Do you agree with my thoughts? What did YOU think needed to be changed? Let me know!

To be fair, Johnny Depp was going through a rough time during filming, which explains why Jack feels off in this, but the script and how it fails to balance Jack is really what's to blame.

Jack to Will in the first movie "Not all treasure is silver and gold mate" Carina to barbossa "who am i to you?" Barbossa "Treasure" The one redeeming part of the film❤

barbosa found jack cause that other witch gave him the compass.

def not the best one but the moment of "who am i to you?" not anger, not sadness, not disappointment just hope. and for a pirate to soften their gaze and describe someone a "treasure" is highly poetic. maybe the rest of the writting was lacking a lot of things. but that moment right there was precious and always makes me tear up.

The movie was not made by the original team. Different writer, different director, different production designer, different composer... And it shows. It's a case where they think they know why the original movies were so popular but they don't.

This is Johnny Depp's last appearance in the POTC franchise, as Disney told him to get lost after his nasty divorce feom his wife Amber Heard. A sixth film is in development as well as a reboot of the franchise. A female led spinoff was announced in 2020 with Margot Robbie in the lead, but it was cancelled.

Another weird thing about this movie is that the flashback where we see Jack's origin story his former captain inherits him the compass, when in the second movie we learned Jack bought it from Tia Dalma (Calypso). So... Which is it???

Barbossa found jack with the Compass! There are some plot holes but this isn't one :)

By the way, Paul McCartney plays Jack Sparrow's Uncle in this movie.

"But it could've been great..." is a fair assessment of the movie, IMHO. I enjoyed it for what it was and agree that the ending for the series as a whole is good, but it's the weakest of the series. My understanding is that Disney is looking at a franchise reboot, so any further movies will probably be their own thing. Regarding a couple of the plot holes you discussed: • (20:53) My understanding was that Barbossa used the compass to track Jack. We did see him getting it from the witch before, after all. • (26:36) I think the idea was that Barbossa never thought about finding the Trident for himself until Salazar returned. So, when he'd found the journal 20-some years ago, he just thought it was a used notebook that he could leave his then-infant daughter for the ruby. A couple of plot holes and discrepancies that bothered me with the movie: • The "Flying Dutchman" is back in its cursed, fishy form and sailing our seas, when "At World's End" showed that that only happened when the captain abandoned his duty of ferry souls to the afterlife. I'm not sure what the writers had in mind, but it really makes it look like Will abandoned his duty, too within a couple years of the "At World's End" stinger for no explained reason. • The whole deal of Jack "betraying" the compass by bartering it away was ill-explained, considering that we'd seen the compass change hands a lot before, albeit in some cases of Jack just loaning it. I wish the rules had been better explained. • The backstory with the compass seen here contradicts Tia Dalma commenting that she sold the compass to Jack directly in "Dead Man's Chest." • In one of those "can't unsee it" moments, Davy Jones's claw is depicted as being on his right arm, when, in the other movies, it was his left.

The movie where Keira Knightly probably got paid loads for a 15-second cameo where she didn't have any lines and honestly good for her.

I actually really liked the CGI young Jack. Looked good to me. A bigger issue was the broke the lore of how Jack got the compass, in the second movie you find out Calypso gave Jack the compass...

I deeply hate this movie. It's like the people who made it didn't even watch the originals. They get such basic things wrong, like how they forgot that Tia Dalma/Calypso gave Jack his compass. Jack is out of character for nearly the whole film. He only does one or two deliberately clever things in the entire movie and is a buffoon the rest of the time. The writers also don't understand that being the captain of the Dutchman isn't a curse, it's a responsibility. Davy Jones turned it into a curse for himself when he became overcome with bitterness and apathy and refused to do his duty. Will readily took on the responsibility of ferrying the souls of the dead, so it wouldn't have been a curse for him and he wouldn't have become disfigured. The movie also ruins the perfect bittersweet ending of the original trilogy by replacing it with this facile rectification of Will's fate. I also hate how Jack's entire outfit was given to him by the crew of his first ship. The original costume designers (with input from Johnny himself) crafted Jack's outfit to look like it had been amassed over a lifetime of pirate adventures. And I don't even know where to begin with that nonsensical post credit scene that implies that somehow Davy Jones returned. The only thing I like about this movie is Javier Bardem's performance. In a horrible, ugly, illogical and contrived movie he stands out as a memorable and captivating villain.

Yeah, not the best way to end a franchise. So many plotholes and they did not write Jack correctly at all. But at least Barbossa died how he lived... like a total badass! RIP.

No, it SHOULD have been great. The ingredients were all there, to be amazing. Unlike On Stranger Tides, that I originally didn't like all that much when I saw it in the theater, but grew to appreciate it, even love it after rewatching it a few times, I did not enjoy this movie after rewatching it again after that first watch. Everyone just feels off in this, especially Jack, where in On Stranger Tides he was competent and capable despite the flash and occasional buffoonery, this guy is just a buffoon, which is a great premise to start with. Sparrow losing his mojo is a good idea with what happened in the beginning, and gets it back at the end, but he never gets it back this entire movie. Having said that, I will be watching this reaction, I want to see if you notice it too, Lmao

Cool action and occasional great moments. The writing seemed half-hearted, compared to the rest of the movies. Mostly I was bothered by the re-writing of the story of the compass. We were already told that Jack got the compass from Tia Dalma. That just gave me the feeling that they were out of ideas and/or didn't care at all about the previous movies.

Angelina, I want to say thanks for picking up the franchise and sticking with it. I watch a lot of commentators, and they start something and never give it a chance. Thanks for sharing your experience watching these movies with me.

You missed that Barbossa used the compass to find Sparrow?

Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance.

I've always liked Kaya Scodelario since her days on "Skins", so always glad to see her get opportunities to be in high profile projects like this, I hope she gets more in the future

A funny little thing, the guy who plays Salazar is Poseidon in live action the little mermaid. Which is a bit ironic because he kind of dies in the hunt for the trident in pirates but becomes king of the sea in the little mermaid who owns the trident. I don't know if it's funny but to me it's a little ironic.

Aside from the retcon of the compass, which Jack originally got from Tia, there’s a giant retcon that largely goes missed because the story of how Jack became a pirate is subtly placed in the story and has some unanswered questions. A story that is undone by showing Jack as a young pirate. While it’s hinted at in the film, the novelisation confirms what I’m about to say and it’s a far better story than the retcon. Jack joined the Navy and his first job was on a ship called the Wicked Wench which was transporting slaves. Jack disagreed with it and ended up freeing the slaves as the Navy turned against him which resulted in the ship being sunk. Jack then made the deal with Davy Jones to bring the ship back as The Black Pearl. Some people theorise that Jones made the debt 100 souls because it was 100 slaves Jack freed. Others think the slaves died and Jack’s trade with Jones was the Black Pearl as in those who went down with the ship and who Jack put his own life on the line to save them. Either way it’s actually a brilliant backstory that they kinda ruined.

Another legend of the music acting here, Paul mccartney is that pirate in jail telling skeleton bar jocke

I think another plot hole is the fact that Barbosa gave away the book and ruby when he was cursed for years. Even though collecting all of the Aztec gold broke the curse he could have very well used the trident as an alternative. Especially if it is implied that he spent a lot of time researching it

I like to imagine Salazar shouting "Your name is Jack Sparrow now!" At the pirate ship right before his own ship gets cursed.

21:10 reminder: barbosa had the compass which points you to the thing you want most.

Also, Hans Zimmer was too busy working on Dunkirk to score this movie.

barbosa had the compass... that's how he found jack..

as you said yourself, this movie had potential, but a lot of flaws, but what i love about it, which makes me forgive it, is that it give a good cloasure to al my favorite characters, jack has the pearl, will and elizabeth live haply ever after, barbosa had a daugther, and barbosa daugther and will son get together, this makes me happy.

I think this movie is hugely underrated. Yes it's different, yes it's not as good as the first 3 movies, it didn't have all the original characters, but I really don't think it's a bad movie. The movie had funny moments, the story was interesting despite some problems but I enjoyed it.

The compass thing is a bit of an inconsistency too. In one of the the previous movies Tia Dalma said Jack got the compass from her, but here he got it from his captain. I agree Karina being Barbosa's daughter should have been introduced earlier in the movie and built up more. Still like this movie more than the 4th one though, just because we're actually spending time on ships this time. And the Will and Elizabeth cameos. xD Also 16:38 I was thinking the same thing. lmao

Geoffrey Rush's performance here is the MVP, he carries this movie on his back to be at least watchable; even Johnny Depp isn't as good as he was in the previous entries. Shame about that script.

31:21-31:28 I get sad 😞 when, Barbossa is dead. 33:11-33:20 anyway, I am just happy 😃 to see Elizabeth reunite with Will Turner.

My favorite part is the end 😍 The first time I watched it I fell asleep at the cinema during the middle part 😅

21:03 the compass 👍

The main issue, is the severe undermining of the first three movies, as well as retconning a bunch of stuff. Plus it was a rather lazy sequel all things considered.

In case you were curious, Jack Sparrow’s Uncle Jack was played by Sir Paul McCartney; and the song that he sings, “Maggie May”, was a song he recorded with The Beatles on the Let It Be album.

Love the lotr quotes Ang drops now that she's seen them 😂

Thats Crazyy.. Faramir joined the English Navy to prove his worth and even Angelina didnt recognize him 😢😂😂😂

If you rewatch the part Jack gives up the compass, there's a shot that shows the compass and a rat. During the witch scene, there are rats around.

Still like this more than on stranger tides

Maze Runner chick is mainly famous from the hugely popular show Skins.

I love her reactions

This is still one of my favourites in the series. :)

this movie had alot of writing issues, including not paying attention to details, the compass was sold to Jack by Tia Dalma, that was established in the second movie by Dalma herself, so it couldn't be Jack making stuff up and this being actually the true story. they could have connected the bad guy and the compass in another way, and saved a pretty penny on the de-aging scenes aswell.

8:30 the whole town speaks of you that's how Carina knew about and found Henry

I’m a big fan of this Franchise, although this movie also made me a fan of Kaya Scodelario she was absolutely Stunning

weird retcon considering calipso says she gave the compass to jack, also how is barbosas kid only in her 20s when hes been active as a pirate for at least 30 years (probably way more)

I think I fell asleep 3 times watching this, and have almost no memory of what was actually going on. I only remember a couple of moments.

This was a nice wrap up. Not perfect, but it resolved a few issues.

for some reason I liked this one more than the 4th movie.

As someone who read the Rob Kidd’s “Jack Sparrow books” as a kid, how they used the Trident of Poseidon on this film rubbed me the wrong way. Sure, they can say it holds all the curses of the Seas, but to NOT use that kind of Chekhov’s gun during the movie (like the mystical powers we have seen in other movies). The Trident is the weapon of a god and it looks like a common coral reef. Maybe that is the look that they were going for and I just didn’t like it. The characters were okay on paper, Will’s kid looking for how to free his father and Barbosa’s ‘unsuspecting’ daughter who is looking for a treasure dear to him AND her. Barbosa coming back was great, but I agree his last moments were undermined by how much he didn’t bond with her.

You are completely wrong on this one point. You said that Barbosa didn't care about his daughter which was why he gave her away. Barbosa did in fact care about his daughter. That's why he left her with another family along with the journal and the ruby in the hopes that it would help pay for a better life for her. Barbosa is a pirate so in his and anyone else's eyes who's not a pirate would view him as a bad person. He didn't want his daughter to grow up around a bad person like him that's why he had to give her away. He didn't want the same wretched life for her.

You should definitely check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing.

Johnny Depp said he'll return to the role if Disney made a public apology to him and admit they messed up. Unfortunately companies aren't fans of admitting fault

This movie was filmed in Australia, with the majority of Salazar's crew being Aussies.

19:22 i thought Tia Dalma aka Calypso gave Jack the compass as she mentioned in the second movie

i didnt realise it either when first watching but the main problem is that will should've dropped dead the moment the curse lifted, he literally doesnt have a heart in his chest

Was surprised to not see an editor's note for the Beatles cameo.

The biggest failure of the franchise is never showing how jack became a pirate in the first place, he refused to move slave for beckett, freed them in return, 100 souls saved, him and his ship was sunk in the process, he made a deal woth davy jones for a little more time woth his ship which jones brought back blackened by the fire and jack reanamed it the pearl, thats how jack became "evil" he was never a bad person he just got betrayed alot.

the Ruby was embedded into the journal.

I just realized Paul being Jack's uncle lol

The first movie that I had ever seen from POTC was actually DMTNT and it didn't attract me at all - I only watched it later simply for Orlando Bloom when I got older. I have a few bones to pick with this movie: - I hate how they turned Jack into this drunkie, who only ever succeds by luck or others doing the work for him. It made him completely lose his charm and maybe there was a little redemption in the last scene, but still it was very unappealing, - they could have done so much more with Henry's character. When the movie begins it feels like he will be standing right next to Jack in plot relevancy and we would get to know him like we did with Will in the first movie, but the only thing they truly develop in this movie is his want to free his father, what could have been written much better. For example - if he was in the navy, why did they make him so dumb to things including sailing and also so clumsy? - maybe the reason for this is how excellet Will and Elizabeth's romance was set up over the inital trilogy, but the relationship between Karina and Henry is so forced - I feel like they wanted to do too much way too quickly, that's why I didn't really find myself involved. - the plot holes and inconsistensies are so hard for me to bear, because so many things seem pointless and other's not expanded enough The only things that made me enjoy this movie partly is Barbossa and his relationship with Karina. Despite them not having a lot of time in the movie together, I felt every emotion Barbossa was potraying and I wanna praise Geofrey Rush for his performance, because he is a saving grace in this movie. I also found Salazar's past interesting and his reasons were clear, what I really liked. The endings that the characters got I think fit them somehow - it makes sense Elizabeth and Will stopped being pirates and settled to live on an island, since they never really wanted to become pirates in the first place, it was all pretty much forced upon them in some way. Jack continuing to sail is also pretty logical and it made me happy they didn't force him into settling down. Overall the movie wasn't as bad as some people say, but it definetly wasn't living up to what was set before it. The only thing I am happy about from this movie is seeing how everyone ended up and their stories having an end, instead of technically being left unfinished.

David Wenham (who plays faramir in LOTR) is the navy captain in this movie

Although this film can't compete with the original trilogy, it is still a fun pirate move with great mythology. I also really like the design of the cursed pirates.

21:15 the compass leads Barbossa to Jack

Yes bad writing... but my theory is that Jack knew once he gave up the compass he knew Salizar would be released and him and Barbosa made some sort of plan to be able to reunite him with his daughter because Barbosa wanted to die but wanted to see his daughter. Yes far fetched but better than the writing lol also they couldve made Salizar so much more scarier than anyone like even the flying dutchman steered clear because his ship can be broken but it can be brought back together again.

Angelina Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

Crawl is a good movie that features Kaya Scodelario as the main lead.

even though i do agree its not the best iteration of the franchise. to this day the best line ive ever heard was the horizontally recline joke.

"Died to a skeleton" Can confirm. Saw the death message in chat. >.

3:58 the Titanic sank April 1912 so no this is looooong before that XD

Cannot wait for your reaction on planet of the apes also the 5 mad max films would be really cool to see - not sure you’ve done them yet

you have to understand that this was around the time Disney was diving into the wokeness waters and this was the time the whole start of the Amer Heard and Johnny Depp crap (No pun intended) was happening during the filming of this movie.

how did he find jack huhh huhh lmao u r so funny

Depp obviously wasn’t at his best (or at least that’s what I HEARD), and I think he was actually drunk during a lot of filming which really didn’t help…. It’s hard to ignore the issues with this movie, especially the plot holes. It does have good moments.

To be fair I don’t think a movie not explaining every minute detail is an example of sloppy writing. Plus the original movies did stuff like this a lot.

it was possibly a tease then disney fired johnny for that amber turd thing , also there was suppose to be other stories or else the map jack stole would be kinda useless puzzle

but???? wholdt William Die because the curse is as sure to do the job for 10 years but he put his heart in the chest doesnt that aswell get broken or does will still be invinible untill someone stab his heart????? :S

Barbosa found Jack because he had the compass...

i like how ghost dud say jack sparrow and death of we know who

To be honest, this is my second favorite POTC movie. Yes, it largely is a reboot, but unlike the 2nd and 3rd movies, it feels like it tells a complete story. Those second and third movies were kind of bloated (that part with Giant Calypso was ridiculous), and felt like they were just coasting on the goodwill of the first movie. (I know I'm in the minority on this opinion.)

This was the only pirates I caught at the cinemas. I didn't hate it, but I did feel it wasn't quite on par with the rest. IDK I didn't mind it, but it's certainly a step down.

You can tell that they wanted to make a good movie, but they were very inexperienced, and Disney was at the beginning of choosing diversity instead of good writers, and Johnny Depp was emotionally unstable, but they could have used that to say Jack was at the end of his rope, ready to die and pushing everyone away until he had this experience revitalizing his desire to be a pirate. But very bad writers

Can you react to the Bronx tale it’s a really good old classic with life lessons in it

Because you were talking..... you missed that barbosa had the compass which allowed him to find jack

Barbosa MVP of the movie

I can not tell you how much i hate they breaking The curse of the Dutchman always needing a captain. So you telling me Davy Jone's who literally quit his duties ferrying souls to the otherside and turned into a monster coulda just searched for this trident? Thats just bad writing imo

21:00 there is lazy writing for sure, but pretty sure Barbosa used the compass that leads you to the thing you want the most.

I still liked this one over 4th. The writing is weaker but has more and much better action. More entertaining overall. About the entire franchise, the 1st one allways have been the best for me.

I do like this movie, but it's definitely not great. I feel like the central story could have been portrayed in a much more compelling way. I do love the story on its own, and the comedic moments are great, as well as a few dramatic moments, but I think this movie could have had a bit more going on with the performances. I like the new characters for what they are, but they're a bit underwritten, and the movie does rely a bit too much on Johnny Depp, which kind of sucks since in hindsight, a lot was happening with him behind the scenes, so his performance definitely felt more off than usual. (tbf, Jack Sparrow is meant to be kind of "off," but it's a bit more noticeable here). Dead Men Tell No Tales is definitely the weakest Pirates movie, and it could have been great, but as it stands, the movie's just alright. I do think it's far from terrible though. Part of me kind of wishes for a fifth movie just because this one ended off on a pretty interesting note with Will being freed and Jones being back, and I wouldn't mind seeing where that could potentially go, but obviously, I'd hope for that sequel to be better.

I second the reccomendation to watch the Star Trek's with Chris Pine, you'd love them!

To be honest I blame Disney, I don’t like how they wrote it, I personally think it’s ok, but could’ve been better, I don’t like how they just don’t explain plots holes so we basically don’t get any explanation on the stuff that doesn’t make sense

i ahted the 4th one so it made this one better. also depp half assed this movie. he had an earwig the whole movie and just had someone feed him his lines.

Im sorry, but I feel like you're nitpicking some stuff, I'm halfway through the reaction and so far: Barbossa used The compass to find Jack, to free the Pearl you need the Black Beard's sword which Barbossa now owns, he left Karina the ruby, he didnt care for trident some 20 years ago

the compas show you what you desire the most ,BUT if you betray it , the compas free your greatest fear and the pirates's greatest fear is captain Salazar , because he is an pirates hunter he is the greatest pirates hunter ever like the preys who afraid of the hunters all the pirates afraid of captaine Salazar

It was enjoyable enough.

I wish other people where able to enjoy this one as much as me, i just loved the backstory of jack sparrow so i got kindof blinded to any flaws it may have had

I had an issue with the premise: Will was not cursed. He "signed" an employment contract, and if that ended, he should go back to being dead.
