Blackbeard is SEVERELY underused, he's the most well known pirate in the irl world, they could have made so much better with his character, but he's just reduced to a douchebag with a cool ship and a cool sword
On Stranger Tides is a different kind of Pirates movie. Rather than seeing Jack cause chaos for Will and Elizabeth because of deals he shouldn't have made, we see him facing consequences of his choices directly. Jack is struggling to adapt to life without being on the Black Pearl again. He has a sound tactical mind who thrives on mischief to get what he wants. Add the ex-girlfriend and her father Blackbeard into the mix and you see Jack racking his rum soaked mind to get out of this mess. I like it because it's different. Adds more to the story as a whole. No Pirates without Captain Jack Sparrow.

@@ItsAlannaBanana the first 3 are my favorite because the humor isn't too crass, the writing is more cohesive, with all 3 being interconnected and gradually exploring the world building without breaking previously established rules like the last 2 do.

He's always been funny to watch, with eccentricities and seemingly bizarre decision making, but he has never been a clown. There was always a highly intelligent mind ticking under his skull, which isn't so obvious in the latter 2 movies. And the first 3 movies just feel like one cohesive epic story. The last 2 feel like unnecessary tack-ons that lack the ship fights, the focus on the sea, they feel more vague in their location building and they hardly feel like part of that initially established world. Also the last one was a copy of the third one to a T. The cursed immortal crew that's after Jack's life, the having to look for an object to stop a curse, the two young lovers that are supposed to mimic Will and Elizabeth's role in the story, one of them searching for their father's origins and identity...

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, however the flamethrower from an old sail ship like that is actually entirely possible and actually did happen. The only problem is (as with a huge amount of things through out history) we have forgotten how to do it.

My dad told me this was his favorite one simply because he's a huge fan of Captain Jack Sparrow so he loved how in this film the camera was mostly directed at Jack compared to the previous films.
17:24 Some ships had a weapon called Greek fire that could basically be used like a big flamethrower. That was WAY before Blackbeard's time, but it's still a pretty cool historical thing.
this is actually my favorite Pirates movie. it was based on the book On Stranger Tides i think. i just really liked what they did with Barbossa, he always seemed like a single minded bad guy in the other movies but i liked in this one where he and jack were talking and i could really see how they used to be friends, which they must have been given that Barbossa used to be Jack's first mate.
I believe the nuance was lost on so many people that Jack actually went to the Fountain after movie 3 in that small boat, hundreds of miles on the wide ocean, depending on the good weather or Else drown because a small storm could easily flip that boat over. And then afterwards he had to get back from there since he found the Spot, but not the Fountain itself - and travelled all the way from the caribbean to LONDON. That is quite the distance to save a friend. I also like this movie. It has a different feeling than the first three but i welcomed it and Blackbeard is just amazing!
The weird thing is that this movie is supposed to take place 21 years after At World's End, because the sequel following this one is set one year later. So, Jack and Barbossa have been searching for the Fountain of Youth for over two decades?
Ships from the old world did have flamethrowers in a way. The oldest ones I know were from the Byzantine, they used Greek Fire. Very effective, water can't even douse it. The other one I know were dragon ships from Korea. It had a spiked cover to prevent boarding and at the front is a dragon head that releases smoke and fire to help with boarding.
I especially love the transition with you all in the Harry Potter franchise and how you always added more props as the films went on, I find myself watching the first film over again just see how surprised you are by how good it is
I actually grew up about 87 miles from Blackbeard's favorite haunt, Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. He's a legend on the Outer Banks, but unfortunately the real Blackbeard and the one portrayed in this movie are two different ones. The real one preferred to use intimidation (6'5'', 225 pounds) over outright bloodshed, but this movie absolutely got the smoldering fuses in his hat and beard right. Also, Blackbeard's primary ship was actually called Queen Anne's Revenge, crewed by 300 men, and 40-cannon strong.
Great reaction, guys!! Jack as well as the mermaid romance are my favorite parts about this movie. 💙 Also you guys mentioned at the end about reacting to bad movies and that sounds so great! "Monthly Badd Movies with Badd Medicine" or something like that lol. I would definitely watch!
Honestly I was not a fan of this movie until the 5th movie came out. I thought #4 was bad but the 5th proved me wrong and made me appreciate on stranger tides much more
the problem with 4, is that it removes the ships, while the problem with 5 is that jack becomes useless. i understand how they may have wanted to show he had some sort of crisis or smth, but he should've pulled himself together instead of going on pure luck through the entire film. he dropped his sword 2 or 3 times, which doesn't resemble the original jack at all
I disagree with people saying it's the weakest in the franchise, I really liked the mermaid storyline & the fountain of youth storyline & a great twist at the end! & gotta lurve that "I hate that monkey line" 😆 Oh wow! Oak never seen 'Dusk til Dawn?" Ya gotta get him to watch it on here, great movie! Also his idea of watching a 'Bad' movie a month is a good idea, love to see that!.
I consider this the worst of the series but the next one does kinda hurt to see. Geoffrey Rush basically carries the 5th movie as you can pretty much see what Amber Heard was putting Johnny through in the 5th movie. A little bit of that classic Jack is still there but largely it just feels like the man behind the character has lost his edge because of the things going on around him.
Definitely not bad, but they totally lost what made Jack such a great character. He was a tactical genius driven slightly mad from living out in the sun drinking rum for days. He wasn't some goofy over the top idiot. The quality of writing for his character in the first movie is noticeably different compared to these follow ups.
Are you kidding? This movie exemplified his genius! He planned all of this from the moment he was in London and heard someone using his name that had a crew and a ship. He accomplished everything he wanted to. He found the fountain, which he didn’t want to use as soon as he found out it required a sacrifice since he doesn’t like killing people, he protected the woman he loves, he freed Gibbs, and he got back The Pearl!
Mann fuckkkk Disney but Johnng depps Jack sparrow i could watch him all dayy. I wish hed be back for a new one. They need to as you say do a redemption
Outside of the original, which was a classic, I think this was my favorite in the series. I loved the addition of more classic mermaids and faith-based themes in a movie is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. It's by no means a perfect movie though, but I think I'd still give it a solid 4/5.
I learned it from the history class that the flamethrower was a real thing in ancient times. The most known one was used by the Eastern Roman Empire and they called it the Greek Fire. But then it was lost in time, mainly because it was really hard to build this kind of weapon on the ship and it was highly dependent on the wind direction.
It's so fun to watch your reactions to these movies and I can't wait for number 5! A movie series suggestion for you after this one: The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a series geared to be kid friendly however, like Harry Potter, it ages with its actors and characters and I think you'll really enjoy the three movies :)
This is actually my second favourite movie of the entire series (the best one for me is the 3rd one). I just really liked the story of this one, the little love story between Jack and Angelique and I loved the mermaids honestly, they were very nicely done and build, a new darker take, the sea weed wip was really cool, the ship Blackbeard was controlling with the sword, etc. There were a lot of small detalies that I enjoyed in the movie. Same with the 5th one. I think the first 3 are more of a single story in which you need to pay attention to the bigger picture and the next two are different stories from Jack's life as a pirate and you can get lost in the detalies in them and that is what makes them more fun to watch I guess.
I think this one might actually be my favorite of the series (though I don't think I ever sat down and watched the last one). I find Sam Claflin so likable - even before the Hunger Games ever happened, I liked him in this - and I was just amazed and delighted to see a Hollywood movie create a missionary character and treat him with respect and admiration instead of making him a hypocrite. That meant a lot to me, even if it was in the context of a kooky fantasy setting. And I'm a sucker for mermaid stories. The compassionate missionary and the scary but ultimately loving mermaid was a really cool and fresh idea.
The ship's flamethrower could be "Greek fire" or "sea fire", a substance used by the Eastern Roman Empire in naval warfare to set enemy ships on fire that couldn't be put out. It's not exactly sure what it was made of. The formula was a carefully guarded Byzantine military secret and experts have not been able to successfully replicate it.
Asking how the boat had flamethrowers right after seeing a man magically control the entire ship is funny. Like that’s the biggest question to ask here?😂😂
I watched this film back in cinemas and I love it, i love the concept of mermaids introduced and another way immortality, and lastly that missionary who fell in love with mermaids,,
36:48 this guy (Theodore Groves) is the same guy that says "that's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen" etc. And the guy that falls on to Barbosa is Gillette, they were both part of the franchise since the first movie.
44:26 I see your point. The ship battles are always awesome, but it’s not really the only thing that makes this franchise great. It’s mainly the characters and the journeys they go on and who they turn into is what really makes Pirates of the Caribbean special. I too enjoy On Stranger Tides a lot and I’m glad you three did as well.
The Queen Ann's Revenge having flamethrowers is definitely possible as ship's in the late 600's used to have them as well. The Byzantine Empire would outfit their ships with nozzles that sprayed something called Greek Fire
As a tale in Greek Mythology. The Odyssey, Oddyseus and his crew sail past the island where the sirens lived. He has his crew plug their ears with beeswax so they aren't enthralled by their song, but has his men tie him to the mast so he can hear it. They refuse his inevitable orders to release him until they are out of earshot of the sirens.
I actually really like this movie. I mean I also like the 5th one but if you imagine On Stranger Tides as a side story then it becomes much better. It doesn't have as high stakes as the first three but I view them kind of like the Spider verse. They're technically three movies but just one story.
This is joint #2 with At World's End for me, I absolutely loved it. Yea it's got no Elizabeth and Will, so what? New characters, new storyline and it was still really good. I mean it was a classic Pirate story what with Blackbeard and mermaids. I LOVED the mermaid vibe and obviously Captain Jack Sparrow, that sold it. Out of 10 I'll give a solid 9.7
While the first POTC is an obvious standout, 2 3 and 4 blend together for me. I had to wait a bit into your reaction to realise which one On Stanger Tides was 😂
I remember i tried to watch this one a couple times. Fell asleep first time & ended up skipping through it the second time. I was pleasantly surprised with the next one though. It seems to be a hit or miss for most people but I personally found it much more enjoyable than this one.
Hold up, Blackbeard Teach was an ACTUAL pirate back in the day? Wow I learned something new today. I only know the Blackbeard name from One Piece, I never thought to think that the character was inspired from a real Pirate. And now the character is in this movie. I never watched the last two movies of Pirates of Caribbean, so this is definitely a small shock and awe for me
Yeah man Blackbeard is the most iconic pirate ever. In One Piece Blackbeard's real name is Marshall D. Teach, while the real historic Blackbeard's name was Edward Teach or Edward Thatch. So you can see that Oda used Blackbeard's name as inspiration for both Whitebeard and 4th Division Commander Thatch. There are many characters in One Piece that share names with historical pirates, a lot from the Worst Generation as well like Kid (William "Captain" Kidd), Bonney (Anne Bonny) and X Drake (Sir Francis Drake). Also Bartholomew Kuma (Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts). Also there was a pirate named Olivier Levasseur, who challenged the world to find his treasure, which still hasn't been found. Also there was the pirate John Every who was actually called 'King of Pirates'. Cool to see a fellow One Piece fan!
I think is the best Pirate’s movie for some reasons: 1. Is the only one about a treasure hunt, and not about breaking a curse. 2. Is the only one in which mortal men want to be inmortal, instead of of inmortal men wanting to be mortal (more realistic). 3. It has the most iconic and historical Pirate “Black Beard”. 4. It has mermaids, one the most iconic and dangerous sea creatures in Pirate’s mythology. BTW, The missionary called the mermaid “Serena”, because it sounds like “Sirena”, Spanish for mermaid. It was also nice to take a break from the fun, but still repetitive stuff, like the same Love triangles, curses, Jack being hunted, and CGI pirates. And even if I think it’s the most Pirate like movie, I do agree is the less fun of all 5. My favourite will always be the first one. Love re watching my favourite movies through your eyes and reactions, great videos.
"Finnick's just the stand up guy in every role" Funny, I have the exact opposite association from Peaky Blinders. I'm so surprised when he's a nice guy
I haven't watched this movie recently enough to judge it, but I do remember that intro scene! And it's a pretty good one. Also the mermaids scared me as a child. Could never get used to Barbossa in English Uniform The pearl in the bottle is such a cool concept. Plus, it's always tough to see movies as they are, when the public's opinion is on your mind. When a movie is seen as 'bad' I find myself searching for the negatives instead of the positives.
FUN FACTS! Byzantine ships had flamethrowers well before the age of sail when these movies take place. The Indiana Jones franchise canonically takes place in the same universe as Pirates of the Caribbean... at least in the Disney parks where they are connected by the Society of Explorers and Adventurers.
Sirens are actually man eaters, who lure in sailors to their deaths in the lore. The mermaids that children know are more so disney making them a good character instead of bad :)
Thank you. I was looking for this comment. Some earlier said that the movie gave a new darker twist to mermaids and I'm just like 💁♂️ Mermen are some rank lookin mfs too.
I really love so much this Pirates Of The Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides movie! I love very much the story and the characters in it. They are all great and good job to the actors and actresses who played their respectives parts! As I love so much mermaids/mermen since I'm a young child, I'm very happy to see mermaids in this Pirates Of The Caribbean movie! I love so much the design of the mermaids in their beauty mermaids form and in with their monstrous mermaids form, the CGI on the mermaids tails are stunning, stunning tails even if I would prefer to see realistic silicone mermaid tails on the actresses, specifically on the mermaid Syrena because we saw her more than the others mermaids, I love so much this Syrena character!
We have seen undead people, literal fishmen, a goddess, and brought a dead man back from underworld but Oak is still wondering how they have flamethrower on a ship. Its called fantasy for a reason mate, just go with it😂
I actually really enjoy this and part 5. I’m one of the few people who hated the third one for being overlong and way too convoluted, so I like how these next two go back to basics and just tell mostly stand alone adventure pirate stories, with familiar characters. Plus there were scenes in this that reminded me a lot of a super fun 90s pirate movie that I love, Cutthroat Island.
I liked the movie its a worthy successor the theme is good. If one doesn't pay attention to details then the movie can get boring you get rewarded for paying attention.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by this one. I like the more upbeat tone that feels more like the very first movie and the inclusions of Blackbeard, Mermaids & the Fountain of Youth. The actors added a lot with their performances. Some of it feels a bit underdeveloped, like with awkward dialogue or scenes that felt a little too simple or insignificant. (Did he just give her a name? Lol). I think with a bit more elbow grease (like a few more drafts to the script & that much needed ship battle!) this could've been a stellar entry to the series. But as a die hard fan, I'm just thrilled that I don't hate it. 😄
For your "bad moive reaction day" idea I remember back in the day one moive I actually enjoyed that got soooo much hate is, Water World staring Kevin Costner, course I haven't seen in in a long time so it may actually be a crapptastic movie IDK. Maybe one of your patrons will put it up if yans decide to do "We went off the rails reaction day." lol. Sorry I just have more bills then I have money so I can only be entertained by what gets posted to RUclips and you guys have indeed throughly kept me entertained ✌😊👍
As a kid I loved this series cuz I had the FATTEST crush on Orlando Bloom - I remember watching this movie and being so confused, sitting there like "Where's WILL????" Lol, but I actually really liked the adventure in this one - I know that's an unpopular take but I really did enjoy it haha
Well yes, original mythological mermaids are man killers who drown boats and kill anyone they see. It’s quiet sad that modern view of mermaids is sweet creatures like Ariel
Gibbs: Ok the plan is to scare the crew into mutiny, and force the captain to retreat. Barbossa: Says a few words, and repeat three times, aren't we all king's men!? The crew: YES!!! Gibbs: Fuck it... I have to think of something else now.
The problem with this movie is that they made it Jack Sparrow as the main character. He’s not main character material, he’s the comedy sidekick character. The only time making the sidekick as the main actually worked was in Big Trouble In Little China.
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but during the filming of this PotC movie, Penelope Cruz (if I remember correctly) was pregnant at the time, which is also why she is filmed mostly from the chest up during most scenes with her in it. Fun fact? I thought it was cool. :)
"Did he just name her?" The Oak can umpire any games for me now. Keep calling those balls and strikes. [edit] Barbossa and Gibbs reveal the showrunners weren't completely ready to sever all ties to move forward. Enough effort was put in to pay off.
I think they should've developed Orlando Bloom's character in the 4th instalment.. Now that he's the captain of the Flying Dutchman, in what aspects does he turn out to be different than his predecessor Davy Jones.. Would have been interesting to watch
Oak, with the disbelief of flame throwers. Evidently, HP magic has let you accept magical ropes and ship without concern.🤣 Actually, a reasonable question as to the tech logic in the film. Great watch. Cruz is good and the Blackbeard arc is cool but Keira is missed.
Not too badd of a film. Still a fun movie. The presences of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom were definitely missed. What was your reaction to Stranger Tides? What is you rating for this film?

The real one preferred to use intimidation (6'5'', 225 pounds) over outright bloodshed, but this movie absolutely got the smoldering fuses in his hat and beard right. Also, Blackbeard's primary ship was actually called Queen Anne's Revenge, crewed by 300 men, and 40-cannon strong.
Great reaction, guys!! Jack as well as the mermaid romance are my favorite parts about this movie. 💙
Also you guys mentioned at the end about reacting to bad movies and that sounds so great! "Monthly Badd Movies with Badd Medicine" or something like that lol. I would definitely watch!
I like the name you threw out there. Might use that. 😀
@@BaddMedicine I’m here for bad movies as well 🤌🏻🤌🏻
They should react to "Birdemic" and "The Room" lol
@@BaddMedicine Angelica said in Spanish Sparrow come here or I rip your head off
Someone make a note of this mans bravery
Honestly I was not a fan of this movie until the 5th movie came out. I thought #4 was bad but the 5th proved me wrong and made me appreciate on stranger tides much more
Same
There's always a bigger disappointment.
Kinda makes feeling disappointed about something ao trivial feel like a fools errand.
The 5th is my #1 favourite.
When I rewatched them I realized that between the two the 5th one is probably better. 4 was just meh. Blackbeard is cool but that's about it
the problem with 4, is that it removes the ships, while the problem with 5 is that jack becomes useless. i understand how they may have wanted to show he had some sort of crisis or smth, but he should've pulled himself together instead of going on pure luck through the entire film. he dropped his sword 2 or 3 times, which doesn't resemble the original jack at all
39:33 to answer Oak's question, according to old mermaid myths, the kiss of a mermaid gives the person the ability to breathe underwater
I disagree with people saying it's the weakest in the franchise, I really liked the mermaid storyline & the fountain of youth storyline & a great twist at the end! & gotta lurve that "I hate that monkey line" 😆
Oh wow! Oak never seen 'Dusk til Dawn?" Ya gotta get him to watch it on here, great movie! Also his idea of watching a 'Bad' movie a month is a good idea, love to see that!.
Blackbeard was arguably the most feared pirate in history. The richest is Black Sam Bellamy.
I consider this the worst of the series but the next one does kinda hurt to see. Geoffrey Rush basically carries the 5th movie as you can pretty much see what Amber Heard was putting Johnny through in the 5th movie. A little bit of that classic Jack is still there but largely it just feels like the man behind the character has lost his edge because of the things going on around him.
Definitely not bad, but they totally lost what made Jack such a great character. He was a tactical genius driven slightly mad from living out in the sun drinking rum for days. He wasn't some goofy over the top idiot.
The quality of writing for his character in the first movie is noticeably different compared to these follow ups.
He was still himself in this movie. They totally fucked him up in 5th movie tho
@@ciemny9410 Doesn't help when the situation with his then partner was happening
Are you kidding? This movie exemplified his genius! He planned all of this from the moment he was in London and heard someone using his name that had a crew and a ship. He accomplished everything he wanted to. He found the fountain, which he didn’t want to use as soon as he found out it required a sacrifice since he doesn’t like killing people, he protected the woman he loves, he freed Gibbs, and he got back The Pearl!
@@Curlyteacher537 "Do you think he plans it all out or just makes it up as he goes?"
Mann fuckkkk Disney but Johnng depps Jack sparrow i could watch him all dayy. I wish hed be back for a new one. They need to as you say do a redemption
Outside of the original, which was a classic, I think this was my favorite in the series. I loved the addition of more classic mermaids and faith-based themes in a movie is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. It's by no means a perfect movie though, but I think I'd still give it a solid 4/5.
I learned it from the history class that the flamethrower was a real thing in ancient times. The most known one was used by the Eastern Roman Empire and they called it the Greek Fire. But then it was lost in time, mainly because it was really hard to build this kind of weapon on the ship and it was highly dependent on the wind direction.
Cool
Whenever i see Jack climbing that palm tree scene, i can't not think of Beverly Hills Ninja! 🤣😆
This is by far my favourite dipiction of mermaids
I still like this movie. Definitely better than the next one
It's so fun to watch your reactions to these movies and I can't wait for number 5! A movie series suggestion for you after this one: The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a series geared to be kid friendly however, like Harry Potter, it ages with its actors and characters and I think you'll really enjoy the three movies :)
Narnia is one of my favourite series and I've wanted them to watch them, too.
This is actually my second favourite movie of the entire series (the best one for me is the 3rd one). I just really liked the story of this one, the little love story between Jack and Angelique and I loved the mermaids honestly, they were very nicely done and build, a new darker take, the sea weed wip was really cool, the ship Blackbeard was controlling with the sword, etc. There were a lot of small detalies that I enjoyed in the movie. Same with the 5th one. I think the first 3 are more of a single story in which you need to pay attention to the bigger picture and the next two are different stories from Jack's life as a pirate and you can get lost in the detalies in them and that is what makes them more fun to watch I guess.
I think this one might actually be my favorite of the series (though I don't think I ever sat down and watched the last one). I find Sam Claflin so likable - even before the Hunger Games ever happened, I liked him in this - and I was just amazed and delighted to see a Hollywood movie create a missionary character and treat him with respect and admiration instead of making him a hypocrite. That meant a lot to me, even if it was in the context of a kooky fantasy setting. And I'm a sucker for mermaid stories. The compassionate missionary and the scary but ultimately loving mermaid was a really cool and fresh idea.
I've seen this so many times and every time i see that guy driving the carriage with Jack and Gibbs in the back is secret cameo from Robert Deniro.
Johnny carrying the whole movie part 4
I'm here early, looking forward to this reaction guys. Love this channel and love all of you your all really funny to watch
Thank you, Kirsty! Hope you enjoy🤙
The ship's flamethrower could be "Greek fire" or "sea fire", a substance used by the Eastern Roman Empire in naval warfare to set enemy ships on fire that couldn't be put out. It's not exactly sure what it was made of. The formula was a carefully guarded Byzantine military secret and experts have not been able to successfully replicate it.
Asking how the boat had flamethrowers right after seeing a man magically control the entire ship is funny. Like that’s the biggest question to ask here?😂😂
I watched this film back in cinemas and I love it, i love the concept of mermaids introduced and another way immortality, and lastly that missionary who fell in love with mermaids,,
36:48 this guy (Theodore Groves) is the same guy that says "that's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen" etc. And the guy that falls on to Barbosa is Gillette, they were both part of the franchise since the first movie.
44:26 I see your point. The ship battles are always awesome, but it’s not really the only thing that makes this franchise great. It’s mainly the characters and the journeys they go on and who they turn into is what really makes Pirates of the Caribbean special. I too enjoy On Stranger Tides a lot and I’m glad you three did as well.
The Queen Ann's Revenge having flamethrowers is definitely possible as ship's in the late 600's used to have them as well. The Byzantine Empire would outfit their ships with nozzles that sprayed something called Greek Fire
As a tale in Greek Mythology. The Odyssey, Oddyseus and his crew sail past the island where the sirens lived. He has his crew plug their ears with beeswax so they aren't enthralled by their song, but has his men tie him to the mast so he can hear it. They refuse his inevitable orders to release him until they are out of earshot of the sirens.
I actually really like this movie. I mean I also like the 5th one but if you imagine On Stranger Tides as a side story then it becomes much better. It doesn't have as high stakes as the first three but I view them kind of like the Spider verse. They're technically three movies but just one story.
This is joint #2 with At World's End for me, I absolutely loved it. Yea it's got no Elizabeth and Will, so what? New characters, new storyline and it was still really good. I mean it was a classic Pirate story what with Blackbeard and mermaids. I LOVED the mermaid vibe and obviously Captain Jack Sparrow, that sold it. Out of 10 I'll give a solid 9.7
Watched this movie with my dad when I was a kid and I did enjoy it at the time. Just wished I saw my boy Will Turner lol
While the first POTC is an obvious standout, 2 3 and 4 blend together for me. I had to wait a bit into your reaction to realise which one On Stanger Tides was 😂
I like this one more than the previous ones.
I remember i tried to watch this one a couple times. Fell asleep first time & ended up skipping through it the second time. I was pleasantly surprised with the next one though. It seems to be a hit or miss for most people but I personally found it much more enjoyable than this one.
Hold up, Blackbeard Teach was an ACTUAL pirate back in the day? Wow I learned something new today. I only know the Blackbeard name from One Piece, I never thought to think that the character was inspired from a real Pirate. And now the character is in this movie.
I never watched the last two movies of Pirates of Caribbean, so this is definitely a small shock and awe for me
Yeah man Blackbeard is the most iconic pirate ever. In One Piece Blackbeard's real name is Marshall D. Teach, while the real historic Blackbeard's name was Edward Teach or Edward Thatch. So you can see that Oda used Blackbeard's name as inspiration for both Whitebeard and 4th Division Commander Thatch.
There are many characters in One Piece that share names with historical pirates, a lot from the Worst Generation as well like Kid (William "Captain" Kidd), Bonney (Anne Bonny) and X Drake (Sir Francis Drake). Also Bartholomew Kuma (Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts).
Also there was a pirate named Olivier Levasseur, who challenged the world to find his treasure, which still hasn't been found. Also there was the pirate John Every who was actually called 'King of Pirates'.
Cool to see a fellow One Piece fan!
@@beepboop4833 wicked!
I think is the best Pirate’s movie for some reasons:
1. Is the only one about a treasure hunt, and not about breaking a curse.
2. Is the only one in which mortal men want to be inmortal, instead of of inmortal men wanting to be mortal (more realistic).
3. It has the most iconic and historical Pirate “Black Beard”.
4. It has mermaids, one the most iconic and dangerous sea creatures in Pirate’s mythology. BTW, The missionary called the mermaid “Serena”, because it sounds like “Sirena”, Spanish for mermaid.
It was also nice to take a break from the fun, but still repetitive stuff, like the same Love triangles, curses, Jack being hunted, and CGI pirates.
And even if I think it’s the most Pirate like movie, I do agree is the less fun of all 5. My favourite will always be the first one.
Love re watching my favourite movies through your eyes and reactions, great videos.
"Finnick's just the stand up guy in every role" Funny, I have the exact opposite association from Peaky Blinders. I'm so surprised when he's a nice guy
BADD MEDICINE IS BACK
❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best actually
this was my favorite of the potc movies.johnny depp is an amazing actor
I just realized we had no ship battle. I would have loved to see this legendary ship in action
You should definitely react to "Birdemic" and "The Room"! They're so bad they're infamous for it lol.
I haven't watched this movie recently enough to judge it, but I do remember that intro scene! And it's a pretty good one. Also the mermaids scared me as a child.
Could never get used to Barbossa in English Uniform
The pearl in the bottle is such a cool concept.
Plus, it's always tough to see movies as they are, when the public's opinion is on your mind. When a movie is seen as 'bad' I find myself searching for the negatives instead of the positives.
FUN FACTS!
Byzantine ships had flamethrowers well before the age of sail when these movies take place.
The Indiana Jones franchise canonically takes place in the same universe as Pirates of the Caribbean... at least in the Disney parks where they are connected by the Society of Explorers and Adventurers.
Sirens are actually man eaters, who lure in sailors to their deaths in the lore. The mermaids that children know are more so disney making them a good character instead of bad :)
Thank you. I was looking for this comment. Some earlier said that the movie gave a new darker twist to mermaids and I'm just like 💁♂️
Mermen are some rank lookin mfs too.
Never thought this would be Lovejoy's retirement plan.
The boat has flame throwers the same reason a man can control a ship and zombies are part of the crew lol
Nice, looking forward to the next one. 👌
I really love so much this Pirates Of The Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides movie! I love very much the story and the characters in it. They are all great and good job to the actors and actresses who played their respectives parts!
As I love so much mermaids/mermen since I'm a young child, I'm very happy to see mermaids in this Pirates Of The Caribbean movie!
I love so much the design of the mermaids in their beauty mermaids form and in with their monstrous mermaids form, the CGI on the mermaids tails are stunning, stunning tails even if I would prefer to see realistic silicone mermaid tails on the actresses, specifically on the mermaid Syrena because we saw her more than the others mermaids, I love so much this Syrena character!
Palm trees are super bendy. That's why they remain after hurricanes. A little bit of plant evolution goes a long way.
Jack's dad looks like a veteran pirate, He's like the king of pirates, or like a top council in the pirate's world.
Love your guys studio art with the movie poster on the TV screen. You guys should decorate it for Halloween!! :)
Letsgooo, so excited for this. Great content!
Letsss gooooo
I saw this when it came out & thought it was OK..not as good as the original 3 but over the years I have grown to love it.
I'm always looking forward to oak reaction. Your my favorite bro
I’m hyped to see your Maze Runner reactions!!! :)
Your guys reactions are too cool. 😎
We have seen undead people, literal fishmen, a goddess, and brought a dead man back from underworld but Oak is still wondering how they have flamethrower on a ship. Its called fantasy for a reason mate, just go with it😂
Was The Oak doing a Goose impression from Top Gun with the inverted thing at 33:36? 😂😂 I hate that nobody appreciated that lol
Great catch!
Love love the reactions guys ❤ I prefer the last one than this one thou 😂🎉
I actually really enjoy this and part 5. I’m one of the few people who hated the third one for being overlong and way too convoluted, so I like how these next two go back to basics and just tell mostly stand alone adventure pirate stories, with familiar characters. Plus there were scenes in this that reminded me a lot of a super fun 90s pirate movie that I love, Cutthroat Island.
I was waiting for your reaction 👍
I liked the movie its a worthy successor the theme is good. If one doesn't pay attention to details then the movie can get boring you get rewarded for paying attention.
You guys NEED to watch “Yellowbeard”. A mix of the greatest comedic actors of the 70s!
Yall have no idea how happy I was to see this was uploaded!
If your enjoying the Pirate theme. Definitely consider checking out 'Black Sails' it's an adult pirate tv show compared to the kid movies of Pirates.
Black Sails is amazing.
This is clearly one of the better Pirates movies!
My thing with this movie is they say Blackbeard is the most fearsome pirate.... as if we didn't already have Davy Jones to take that list!!!
Except I don’t think Davy was real
I was actually pleasantly surprised by this one. I like the more upbeat tone that feels more like the very first movie and the inclusions of Blackbeard, Mermaids & the Fountain of Youth. The actors added a lot with their performances. Some of it feels a bit underdeveloped, like with awkward dialogue or scenes that felt a little too simple or insignificant. (Did he just give her a name? Lol). I think with a bit more elbow grease (like a few more drafts to the script & that much needed ship battle!) this could've been a stellar entry to the series.
But as a die hard fan, I'm just thrilled that I don't hate it. 😄
For your "bad moive reaction day" idea I remember back in the day one moive I actually enjoyed that got soooo much hate is, Water World staring Kevin Costner, course I haven't seen in in a long time so it may actually be a crapptastic movie IDK. Maybe one of your patrons will put it up if yans decide to do "We went off the rails reaction day." lol. Sorry I just have more bills then I have money so I can only be entertained by what gets posted to RUclips and you guys have indeed throughly kept me entertained ✌😊👍
As a kid I loved this series cuz I had the FATTEST crush on Orlando Bloom - I remember watching this movie and being so confused, sitting there like "Where's WILL????" Lol, but I actually really liked the adventure in this one - I know that's an unpopular take but I really did enjoy it haha
Well yes, original mythological mermaids are man killers who drown boats and kill anyone they see. It’s quiet sad that modern view of mermaids is sweet creatures like Ariel
Gibbs: Ok the plan is to scare the crew into mutiny, and force the captain to retreat.
Barbossa: Says a few words, and repeat three times, aren't we all king's men!?
The crew: YES!!!
Gibbs: Fuck it... I have to think of something else now.
The problem with this movie is that they made it Jack Sparrow as the main character. He’s not main character material, he’s the comedy sidekick character. The only time making the sidekick as the main actually worked was in Big Trouble In Little China.
One of the 2 British soldiers was in this movie, had screen time before Black Beard was revealed
I wud luv for Bad Medicine to do bad movie reviews! Wud be epic 😂
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but during the filming of this PotC movie, Penelope Cruz (if I remember correctly) was pregnant at the time, which is also why she is filmed mostly from the chest up during most scenes with her in it. Fun fact? I thought it was cool. :)
27:00 Must not have seen The Nightingale 😂
"Did he just name her?" The Oak can umpire any games for me now. Keep calling those balls and strikes.
[edit] Barbossa and Gibbs reveal the showrunners weren't completely ready to sever all ties to move forward. Enough effort was put in to pay off.
I think they should've developed Orlando Bloom's character in the 4th instalment.. Now that he's the captain of the Flying Dutchman, in what aspects does he turn out to be different than his predecessor Davy Jones.. Would have been interesting to watch
Oak, with the disbelief of flame throwers.
Evidently, HP magic has let you accept magical ropes and ship without concern.🤣
Actually, a reasonable question as to the tech logic in the film.
Great watch.
Cruz is good and the Blackbeard arc is cool but Keira is missed.
I really liked this movie. Can't even remember what happens in the next one. 🤷🏼♀️
This one is actually my favorite.
In my opinion this is the best one
If yall want to watch a bad movie yall gottta watch THE ROOM
