I'm still hoping Doug does a "VeggieTales Month" where he reviews their 2 theatrical films, 2 Christmas films, & Easter film at some point.

This was always planned as a trilogy...just like The Matrix! EDIT: I made this joke before watching the intro.

Can you please review The Crow?

Arr Matey anyone getting sea-sick or cabin fever from "Pirates month" so far ? if not then you will walk the plank matey!

The CGI and ILM on Davy Jones looks creepy and insane, and a lot of people like the awesome design of Davy Jones in the two Pirates of the Caribbean films. I give the character Davy Jones for 10/10 Because of the CGI looks outstanding. 🏴‍☠️

even so I can somewhat see a resemblance

true. when they said Will looks like him they could be refering to the hair, which you know, Bill's hair has been wet this whole time.

This in the take. People(Doug included now) argue on Bloom being a "spitting image" of Skarsgaard, but the fact that between Jack seeing Bootstrap(his reference) to bootstrap getting his share of gold, being tide to a cannon(by his bootstraps), and being folded in to the Dutchman's crew, Bloom looks a more passable son to Stellan Sarsgaard than Bill Sarsgaard(his actual son) does.

I think only 10 or 11 years passed, but I agree with your point. Bootstrap has aged in a very fishy environment.

Would the curse even allow him to age or be effected by being underwater for 10 years? Also that’s gotta suck for poor Bootstrap, he’s stuck down there for 10 years then suddenly without warning he becomes mortal again and starts drowning

That line just reinforces "the compass doesn't point north". Not anything else.

oh so true!! I thought i wasn't going to find a comment saying this, all we knew in the first movie was it was a compass that doesn't point north, no one other then the one guy in beginning said it was broken and given no one said otherwise Critic just assumed that was the case, but it is the biggest McGuffin in the whole series.

@@BridaUlv It's pretty much implied how it works from the first movie. They state that Isla de Muerta cannot be found except by those who already know where it is, but Jack could find it with the use of his compass. Barbossa found it by complete coincidence by being lost, because "you have to be lost to find a place that cannot be found". It's a bit unfortunate that Doug has several criticisms of these movies so far based on simply missing context because its pretty subtle, when I think he should instead be praising it.

@@Hobo_X "Pretty much implied" does not mean it's conveyed. All Gibbs said was they weren't going north. All you hear in the first film is that the compass doesn't point north. That doesn't mean it points to the heart's true desire.

​@@BridaUlv I think the original implication was simply that the compass points to Isla De Muerta. The heart's desire actually makes more sense, so if it's a retcon, it's a pretty good retcon.

holy fuck its shady! love your stuff man. its fun finding people you watch in other comments

It was right up there with watching as the Death Egg plummeted back to Angel island after sending Robotnik's Big Arms invention to the scrap heap at the end of Sonic 3

I remember that too.

I popped. Then had to explain to my mom, who hadn’t seen the first movie, why it was a big deal 😂

Its like how u kill him in kh2 then in 3 he shows up and Sora's instant reaction being OH HELL NOT AGAIN KILL HIM THREE TIMES THIS TIME only for everyone to be chill

Wait are you serious?

​@Laucron I heard they were told it would be Zoe Saldana as Anamaria.

@@ninjabluefyre3815 Correct! Which is believable, considering she just kinda disappeared, but I honestly think bringing back Barbossa was the right call.

There are 3 improvised moments in the movie that stands out, first one you mentioned - that none of the crew knew that Geoffrey Rush was returning to the series, and was making a surprise cameo at the end. Second one was the kiss between Elizabeth and Jack before she chains him up was not put in the scripts, the actors were told the scene on the spot, but no one told Orlando Bloom, so his reaction to seeing the kissing scene is also genuine. Third one, and perhaps the best with the Barbossa cameo at the end, is the Jar of Dirt song and fall before it. Jack was supposed to taunt Jones in a creative fashion, but Depp did actually accidently fall down the stairs which is why when he continues the scene and the improvised scene with song, the "dafuq?" look each of the cast gives each other as he passes is also genuine.

That's awesome! I was surprised too when he showed up!

You can feel the effort they put into him to make him look creepy. Plus the build-up to his appearance is well done

Same with Thanos.

When you have a good CGI program At a studio you could do wonders.

Even king kong on peter Jackson's Movie is still holding up.

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 I think Thanos is too cartoony. But that is my opinion.

And also makes perfect sense because Jack does'nt know the heart was'nt in there.

That scene always makes me giggle. I love the reactions from Keira and Orlando looking at each other like “what is Johnny on?”

If it's any consolation, he used the music for his Top 11 Best Villains video.

And the Kraken theme is amazing too

​@@saviitrius That theme works so well with that review too! Makes it so much creepier!

talking about the pirate music is like talking about the star wars music, is too iconic and praised to death that barelly goes without saying that without that music the pirates films wouldn be as remebered. He has a top 11 movie theme song where he talks in about the theme song

@@motor4X4kombat i forgot about that one! That's one they should definitely reupload if they can get around copyrights

Yeah and it still works as a weird character trait that Jack carries it around, we just don’t know until this movie what the deal with it is. I think the newest film does retcon it because Tia Dalma gave him the compass, but in the new movie I think Young Jack gets it as a tribute when all the pirates are giving him items after he kills Salazar

Also at one point in the first film Will still asks Gibbs how Jack came into possession of that compass, since he understood that it is not a normal object. So yeah, the "what you want most in the world" story isn't really a retcon. The story of how he got it, yes it is. Who gave it to him in the end? Tia Dalma or his old captain?

​@@NTWoo95 It was pointed out that he could've obtained the compass on behalf of his captain, who then gave it to him knowing more about it than Jack was initially told by Tia Dalma.

​@@virgilstarkwell1501 Could be both. Could've bartered it from Dalma on behalf of his captain, who then gave it to him.

Yeah, I was really annoyed when Doug complained about this. Like he didn't watch the first movie, or is just looking for reasons to dislike this one.

They look better than most of the effects in Ant Man Quantumania.

CGI looks awesome to this day

The CGI and ILM on Davy Jones looks creepy and insane, and a lot of people like the awesome design of Davy Jones in the two Pirates of the Caribbean films.

They earned that Oscar for this. Compare Davy Jones to what they did with Salazar and the zombie shark; Javier’s CG isn’t bad but it’s bland compared to all the work on Davy Jones. I found Davy Jones creepy as a 13 year old watching this; it’s still creepy now though

Earned the film a much deserved Oscar.

There Is a whole scene of jack in a fricking storm using the Compass like It Is working.

@grimorio6968 I know there is. It's the same scene

You hit every point perfectly. I don’t know what Doug was smoking on this episode. What’s weird is he seems content to let Marvel slide with their garbage.

@@questworldiangreenknight7455 Well, he did at least praise the choreography and overall fun of this scene. He wasn't the biggest fan of Thor: Love and Thunder and Quantumania if I recall.

Very well put...it's very good...and a lot of fun

agreed they were even better than barnabas and his crew.

Bro, I always liked the Hammerhead guy (Maccus) design. Even had a figure of him as a kid.

But how did he fuse with a hammerhead?

@@maxx951 I think it's more the shark grew out of him.

I like the crab pirate myself but the hammerhead guy is awesome too!

Right?? He's such an underrated character, and I'm glad he got explored further than "the ex-boyfriend."

Oh definitely! He's much more interesting as the movies go on and I always approve of movies furthering a character's character.

He was even more interesting than Will.

I agree, Norrington really stuck his neck out and redeemed himself. He was always a good man at heart, I think, he just had to take off the uniform.

@@kingblanketfort Unfortunately, he died so quick in 3. Such a waste.

I believe it also points towards Elizabeth when Norrington is holding it.

Eh the effect's for the Kraken's not really that great. Not terrible but hasn't aged well like Jones has.

The Kraken scene is to me the most memorable part of the movie, so to criticize that scene makes no sense to me.

Actually it does have a point to the plot. It gives one of our characters experience against the Kraken so that they have a chance against it in the climax. Will formulated his entire plan because he knew how it attacked

@@AvantelWulf exactly. Honestly I think Doug just wanted a reason to not like the film.

@@AvantelWulf That’s true. I didn’t think of it that way. I also think Doug is really reaching on overly hating these films. They aren’t really that bad. Then again, he undoubtedly watches movies in a different way than I do. I’m not overly critical if there is something in the film that doesn’t make a lot of sense or “isn’t important to the plot”. As long as it isn’t major. The most important thing for me is if it is entertaining to watch. It doesn’t have to have the most amazing, tightly written script. Doug seems to kinda base his reviews on a lot of personal biases.

Very impressive

It was so weird knowing it was a guy actually under all the CG as a kid. You should watch his GQ interviews to hear his thoughts about being stuck in the mo-cap suit for the entire shoot

Those were by Bill Nighy?! I mean I see it now but I was not expecting that

And also Rattlesnake Jake from Rango

And was in Underworld as Viktor, Shaun of the dead as Philip (sorry Philip 😜) and countless others.

Same

And guess what’s inside it

@@jessedellross3245 Uhm, dirt? 😂

Jack gloating about the jar of dirt was the equivalent of Lex Luther showing off his Kryptonite ring during a Superman fight

fun fact Depp completely forgot his actual lines for that moment so just adlibbed lol. thank god

I love to hate him.

Exactly and you can always count on Jack to provide freedom and adventure!

Which later she just becames a wife and a mother to a child of a guy that will be most of his life in the sea while she's at home.

@@lunavioleta001 People's desires change over time, you know.

@@DigiDestined13 Fine, but this a movie and a story. It makes for a far less interesting or fun character and kind of ruins her character over all. She just become so typical when she had so much potential to be more. All that adventure, character development,etc, to be what was expected of her, to become a housewife.

@@lunavioleta001 Agree to an extent. I’m the first movie Elizabeth is BEYOND interesting. She becomes blander and blander as the trilogy goes on. I like her and Will together but it could’ve been done so much better

Well it focused on the "boring" charachters so it was'nt important apparently.

To be honest he is not that deep. Yes, there's good in him, but his two emotions in this franchise are anger and sadness. Not to mention that I still have trouble understanding their relationship, and more specifically who betrayed who.

​@@valentinkambushev4968 I think it's supposed to be that Calypso "betrayed" Jones because she is the sea: the sea is treacherous by nature. It's part of how Jones fell in love with the sea and with a woman.

@Blokewood3 but there's still this whole "Jones told the brotherhood how to imprison Calypso" which I honestly don't know where it fits in the timeline. I guess it happened after she dumped him, but the movie doesn't really explain it well.

@@valentinkambushev4968 Yeah, I'm not quite sure either.

Davy Jones: "We have a Kraken!!"

Quizno's sponge monkeys: "WE GOT A PEPPER BAR!"

​@@tristanhartup4936 charlie brown: I got a rock.

"We have to stop".

Nugget: I have Donk

meh

They arent underrated. Dead mans chest won the visual effects oscar. At worlds end shouldve won as well but they gave it to Golden Compass lol. Point is, These visual effects artists for the Trilogy deserved every award

What do you mean underrated? They were critically acclaimed, they're a known highlight of the movie. If you wanna say they're good, just say they're good.

​@@Rodan16 Golden Compass sucks though! At world's end is so much better! Lol

He's better than javier bardem as random ghost pirate captain in the fifth one. At least Jones has a personality.

@@kdusel1991He’s horrible. He’s a character I love to hate.

They actually released a home version of the game around the time when these sequels came out. I played the game with my family back in the day. I remember it being fun.

I vaguely remember playing it on the computer honestly

I see you are a viewer of *Filmento* as well.

You could argue that there is actually a time crunch once Davy Jones gives Jack three days to find 99 souls

​@@jonkornealus9604 well I am a film major so I knew about these elements of screenwriting before but I do like his breakdowns of what works and what doesn't. It is pretty reminiscent of what I learned in NAU.

​@@jonkornealus9604I see you like Suikoden...

Eh, I disagree with your points on Will’s motivation for the chest. Initially he was only after the compass to save Elizabeth. For a little while he wanted the key for that same reason, but that all changed when he reunited with his father. After the father son reunion, Will’s main goal becomes setting his father free. This goal carries over into the third film.

I feel like Rush and Depp are the only two who enjoyed acting in each film they were in the whole way through.

His GQ interview talking about how Verbinksi got him involved and calling the suit “polka dot pajamas” is charming

He’s horrible. I love to hate Davy Jones.

I also love to hate Lord Cutler Beckett, Blackbeard and Salazar.

Mmph, don't get the last part. Memory is too fuzzy

@@Laucron Bootstrap is forgetting who he is and becoming nothing more than part of the crew

@@mrcritical6751 part of the ship

One of my favorite unscripted moments, next to Heath Ledger's Joker fiddling with the bomb remote before it went off and Jim Carrey Grinch swiping the tablecloth cleanly off the table by accident and running back to finish making the mess.

Similar thing with the return of Captain Barbossa. None of the cast knew he would return and the suprised reactions are all legit.

I wish Doug would have mentioned the improv, but all he knew about was the memes.

Nothing foun about that.

The first 3 are amazing movies ya there's problem but so what it's fun

It was also common to leave a marooned pirate with a gun with only one shot

Which there are none, because this movie is absolutely amazing and near flawless.

This film doesn't even have that many problems 😂 Most people were just upset because it ended on a cliff hanger

Dude yeah watching the first move I thought it just somehow tracked the black pearl.

@@nadertayeh6809 Yeah, when I watched the first one, before this came out, I though they were implying the compass pointed to the island. He found an island that couldn't be found unless you knew where it was. How? Because he had a "broken" compass that told him where to go. The more detailed explanation that specified that it worked because what he really wanted was the treasure from the cursed isle was clearly not fully thought out before, but fits that just fine.

plus it explains why Will knows what it is/how to fight it the first time, but is unprepared when it comes back with a vengeance

The first Kraken attack scene also builds up anticipation for the finale. We finally get a good look at how powerful and terrifying it is. Everyone aboard that merchant ship(except Will who had plot armor) basically had no chance. All that devastation, and then we remember that it’s coming after the Black Pearl next. Makes the audience wonder how Jack and friends can possibly escape such a horror. The moment we hear the sound of the Kraken grabbing the Pearl under the water, we know people are about to die. THAT is how you create suspense.

@@anrick1362 finally, someone understands the purpose of the scene. If you ask me, nostalgia critic should not be reviewing these movies If he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and after watching his review As well as the one he did before this, it’s clear that he doesn’t. Everything you described was exactly how it was supposed to go. We have just seen firsthand what the Kraken can do so when we see it now going for the Black Pearl we remember what it did to the merchant vessel, and it creates a sense of dread because now that thing is gonna attack the pearl. When he reviewed the curse of the Black Pearl, he glossed over a number of things. One of the things being when Norrington decides to do as jack sparrow, suggested, and hunt for the Black Pearl. He said, and I quote “why do people listen to this guy“. I can tell you exactly why this shows just how manipulative and cunning Jack sparrow is. It is showing that he knows what makes a person tech he knows what drives them, and it’s clear he uses that to his advantage. The way he words things like when he was trying to convince captain Barbossa to send off his crew to attack the HMS dauntless. He makes it sound like there’s something big to gain from what he’s suggesting they do. He also knows that commodore Norrington hates pirates, so he suggests that norrington go after a pretty big pirate threat (the black pearl) throughout the Caribbean. All of this, I just said, isn’t mentioned directly, it shown and hinted at through clever use of words. Another thing he criticize Elizabeth, when the battle against the Black Pearl and the HMS interceptor wasn’t going so well. It wasn’t even her idea to fight to begin with the person that actually suggested they fight was will turner. Her first thought was to try to escape and then when they couldn’t, she gave another suggestion, which actually turned out to be a pretty good surprise, showing that she is very capable in tight spots. So I don’t know where he’s getting off that she isn’t capable. Don’t get me wrong I still love the nostalgia critic and I enjoy a lot of his reviews but sometimes he can say things that are not very well thought out.

@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 totally agree, I don't think he is taking the time to analyse this movie as it deserves

@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 Yeah, I was honestly surprised when Doug said the scene is pointless. It's literally one of the most common ways to establish a threat. Show what is coming for the hero and make it completely obliterate something that isn't the hero. This way we have established a baseline of what could happen to the hero.

I'm still hoping he reviews Toys, and the Brothers Grunt.

that could be pretty fun or one of them.

​@@KingRandor82 I think he did Toys, didn't he?

@@belleofbrightside97 no, he listed it among movies he wouldn't review...and then reviewed those movies

@@KingRandor82 Coulda sworn it existed before... o well. Makes me wonder if it was someone else but I don't really watch many movie reviewers

Same when put all together it's character development for the core cast and keeps the same tone of funny goofyness that made this so fun to watch and ya some of that is because of Jack and the influence johnny had on the direction but everyone gets time to shine in these somehow

Then they ruined it by making two terrible sequels.

I heard they originally wanted a dutch accent but Bill couldn't do one so they went with scottish instead.

He's great!

There's nothing fun about that.

Tia Dalma gave the compass to Jack like she said in Dead Man's Chest then it was retoned in the fifth film flashback the pearl former captain gave young Jack the compass told him not to betray it. My head canon easy fix the former captain was given compass by Tia Dalma and upon she discovering he died she finds out he gave it ti jack and when she meets Jack she lets him keep it as a way to honor his former captain as his tribute.

@@Lopez03Eduardo. I meant in the first movie it wasn't explained, so it was fair game to invent an explanation...

Fifth one gives it more backstory former black pearl captain tells young Jack what to do with it and how to use it.

I like At Worlds End a lot, but yeah, Dead Man's Chest its a incredible adventure movie

Here’s something I noticed though, Davy Jones wants 99 souls in 3 days. It’s established in the movie. So why are they being so peculiar about who joins and who doesn’t? They should just take all the 99 that ask to join. They’d all join the crew rather than face a watery grave

@@Tom_Zone I meant particular and yes I meant Gibbs and sparrow

I always found the script of this movi eone of the most clever ways to write an adventure script so I don't really get this but I get your point about the visuals.

I like the script in this movie way more than the first

They were all told it would be Zoe Saldana coming out of that room apparently

One of the greatest sequels of all time. 🏴‍☠️

@@ChristianGabino “I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! and Guess What’s inside It?!”

Yeah, exactly. I think it’s because Doug himself doesn’t like the characters so he thinks that everyone doesn’t. When in actuality, people actually do like the characters of Will and Elizabeth. If you want proof of that, look how the franchise fell apart when they were gone.

@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 Very true

How can people say part two is longer than than part 3? I don’t understand that argument. Dead mens chest is amazing

Will should have taken revenge on Elizabeth like the Count of Monte Cristo.

The third one is a fantastic movie, so magical and adventurous. Hope he can see that, and not only complais about the "complicated" stuff

And a fantastic performance from Bill Nighy

If she didn't want you seeing death, why on earth take you to a POTC movie---there was death in the first one too---and in this one, they show a crow pecking out the eye of a prisoner. Like, wtf with your mom? LOL

@@kingblanketfort It's a sad fact for me that that Eye-pecking scene is what my mother shielded me from. That actually made the scene worse for I just pictured the dude squirming in agony as blood gushed out his eye-sockets as they were pulled straight out of his head. Memory of that sticks with me to this day. Heh, I have an odd love/hate for these movies. They're nostalgic and Traumatic!

Yeah exactly, this scene does a lot of heavy lifting for the film. We are shown just how powerful and how much of a threat the kraken really is. So when we see that Jones is sending that towards our main character’s ship it creates a sense of dread. Like how are these guys gonna pull through?
