Never has a character been so perfectly introduced without a single line of dialogue being spoken.

Depp was born for this role.

This scene told us everything we need to know about Jack and he didn’t even said a single word. Well played

I like how he doesn’t wanna give his name in the first scene. Never stops saying it the rest of the film! 🏴‍☠️

They shouldn’t bother making another pirates of the Caribbean movie without him. He’s the heart of the franchise

I love how they perfectly summarized Jack's character in a single scene. Right from the beginning you know exactly how this guy operates. So funny.

Pirates of the Caribbean is about many things. A warning about greed and betrayal. A son seeking his dad. A broken man with a broken heart. A promise, that ended tragically. A love story, forced to face a curse. A man refusing to save his soul. Cheating death and how to do it. A daughter with a mission that his dad never gave her. A vengeance that surpasses death itself. ... And then there's Jack, carrying the franchise on his back

Captain* Jack Sparrow nonchalantly stepping off of the mast and onto the dock as if his ship didn't literally just sink will forever be one of my favorite and most memorable moments in cinematic history. The way he just stands there patiently and then sticks his leg out to prepare for landing.

Gentlemen. today is the day you will always remember as the day that the character Jack Sparrow came to the world.

this is the single best entrance in the history of entrances.

on this day, June 1st 2022. Captain Jack Sparrow was given the justice he sought for years. #JohnnyIsFree

It's hard to believe that this movie is already 20 years old. And still, what a great masterpiece!

If I ever immigrate to another country, this is how I would like to arrive

The orchestration of this movie's music is just incredible.

Such a brilliant opening. It immediately sets the tone of the film while also making us love Jack from the start.

0:01 Johnny before marrying Amber Turd 0:18 Johnny after marrying Turd and getting into the trial 0:34 Amber's legal team during the trial 0:59 us fans rooting for Johnny 1:04 Johnny after winning the trial 1:42 Johnny pocketing the 15 mil from Amber Turd

I like how in the middle of trying to stop his boat from sinking, Jack takes a moment to pay respects to his fallen pirate brethren. He’s a pirate, but as Will says, a good man as well.

That. That is how you make an entrance.

This scene is a perfect metaphor for the franchise. Like the boat, Johnny Depp is the one keeping it afloat, once Johnny stops, it will sink, be useless and barely recognizable. The one that will leave the scene with his head held up high will be captain Jack Sparrow.

This film had me at “what’d ya say to three shillings.. and we forget the name”. Straight away, perfect actor for the perfect roll. Always makes a film 10 times better.

It is so weird to think that everything, Will and Elizabeth falling in love, jack getting the pearl back, finding the seceret dead mans chest, being chased by cannibals, the kraken attacks, davy jones and his locker, the bretheren court setting free calypso, the giant whirlpool sequence, and will becoming captain of the flying dutchman, happened all because, jack sparrow, "sailed" into port royal that day

Describe Jack in one scene: THIS

One of the best openings ever. What made it even better is we didn't know what to expect. It set the tone for the entire movie.

The entire franchise is literally HIS story. No jack sparrow, no story

Disney really dropped the ball on this one. Edit: the legend is back, looks like Johnny Depp got his alpacas

The fact that his ship is completely sinking when he arrives at the port yet he is standing on it with such grace and poise makes me laugh everytime 🤣🤣😂. He was a true pirate in every sense of the word. Long like Captain Jack Sparrow!!! It makes me so sad what Johnny is going through right now 😔. I love that guy.

I remember watching this in the movie theater when I was 10. All of Captain Jack’s scenes were legendary.

The way he saluted, just like how he's greeted our fans for all these years And I love it!

The Director immediately let's us know that Jack is an honourable man, when you see him salute his fellow dead pirates. Even though he steals and cons people, he's not disrespectful. He takes off his hat and salutes them when no one is around to watch him. He's already established as the protagonist.

The scene when Jack arrives to the port is just epic, whit his boat sinking and the music just Epic.

1:08 I remember watching this in the cinema when I was about 12 and laughing so hard at that particular part. Jack enters with everyone looking at him just before and then the camerawork and the revelation that the dinghy has already sunk was just pure comedy gold! 🤣

I don't care if Pirates 4 & 5 were bad, I don't care if any future Pirates movies end up being bad. As long as Johnny Depp is playing Captain Jack Sparrow, I'll definitely watch the movie. To me, the man's the G.O.A.T.

This is probably the best scene of all three movies. Sorry.

Take an epic fail, add Captain Jack Sparrow, and it becomes simply epic.

Mr. Smith's entrance to port Royal is maybe the best entrance ever.

The fact that I will never see him enter in as Jack Sparrow again breaks my heart everytime.

The music being played straightforwardly is part of what makes it so funny. The scene plays out a comedic scenario but the music doesn’t resort to a more fitting tune, it keeps on playing the same grand theme giving it a hilariously ironic mood

Thank God that Deniro didnt want that role. Thank God Depp get it

The GREATEST character introduction in the history of cinema

congrats on the victory, cap'n. You deserve it.

best character entrance scene in cinema history!

Fun fact,one of the dead pirates hanging was Jack Rackham aka Calico Jack ( Real life pirate).

Watching this on 6/2/2022, they day he won ❤

I'm so happy for him today, finally got his life back ...💮💮💮💮

1:03 best scene of the whole series.

I’m not even a fan of the franchise, but THAT entrance + the score? Nailed.

THIS IS HOW YOU INTRODUCE A CHARACTER!! No dialogue required: all you need are amazing (and in this case, contradictory) shots that tell you exactly who they are. In under 2 minutes, you learn everything you need to know about Captain Jack Sparrow.

He is the soul of this franchise... He is the one n only ..captain

Sad how Johnny never wants to do another Pirates movie because of the way the producers treated him after Amber lied on him.

I can't stop watching this. I've repeatedly watched this scene for the last hour and I still don't feel satisfied. So damn sick.

Their is no Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny, he is the movie! Thx for the wonderful talented performance Johnny.

This hits different after court verdict

The moment when Captain Sparrow honored those dead pirates was just my favorite. Respect!

Took all of 60 seconds to make me fall in love with this Character, who by the way is the most Recognized character in cinematic history, by sight, silhouette, Hat, voice, movements, any kid, man or women can tell you who he is, the one and only.... Mr. Smith.

Possibly my favourite character introduction of all time!

Seeing this way back when as a kid it stuck with me then, and it still does now. Even though he's on a tiny sail boat, even though its sinking and everything seems to have gone wrong in his life. He keeps his head up high and carries on.

It was on this day that a legend was born.

You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of. But you have heard of me!

0:19. When Johnny Depp was fired from Disney 1:04 After Johnny Depps trial with Amber

Still the best example of "Show, Don't Tell" I've ever seen from a writing standpoint...

1:03 When you pass your exams with 7 and didnt study.

I love this scene in particular because the build of character is amazing. Everything this scene shows defines exactly what Jack is. We start with Jack watching the horizon from the top of the mast, with an epic pose. The take makes us believe Jack has this huge ship, due to the hight he appears to be standing. He looks confident, epic and determined, like a sort of a "winner" if you agree. The scene making us believe that Jack is SOMEONE. But just on the next take, from one second to another, Jack jumps to the buttom of a, what appears to be a tinny tiny boat, were they reveal us two things that are key to understand Jacks character (1) its not a ship, its just a small boat (2) the boat is sinking 😂🤦‍♀️ and he uses a bucket to keep it at float. All they told us on the first take vs the one with the sinking ship, kinda creates this funny and contradictory persona of Jack: epic, confident and determined, but with all odds againts him. The next take, the one with the hanging dead corps, hints us two things about Jack (1) he a sort of "Moral Code" related to piracy. This tell us he engages to a piracy code of some sort that he respects (2) They confirm us he is actually a pirate (very important). The next scene, Jack arrives to port with the boat fully sunken like nothing happened, keeping his integrity all the way. While funny, this is a master piece of a scene. With no words spoken yet, they defined to perfection Jacks character. Metaphorically speaking, Captain Jack Sparrow, who sees himself as a huge imposing ship, is actually a small sinking boat that even againts all odds he manages to get to destination anyways, with an epic entrance. This scene forshadows Jacks character: he is a pirate that will always find a way to get from point A to point B, with nothing stopping him from doing so, no matter the circumstances. With no shame nor nothing to prove, Jack keeps character and hopes high. In the last scene, were Jack nimbly persuades and also steals from the tax collector, it show us very well Jacks remaining attributes that thrusts his persona: his persuasive, thief and opportunistic nature, his misleading mind games, and most of all... The luck that surrounds him. All above said, this scene is one to take in note on how to build character. Its simply a master piece.

This entire scene is literally a masterclass on how to introduce a character

Who’s here after the verdict?!

I can’t believe that 2003 was the year I watched Harry Potter, The Lord Of The Rings 3, X Men 2, and Pirates of the Caribbean released in theaters.

Time where Pirates of the Caribbean was somehow classy, had good script, had more subtle humor, Jack wasn't about goofy crazy-comedy and when Depp wasn't overracting. When other Pirates of the Caribbean movies have been watchable, Curse of the Black Pearl was excellent, being pretty much the best adventure-comedy film of the early 2000's.

This scene alone displays the kind of character Captain Jack Sparrow is in under 2 minutes

Master of all scenes , such a creativity such an honour to jack 👏

This is what goes through my head as I ride the escalator! The song, the stance, even the step off at the end!

I love how in the beginning you think he's leading some majestic ship only to realise it's just a small boat that's already sinking LOL...he's still captain though...that's Jack Sparrow!

Honestly one of the best introducements I've ever seen to a character

The way it sinks at exactly the right moment so he can step perfectly onto the dock. *chef's kiss*

This is how our Johnny will be back..once he win the battle against Amber false acquisitions. #justiceforjohnny #fightformen

Goodbye Captain, we love you and we'll miss you dearly.

A respectful and prideful pirate, who always get stuck in worst situations because of goofiness? And still being prideful af? That's what I got from this scene.

So iconic, couldn't take my eyes off of a single frame 🔥🔥🔥

Don't forget the fact that Jack knew exactly how much water to bucket out of the boat so that it'd sink just enough to land him on the dock

Tells you everything you need to know about jack in under 2 minutes

What an entrance. I mean it tells use everything we need to know about Jack. He’s both incredibly lucky and unlucky at the same time. Just goes with the flow of life. Has respect for his fallen pirate brothers (I love the salute he does)

Without Johnny, there is no Pirate. Let the legend of Jack Sparrow live on...

1:03 i love how welcoming the music is even though his boat is sinking.

I’ve never been much into movies but I remember saying as a kid that pirates of the Caribbean was my favorite series of movies.

Johnny Depp leaving the court room after winning the trail

Team Johnny 💙 he will land another legendary role! His talent speaks for itself 🥰

"Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith."

0:37 RESPECT ✅✅

The pirates of the Caribbean franchise is one of my favorites ever!

This day will always be remembered as the day they "almost" caught Captain Jack Sparrow Not to mention he had an amazing crew on board. Respect for sailor Ben and gunner Camille😂❤️✨

1:03 When I ride down an escalator in the store.

I LOVE Jack's introduction! It's awesome. Love Jack too^^ "It's a shilling to tie up your boat to the dock..." *Jack looks doubtfully at his sunken dinghy* ALWAYS cracking up at that :)

JP is Pirates of the Caribbean he created the franchise. The other actors were great but he's the one that brought it all together I can't see myself enjoying it without seeing him.

Welcome back Johnny #jdisback

0:46 idk why but I like that for some odd reason

Jack Sparrow is the "Pirate" of the Caribbean we all want to see. Without him it is now just the Caribbean, which we can care less of. Bad job Disney.

This, children, is how I met my favourite disney character.

One of the best, if not the best, introduction of the protagonist to the audience.🤘

0:45 Respect! hahaha

No one can replace Johnny depp as Jack ❤️

Best character entrance ever! I still remember seeing this in the cinema and laughing my head off at the reveal of it being a small boat with a leak. Years later and this still make me giggle, even though we all know what's coming!

"Welcome to Port royal Mr Smith" gets me every time 😂
