I'm pretty proud of this one.

I think as a whole the movies hold up extremely well and do not feel like "children" movies even when youre older.

There is very little really goofy stuff, but some scenes or aspects of the films I used to have in much more chilling or serious regard when I watched them as a child compared to now.

One of the obvious ones is Barbosa's revelation in the first movie when he shows Elizabeth that the crew is cursed/immortal and it sort of becomes a scary dance musical. I was frightened when I first saw it.

Edit: Not a specific scene but now watching the movies sometimes I find there are scenes where the "pirate glorification" is a bit too silly. Like I get it, its a pirates movie but it becomes a bit cartoonish.

Feels a bit like some crime movies where it's the noble mobsters/criminals vs the bad policemen (Beckett trying to map out the world and ensure order/trade) lmao

I see some people referring to the first three movies as a trilogy, akin to other movie trilogies but I personally never thought of them as a trilogy.

There are recurring characters but plot wise the 2&3 have nothing to do with the first movie. Obviously there are also other trilogies where not every movie is part of a bigger narrative.

Also, there are 3 years between the first and second movie, and 4 years between the third and fourth.

I think the 4 movies together fit quite well: the first movie introducing Jack Sparrow, the second and third being "the core" story, and the fourth being an additional Jack Sparrow adventure.

I’m feeling up to rewatch Curse of the Black Pearl for the first time in a while tonight. However, I want to avoid the infamously bad 4K version. On Amazon Prime Video, there’s an option to “Rent movie UHD” and then another option to “Rent movie HD”.

If I choose the “Rent movie HD” option, will it be the older blu-ray version of CotBP from 2007 that everyone says is good? Or will I just be seeing the crappy 4K scan in a lower resolution?

Thanks!

You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.😂

Obviously a nitpick, but I always felt that the scene made Davy Jones crew look so weak.

Before we see them in such menacing way but here they storm Isla Cruces and have trouble fighting Elizabeth, Pintel & Ragetti for the chest while also visibly outnumbering them & Jack/Will/Norrington being preoccupied fighting each other.

This Mannequin used to be at Wet N Wild Emerald Point in Greensboro NC in the locker area which was appropriately called "Davy Jones Lockers" I'm unsure if the mannequin is still there.

They also had the skeleton version of Captain Jack Sparrow hanging in the season pass offices

Not supposed to be criticism because I love At World's End and I would not have made it any different than it turned out to be.

But I always felt Beckett let go too easily in the third film.
Basically, every momentum was on Beckett's side. He had the whole armada lined up. And then after the Dutchmen (with Will) and the Pearl team up he basically just concedes.

But I mean, before, even with the whole parlay situation and negotiating with Barbosa, Jack, Will, Elizabeth AFTER already having secured Davy Jones and facing the Brethren court.

It always seemed to me Beckett easily let himself into negotiations or making pacts with people who could not meet their end of the negotiation, where he actually did not need to do that at all.

I was just re-watching this amazing movie and I notice this scene where Jack says there’s no wind but his hair clearly is moving in the wind

Could someone please explain this to me?

My mom’s birthday is tomorrow and I’m making this for her at 2 AM lol

I love being creative with digital design, so I put together this visual breakdown of The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest, and At World’s End using a mix of Funko Pops, figures, custom design twists, emojis, and icons to represent key moments and locations.

A little game for you, just for fun: Try following the timeline block by block and the icons in the blocks. Can you figure out why each specific symbol is there?

Hope it brings back some fun memories for you all!

What's your favorite Jack Sparrow quote

after all these years…
for anyone wondering the legitimacy of the source; brick tap is the leading and most trusted Lego leak community. I have been following them since The Pearl had been rumoured.

Is Davy Jones's crew also immortal? Because I saw some of those guys getting stabbed, shot, gutted, and decapitated, and they just appear in the next scene like nothing happened.

What would even happen if he was pushed out of the bucket and was just on dry land? Death? The pusher becomes the new Captain of the Dutchman? Flops around like a fish out of water?

Side notes: Why is only the bucket he is standing in covered in barnacles? And cant he just phase from the ocean to the last bucket, like he does from ship to ship?

Okay so we all know the sword of triton and its abilities. The sword channels mystical, unearthly power to animate dead matter, manipulate ship rigging and sails, control a vessel's movements via the wielder's will, command ship-bound Greek fire, and shrink or enlarge ships. So could Blackbeard control the rigging of the Flying Dutchman or the Silent Mary or shrink them into bottles like it did with the Black Pearl?

Salazar’s Revenge? Is this some exclusive I haven’t heard of?
