middle of a "certain" marriage during those days
you can't expect for a troublesome situation like that to have no consequences on-screen at all
I agree With everything you said and I don’t think it’s the ending of the franchise but we all know Johnny Depp isn’t returning so it technically it is going to be the ending of the franchise
@@nickosmond I mean, they announced the sequel kinda right away, so they obviously planned to keep the story going, but the "big guys' decisions" with Depp messed up the thing
@@leonardolonghi3472 I know they’re continuing the series but because Depp isn’t returning it’s gonna feel like a completely different movie It’s kinda like how the Hulk took a steep Down fall from the 2008 movie to where it is right now. Or a better comparison is probably the transformer series where Shia LaBeouf was great in the first three movies after they replaced him they kind of went downhill from there I mean they’re still somewhat redeemable maybe if you wanna argue that but you know the main characters not there the life of the movie is now gone
I like that even when they have multiple "dead" crews they always manage to find a unique design for them
Idk what it is, but 32:53 is one my favorite shot in this whole movie! The way Jack just so smoothly and suavely looks and walks away from Salazar! It's wonderful! This is not my favorite pirates movie, but I do like the elements in this movie, and it's good enough for me I guess.
Fun fact: If you notice a spot on Jack's jaw, it's actually a joke between Johnny Depp and the make-up department, as the spot is actually meant to be a syphilis scar. You can see the mark growing over the span of the movies, and it explains why Jack doesn't' come off as Jack in this new movie
I just realized that the reason why the monkey Jack is being so nice to Captain Sparrow at the end is because the curse from the first film was also lifted. The end credits of the 1st film revealed that the Monkey went back and took one of the coins to regain the curse, which would be shown in the 2nd film. Now that he’s back to normal and with Barbossa dead, he’s trying to win favor with the captain.
I love this film, it was a better follow up than “stranger tides”. I know this aint a normal film u guys would watch but u might want to check out the cutscenes movie of “Sea of thieves: a pirate’s life”. SOT is an online multiplayer pirate game and last year it expanded with 5 new tall tales(story missions) based on the POTC films and even the Disney park ride. The events take place after this film and see jack use a rare treasure to cross across worlds to the sea of thieves and is followed by the revived davy jones(there is a brief mention of how jones is back). There are lots of characters from and references to the films so if u like the films I’m sure u will like this. Heres a link to the vid with all the cutscenes if u want to watch, would be great if u reacted to it, as it is the only real post film series POTC content we have, it’s the closest to another sequel to hope for right now. Enjoy :) ruclips.net/video/D4e3xDDmW3k/видео.html

Stranger Tides was ok, maybe a little weaker compared to the other stories but I still loved it. If anything their ultimate goal was weak, Jack didn't really want to become immortal, Blackbeard did. He got forced into searching for it and because Barbossa wanted revenge for the Black Pearl being stolen, he got involved.
@@FireWolf583 see i took it a different way. jack truly did want it but hit a roadblock and gave up, then his desire was complicated by his feelings for angelica. the quest for the fountain tested him, just like his father warned; jack wanted the adventure of eternal life, and in the quest discovered the amazing adventure a mortal life offers. blackbeard wanted the fountain to escape his fate, and for that was claimed by that obsession.
White noise always making me discover post credit scenes
A little trivia, if it hasn’t been mentioned yet...
When Johnny Depp filmed “Donnie Brasco” with Al Pacino, JD said in an interview that AP would tell him the same joke every day because JD didn’t “get it” and it took him forever until he did. That joke was the one that Uncle Jack (Paul McCartney) tells in the jail, about the skeleton walking into the bar. That HAD to be an ad-lib thrown in...like a private joke to JD. 😂
One weird plot hole is that Jack has given away his compass before, to Gibbs, i think it was at worlds end (4), not 100% sure. But it was when he said "this will lead you to freedom" in some jungle
Captain Salazar is married to Angelica from the Pirates of the Caribbean " On Stranger Tides".😊
I have never notcied that there was an end credit scene!!!! Im so glad i watched this!!!
You probably know this but Javier Bardem is Penelope Cruz' s husband. He was actually considered to play Blackbeard in 4 at first.
I wish they could have done more with Salazar he was hands down my favorite character In this movie.
I agree!!
Since you were wondering, in its heyday, the silent mary had 76 cannons.
While 4 is harmless fun, this one is just bad.
So much here doesn't make sense.
* For instance the compass, Jack bought it of Tia Dalma and he handed it away multiple times before.
* Another is Jacks origin which was that he was part of EIC before the pearl became the pearl.
* Being the captain of the Dutchmen is not a curse but a pact if anything.
* And even if that counted too, Will is only alive because of it. His heart is no longer in his body.
* Will shouldn't been "fishyfied" either if he held up his end of the pact. So that either taking a piss on his character or the writers forgot(which is more likely given the rest of the movie)
Etc.
The only good thing in the movie is Barbosa.
All correct. It was stated even by Beckett that Jack was employed in EITC years ago around the time Jack was 18-25. During this time he captained the ship The Wicked Wench which was owned by EITC not pirates. So this already conflicts with this movie's flashback (regardless of how good that scene is). Jack got the compass from Tia Dalma/Calypso either sometime after or before his employment at EITC. Jack was branded a pirate by Beckett because he let go slaves during a special mission where he had to deliver slaves to one of Beckett's customers which would have given Beckett higher recognition and even a promotion.
This is the mark Jack left on Beckett: embarrassment and betrayal. For this The Wicked Wench and her crew and captain were ordered to be burned and sunk. It was here that Jack desperately asked Davy Jones to bring back his ship which he did, the ship was already blackened because of the fire hence why it was named The Black Pearl. DJ gave Jack 13 years to captain before he was due payment (and we know from here where this goes). The compass was betrayed numerous time during the trilogy so this part makes no sense.
The worst of it is how they treated Will and The Flying Dutchman. This is not a curse but a needed supernatural function at sea. Calypso formed this pact to permit souls lost at sea to properly cross over. DJ may have failed his promise but I find it hard to believe that Will would. He knew the task and even willing to promise in keeping his end of the bargain as long as he is allowed to see his family once every ten years (the continuation of this was made by DJ as a spell so that the function can continue if for whatever reason he would die). Being lifted from this would not work since one's heart is no longer a part of them. The only way is death and a new captain selected.
I know you brought these points already but I love talking about this in detail just in case.
Please watch STAR TREK! Give it a chance! 🖖
Yes you are right because The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle back in time it not so much called The Devil's Triangle much most people call it The Bermuda Triangle. This the film that was filmed in Australia. Scenes for Pirates of the Caribbean were also shot on location at Southport Spit and Mount Tamborine near Gold Coast, Cleveland Point further north in Brisbane, and the idyllic Whitsunday Islands.
I love the music for will and Elizabeth...There are so many Emotion in it
Okay so I’m gonna explain how Davy Jones is back because it took me a while to figure it out. Wills father is free of Davy Jones curse of the dead man’s chest but the Dutchman is not a cursed ship, it is a supernatural ship so the “it must have a captain rule” still applies. Davy Jones probably went to the locker after his death but the locker is it’s own curse to it’s gone too. Davy Jones is the previous and original captain of the Dutchman because it was given to him by calypso. The reason Jones is still weird and fishy is because that was his punishment from calypso. I’m not sure why will isn’t fishy though.
If it's not a "cursed ship" as you say, then the tridents power of removing curses should not have worked. It's just one of the many plot holes in the movie, best to just take it as it is.
@@gemelwalters2942 please elaborate your point because I’m not sure why you think “it wouldn’t have worked” do you mean will wouldn’t have been freed? Because the dead man’s chest thing is not something that comes from the ship
To me, Salazar was a combination of Barbossa from the first movie (cursed undead) and Lord Beckett (wants to end piracy).
For me he is a combination of all three villains from the first Trilogie: He also comes for Jack Sparrow like Davey Jones before.
47:41 sounding just like Will when he used to yell ''Elizabeth!'' The symmetry between Will/Elizabeth and Henry/Carina, and Will/Bootstrap Bill and Will/Henry, in this movie is a delight 😁 side note: I actually liked the part where Salazar abandoned his crew. For me that added to the inhuman vibe he had.
The Dutchman must always have a captain despite the trident being destroyed.
Salazar : "Nothing could stop the Silent Mary".
Me : "Oh yeah."
Funny is Jack is with Jack Sparrow in the end.
Man, that's a huge Monster Energy flask you got there.
As much as I hate the Retcons and bullshit done in this and the last movie, it does make me love Barbossa and his story and life.
“i want the next to be a rom-com” YES LOLLL please let them live happily ever after
LET'S GOOOOOOOO !!
My least favorite in the whole franchise, I don't think I'd even want to watch it again because it is just depressing when you start thinking about it, for a bunch of reasons, Depp himself wasn't happy with it.
8:48 is just spilled my tea, you got me
There are just so many inconsistencies with the movie, things being introduced that went nowhere or established but then quickly discarded. It made no sense that the compass connected to Salazar when Calypso gave jack the compass to begin with or why Barbosa never used the power of Blackbeards sword to defend the ship but he used it to free the pearl. The set designs are great as usual but I didn't enjoy the acting and performance. The romance between Will and Elizabeth felt more genuine, mostly because it took place over 3 films. This one felt rushed. I don't think they should have revisited the Will and Elizabeth story, just let it be and start a new story. Barbosa was the one thing that was consistently good throughout. Now that he's gone, that's it for me personally. As usual if you want to experience a great pirate story, watch the Black Sails series.
Also, Will had been killed by Davy Jones in the third movie, and the Dutchman's curse was what kept him "undead". It makes no sense to break his curse.
@@waterspray5743 breaking the trident broke all curses from ever existing which probably means that the events that led up to him being cursed were erased. Which could be why davy jones is back also.
Really not a big deal
How did will and elizabeth feel rushed? It was literally one scene we saw. The reunion scene felt rewarding after not seeing will and elizabeth for like 2 movies bassicaly
Oh ppl thought this one was better than the fourth?? ….. to each their I guess 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️😅 I do love the effects of this one! Javier Bardem makes one badass ghost captain 👀still an amazing franchise over all 👍🏼❤️🔥 I do think Henry’s actor is a perfect choice as Will’s son cuz he looks legit like he couldn’t be Elizabeth’s and Will’s kid 🎉
I just realised carina and barbosa have the same eye colour. Beautiful 💛🔥
I interpreted the relationship between Jack and Henry as a drunk uncle and his nephew😂. Also, the point of fact he pretends to care but he secretly really does.
I've beenn waithinng!!
The reason Jones still has his octopus appearance, is because he wasn't cursed. The lifted curses were those brought upon the crews as punishment. Be it stealing the aztec gold or not fullfilling the ferryman duties on the Dutchman. Davy Jones made a deal with Calypso, willingly. His appearance remains, because he still doesn't fullfill his task of ferrying the souls. The ending also implies, that he is now once again captain of the Flying Dutchman, previously being part of the crew under William Turner, as he died shortly before Will became captain.
Okay I know I said I didn't like this movie as much in previous comments but watching your reaction kinda made me appreciate it more xD I didn't like what they did with Barbossa and they are several moments that I didn't like or think were unecessary but I admit it feels great to see Will and Elizabeth again and they are plenty of moments I kinda forgot that I enjoyed again thanks to you !
Also, I agree, Salazar is a great villain (my favourite is still Davy Jones) but the design and his story was so cool !!
Will didn't stop taking soles just because there's stuff growing on his face. If anything is in water long enough stuff will start to grow on it. That's what's happened to will.
I'm excited and ready to cry again
I felt the exact same when i placed the paper boats in the pool...
The "Final Chapter" in the POTC Saga.
At least until the next movie will be made....
It's funny how Henry looks just like his mother except pretty. 🤣
The one thing that conflicts me was the origin of the compass. Tia Dalma/Calypso, said she gave that to Jack in Dead Man's Chest, but here it shows his captain gave it to him before dying. So which is it?
Maybe she lied…
This has been quite a journey.
All of these have been so good without missing a step.
Over $4.5 billion worldwide.
Biggest of the theme park based-films.
DMTNTs increased so much lore and more darkness.
Bloom & Knightly back as the Turners was so cool.
G. Rush as Barboosa had an incredible arc (demise unexpected).
Sir Paul McCartney as Jack's Uncle (great cameo).
That post-credit scene had so much promise and possibility.
Depp being let go by Disney over false rumors was a horrible thing.
After his proven innocence, he chose not to come back for Pirates 6 anyway.
So we still wonder about this franchise's future.
I heard that a spinoff was in the works and set to star Margot Robbie.
Other than this, it's just what Jack said himself.
"It's not so about the destination, it's the journey".
fun fact about the guillotine, the blade would get duller with each execution so at some point they'd have to bring the blade down multiple times to cut the head off
That's not a fun fact. -i also heard it was not compeletley painless even if the head was cut off right away because the cut happens so quickly the brain registers pain before dieing.
I cry every time I see Elizabeth walk over that hill. But I always do it with a smile.
Why does the compass let captain salazar and his crew free in the devils triangle? Because the compass has the power to point the direction of what you desired most, (what you want to find). But the moment you betray It, It will unleashed what you fears the most and the person that every pirate fears the most is Captain Salazar.
This movie healed the grudge I had against Disney for over a DECADE for what they did separating Will and Elizabeth! Glad they saw the light.
Youre perspectives are so amazing. Favorite reactors by far.
the way jack gets his compass in this movie is a contradiction to the 2nd movie. there tiadorma/calipso asks him if he still has the compass she gave him (it's the scene where he gets the jar of dirt)
Brenton Thwaites who playing Henry Turner is Aussie too. Anthony De La Torre played the young Jack Sparrow.
Will and Elizabeth are everything 💞
David Wenham also plays Carl in Van Helsing and and a soldier in the movie 300 and 300 Rise of an Empire
Ngl Barbossa sacrificing himself always makes me tear up
Fun Fact: The Pirate in the Prison who called Jack Jackyboy is played by Paul McCartney!
Does ppl really think this is better than the last? I think this is easily the worst one haha. But to each his own!
Salazar as a villain I got no problem with tho. But I feel the film as a whole is def the weakest.
Spirit stallion of the Cimarron reaction... I'll keeping waiting 😏
I see the crew of salazar as the skeleton crew from the first movie just way more ghost like and also in the say as well
Attempt 5 suggesting a movie I think you guys would really enjoy, ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’. I dont want to spoil it so all I’ll say is I think it would be something you’d both enjoy
This might sound silly, but the curse of davy jones was actually like this. Before davy jones became captain of the dutchman, someone else was. I think it follows history a bit, the previous captain was captain van der decken. Who died along with his crew and had to sail the sees for eternity. His heart got stabbed by davy jones, who then became the next captain of the flying dutchman until will stabbed the heart, and he became the new captain. When that curse broke, it must've reverted the captain of the flying dutchman back to Davy Jones (I'm not sure)
It's hard to watch this, knowing the Hell that Johnny Depp was going through while filming this. Easter egg hunt: Try to see when Disney had to CGI his injured finger.
Remember that davy jones wasn't cursed by the sea, he was cursed by Calypso
38:08 absolutely hilarious :D
i honestly don't believe this movie deserved all the hate it has gotten. for me, it definitely is the funniest one out of the franchise.
and as always, thanks for another great reaction guys
By far my fav pirates movie.
