Technically Barbossa’s theme is the motif that plays when the Black Pearl crew march underwater. It plays throughout the film to symbolize Barbossa.

Barbossa and Beckett ones are good, but man... The feeling on Davy Jones Theme is indescribably, and the fact that he plays his own theme in the movie makes it even more epic

Beckett riding a horse on a row boat to the shore is a scene you would think Lego made up, but seeing it in the actual film makes it so much better.

All the themes perfectly complement the characters they play over. Barbossas flows into jacks very cleanly, and only has brief sinister motifs, as he and Jack are not so different. Becketts is reserved, neat, controlled, and precise. It is as ordered as he is, and does not rely on force, but rather, delicate, devious calculation. Jones' is emotional, expressive, and tragic, much like him and his life. Blackbeard's is cruel, dominating, hopeless, and goes at its own pace. It is powerful, detached, and sociopathic. Salazar's starts off as something militant, and not inherently evil, but progresses into a sinister, angry, determined motif that grows with rage and intensity.

Anyone ever notice how the beat of davy jones theme is a heartbeat?

Best Overall Theme: Davy Jones Most Haunting Theme : Blackbeard The Most Pirates of Carribean Theme: Barbosa

Salazar’s is like an unstoppable force, coming back again and again. Blackbeard’s is menacing and violent. Barbossa’s is swashbuckling and adventurous. Beckett’s is sophisticated and ruthless. But Jones’… Davy Jones’ theme is the sound of the apocalypse…

Pirates of the Caribbean crew: “Hans we need you to make some music for a pirate movie” The man the myth the legend Hans Zimmerman: *drops these bangers*

I love how almost everyone agrees that Davy Jones' one is unmatched lol

Davy Jones is my favorite antagonist in the entire series!

Each of the themes describes the villain and their story. Barbosa a captain of an unstoppable undead army seeking glory and adventure. Becket is all serious, no joy, no freedom in the melody, just buisness. Davy Jones a sad melody, turn rage filled, lashing out in percussion. Black Beard a chaotic wave of music that ends fowl with death. Salazar mighty roar of strings settles into tragedy, settling into whispers, silencing like a phantom.

What I appreciate about Barbossa's theme is how it feels like a 'dark' version of the main Pirates theme. Really makes him out to be the sorta dark mirror or shadow of Jack imo.

I have never realised that Beckett´s theme is such a masterpiece

I came here to enjoy antagonist themes, but I made a mistake in reading the comments Say whatever you want about the villains in each movie, we all know that Jack the Monkey is the best villain out of all of them

I did not like the 5th movie, but god damn, Salazar’s theme, man…

“We have our heading Here we gooo! From the magic in our hearts To the adventure on the horizon…”

Salazar should have had 2 movies, he was seriously slept on as a villain.

Those are all great, but Davy Jones’ theme is absolutely flawless. Like, all the antagonist’s themes are really cool and epic, but with Jones’ there’s so much emotion and story behind it, and you can almost feel all the pain he went through.

Of course, Davy Jones is the best, but I love Cutler Beckett as well. The most normal antagonist, but the most intelligent guy even made Davy Jones a perpetrator and killed Kraken. The end of him is way better than Davy Jones. The guy with all the plans, and proved all of it except his end. He lost his mind as he meets the first unplanned situation, falling down in vain.

They went so hard on the Blackbeard theme! Davey Jones theme sounds so emotional buf Blackbeard's theme just screams "RUN".

No one can deny the mastery of Hans Zimmer, but Klaus Badelt killed it in CotBP.

Man Barbossas theme here just hits different. The way the ship crashes through the waves during that chase... man probably my favorite track from POTC

Each of the Pirates villains are strong in their own ways but their music is fire.

I love how Barbossa's sounds like a dark version of the main theme. Also, Jones' sounds like something out of Kingdom Hearts and I absolutely mean that as a compliment.

I just realized how the 'tea shot' with Beckett matches the start of POTC2 (just before we first meet Beckett), showing the rain hitting the unused wedding dishes. Very cool.

*Barbosa:* Cunning, determined, ruthless. *Beckett:* Intricate, almost militaristic, cold. *Davy Jones:* Dark and gothic, subtle notes of heartbreak and tragedy. *Black Beard:* Menacing, sadistic and evoking emotions of chaos. *Salazar*

Davey Jones has by far one of the best themes of all time. It has a great atmosphere, ebb and flow, and perfectly matches him as a character. He's intense and merciless and yet sad and tortured all at the same time. His score has depth while the others simply have "oooo bad guy" bombast.

Lord Beckett has got be one of the most underrated villains. His way with words is so calculative and he just controlled everything in the sea through power and manipulation. The true villain of potc 2 and 3 imo. Even Jones became a weapon just for Beckett

Has to be one of the most rewatchable series ever made. Constantly filled with action, quotable dialogue and kickass soundtracks!

I remember first hearing the Blackbeard theme, thinking "THIS is scary!"

I always liked Barbossa as an antagonist but preferred him more as a protagonist. Watching him in Curse of the Black Pearl you realize that he wasn’t actually that bad of a guy. When you see him in At World’s End onwards he’s actually a pretty decent guy and I also just love the banter between him and Jack.

Imagine *Black Pearl, Flying Dutchman, HMS Endeavor, Queen Anne's Revenge and Silent Mary* all going into a fight

At 0:25, Barbossa’s theme shifts to a mournful funeral like tone, with the low choir in the background sadly vocalizing as if showing that his death is nigh, and that his adventure will end for a time, before building back to a crescendo, as if he’s back! And better than ever! I imagine that his return wasn’t necessarily planned when that soundtrack was being written, but it does fit so well

It's a great saga. Adventure, fantasy, pirates. It's all there. Think i'll rewatch it soon.

no one talking about Blackbeard and Salazar they're both cool villains with cool themes

As many issues as I have with On Stranger Tides, I have to admit Blackbeard's theme was amazingly well done also I think the fact that Davy Jones' theme was diegetic *and* works as such just ascends it to another plane of existence

I love how barbossa’s theme is basically a different version of the “hes a pirate” theme

I know others have said it all ready but each theme fits the villains perfectly. Barbosa's theme is devious and yet adventurous at the same time because at the end of the day he's a pirate same as Jack. Becket is orderly and plain to fit the world he desires. Jones is sad and tragic and turns sinister and rageful. Blackbeards is fast paced and unrelenting with little build up. And Salazar's starts out somewhat innocently before taking a drastic turn just as his life did.

Am i the only one who liked Blackbeard? He was cruel and fearsome and i think that's enough to show a great pirate leader

Hans Zimmer is such a beast. All the themes fit so well. Hearing Davies' just tells you the Devil is coming for you.

Blackbeards theme sounds like a demented circus, kinda perfectly fits what was going through his mind

Salazar's is seriously slept on

I love how each of these songs fit their respective characters so perfectly. *Barbosa:* Gives me a classic pirates feeling. When I think of yo ho ho, rum, plundering, and overall piracy, I think of this song. *Lord Beckett:* Calls to mind indomitable ambition, unstoppable, never ceasing, ever reaching and grasping. *Davy Jones:* So deep and layered. It feels equal parts despair, longing, bitterness, and anger. *Blackbeard:* Dread, ruthlessness, no quarter, a song to match the infamous legacy of the real life pirate it was written for *Salazar:* Unstoppable, implacable, merciless, no matter how many ships come, this song gives off the feeling that Salazar will condemn them all

Barbossa Is Hungry and Davy Jones are the most beautifull themes especially at 0:07

Nothing makes me cry more like Davy Jones theme. It's so beautiful.

ik that everyone is clowing on salazar but that moment at 4:20-4:23 sounded so badass

Man Hollywood used to make great films , loved POTC when it came out .

You know Beckett always reminds me of Lord Farquad. Ever since I was a kid. Holy moly

I've only ever watched Pirates 4 once but dang I did not remember how good Blackbeard's theme was!

Honestly, you can hate On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales but you gotta admit that Blackbeards and Salazars themes are awesome. Same as Barbossas and Becketts. And Jones‘ is nothing but a masterpiece.

One of the things I love on this saga is that every main caracter and main event has his own beautiful theme. But Dude Davy Jones one is still the best

Bro, there should be a whole religion with massive temples for Hans Zimmer, he is unbelievable on every job

1:52 Come my love be one with the sea Rule with me for eternity Drown your dreams so mercilessly And leave their souls to me Play the song you sang long ago And wherever the storm may blow You will find the key to my heart We'll never be apart Wild and strong you can't be contained Never bound nor ever chained Wounds you caused will never mend And you will never end --- Fiajela's lyrics

*enter the comment section* Every villains of this saga are cool and epic And their theme are epicness 🏴‍☠️🗿 No matter what movie is (1,2,3,4 or 5) *leaves*

Well damn now i need to watch the whole franchise again

Before I say anything, I would like you to know that this is my opinion, so if you think differently and reply why, don’t that I’m wrong or stupid for my opinion. Anyways, I think that each theme represents their respective characters. Barbossa’s theme is very similar to Jack Sparrow’s theme, showing how the two really one in the same. The only difference is, as we hear in his theme, Barbossa has been corrupted by the curse (not to say he wasn’t already evil), and how far he’s willing to go and uplift said curse. Beckett’s theme feels more like an orchestra, symbolizing how he’s a civilized man trying to change a mostly uncivilized world. It also has a sense of urgency, showing that if he isn’t able to find Davy Jones’ heart, and keep for a long period of time, then he (and his bosses) won’t be able to make a profit from it. Davy Jones theme feels like the musical version of a tragedy, and very emotional and sad, very much representing who Davy Jones is and his life. Meanwhile, Blackbeard’s theme is, in my opinion, the weakest out of all of them. It feels the most generic, however this does represent who Blackbeard is to most people. He’s what most people think of when they hear the word “pirate”. He’s a big, bad, and all around a jerk. He may act all nice and jovial at times, but when you see him in combat or anything else, he’s the most terrifying man you’ll ever see. Salazar’s theme is by far the one that (aside for Davy Jones’ theme), practically tells you who he is without having to see any of his scenes (except for the flashback, which is important). But anyways, his theme is very militant at first, but gets more sadistic and evil as it continues. This represents two things about him. First, it represents that he’s a soldier, bred for battle and always on the mindset of war. But with that also comes ferocity and absolute carnage that soldiers show in the heat of battle. Second, it also represents how the single, solitary thought he has, is about how he allowed a young boy to completely defeat and embarrass him. And, how he will never stop thinking about that moment, until he gets his revenge on that boy.

Jones and Blackbeard Themes are so epic. holy

Barbossa, Jones, and Salazars themes are peak villain themes. (Although barbossa’s theme is not really a “villain” theme)

Salazar sounds almost like a theme for a Pacific Rim Kaiju, with the grand yet slow orchestra. Pretty neat.

Love Davy Jones' theme. Filled with a sadness and longing for the life and love he had, but also a bitter resolve to fill the role he is cursed with.

I love Davy Jones’ theme beyond words… 🫶🏻

Davy Jones wins this easily for the best theme

Man Barbossa and Davy Jones themes are so goooddddd

I like Lord Beckett’s theme lol it’s amazing 😂

Looks at most played part of the video and sure enough its Davy Jones, no surprises there because it was an absolute masterpiece of music. Pure fire.

Salazars theme is so underrated

I know it says “Barbosa” in the title, but that’s the Will and Elizabeth leitmotif. You hear it all the time in connection to them.

Effectively Davy Jones & Salazar's Scores and notes give me chills. Holy works every Flipin time

Blackbeard’s is the most badass one ngl

Davy Jones is my favorite villain in this universe by far. But the beginning of Salazar's theme is so 🤌

Davy Jones’ theme just sounds so mythical and legendary that it really trumps the rest by a landslide I will note Salazar’s theme is pretty good though

I wanna see a prequel series when Davy Jones is one of the antagonist

Davy Jones’ theme goes so hard dude 🔥 One of my favorite movie villains ever.

They're all masterpieces

Geoff Zanelli did an amazing job at capturing the character of Salazar in his theme. Especially after Hans zimmer absolutely crushing all the others he made.

I always Beckett to be most compelling out this bunch. Man had no super powers, magical ships or mystical creatures of his own. Yet with his cunning, ruthlessness and ambition, mere man enslaved beings far more powerful than himself and nearly won.

Simply the Davy Jones theme is the best

That's something the Pirates franchise was always fantastic at, the villains. Even the "worst" one (Blackbeard) is masterfully executed. And they elevate their movies everytime, even if there's nearly nothing to elevate really (I'm looking at you, Dmtnt)

Barbossa and Davy Jones were my two favorites Jones theme and story is just into the heart it feels Barbossas was dramatic and intimidating, which, I think captured them very well

The way the flying dutchman comes roaring out if the ocean to that theme is just simething else

That first one, the Barbosa theme, is so iconic. Will: “We must stand and fight. Load the guns!” Ana Maria: “With what?” Will: “Anything! Everything! Anything we have left!” Chills.

Man, Davy Jones will go down as one of the most iconic movie villains of all time

💀Hector Barbossa - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003) 🐙Davy Jones - Dead Man’s Chest (2006) 🇬🇧Lord Cutler Beckett - At World’s Ends (2007) ☠️Blackbeard - On Stranger Tides (2011) 🔱Salazar - Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

Jones is just a walking apocalypse, and the organ matches that perfectly.

POTC has some of the best Antagonists in any film series only outstripped by their themes

Hearing lyrics for Davy Jones’ theme actually makes it more sad as it just shows how much he truly loved Calypso just after losing his heart and getting the curse him and his crew got he became almost completely unfeeling of anything. When Jack was tempting Jones to let Will go for he’s in love, it hit and was close to working as it was what made Will Turner and Davy Jones similar. When he became captain after the movie I was glad to see his curse was reversed so the same didn’t happen to him

Personally my favorite is Black Beard's theme. That scene where it played while showing Queen Anne's Revenge was satisfying

Davy Jones theme is just dripping with thematic style, the song is an embodiment of his character, and it’s something I haven’t seen in basically any other movie.

Whatever one may say, nothing slams as hard as Barbossas drums.

This is the most underrated movie series of all time! Love these movies!!!

Enough new villains if they ever make a new pirates of the Carribbean film we not only need to have Jack but Also Davey back, imagine hearing that organ again in theater I'm sure I'll cry of pure joy

I love how all the themes make them appear great and powerful…actually haunting.

Davy Jones is obviously number one but people aren’t giving Blackbeard’s theme enough credit

Salazar is an underrated villain

Davy Jones' theme is brilliant. Especially the fact that it suits the lyrics to "Hoist the Colours".

Having Davy Jone's heartbeat as a baseline for his theme song was a struck of pure genius.

bro why is everyone hating on salazar lol

Barbosas theme goes way too hard

I despise DMTNT, but god damn Salazar’s theme is so sick.

Its so cool that the Davy Jones's theme imitates a heartbeat all the way through.
