They also should’ve included complications of freeing Calypso in the plot. They just completely abandoned the third movie and any form of continuity to the previous. Pintel and Ragetti should’ve returned as their side characters, because their witty banter and antics were crucial to the plot even if they didn’t directly interact with the main cast. Plus, they were hilarious. They should have just waited for Gore Verbinski to be available. The writers were alright but just forgetting the original cast for no reason was stupid. The only thing I’m grateful for was that they kept Jack and Mr. Gibbs and Barbosa. (Even if he wasn’t as cool as he was in the previous movies). Also it seemed the movies just lacked that gringy, pirate feeling. The color pallet was lighter, and the mood just didn’t seem… “pirate-y.”

The thing that baffled me about blackbeard is that where was he during the 3rd movie where all the pirates came to fight for their way of life, especially since he is known as this pirate that all pirates fear you would think that he would have some presence in the war from the 3rd movie ? Unless if they made his story that he is the embodiement of what Jack mightve become if he chose to runaway and not face Davey Jones, what if just like Jack Blackbeard made a deal with Davey Jones but when it was time to pay up blackbeard ran away to land giving up on being a pirate and hiding on land thinking that Jones can never find him and that his pirate days are over and he'll never go out to sea again accepting his cowardly fate of leaving the sea without trying to face his problems unlike what Jack did, but surprisingly when davey jones does die blackbeard can niw come back to the sea with no fear of the flying dutchman but too old and without a crew to be as strong as he once did years ago he decides to go out on his magical ship on all on his own despite his weak state in search of the foutain of youth to be young again and make up for lost time all while collecting ships and kudnapping crew to his crew building up an armada that he can fully use with its full force as soon as he is young again, the mivie can end with him actually reaching his goal and becoming young again and with the huge armada of ships he has collected throughout his return the 5th movie can start off with all the 7 seas suffering under his tyranny leading to another war by the end of it that will end blackbeard once and for all

the Spanish have a good motivation and its explained quite well in the movie, they see the fountain as an abomination towards the catholic faith and their not wrong the fountian does not grant eternal life it robs one life span to give to another which just another form of human sacrifice which all Christians at the time detested, its just not explored for the sense of suspense also If jack in the film knew that the spanish were going to destroy it he just leave black beard

I hated that there's nothing that connects this film to the previous movies, other than the map with the circles, that gets burned in the first act. Calypso was freed, Davy Jones's corrupt rule of the sea doesn't exist anymore, the brethren court of Pirate Lords has disbanded. The world of Piracy should have a massive political battle for power over the seas! Barbossa makes a great protagonist in that setting, and Captain Jack Sparrow always functions best as unpredictable sidekick who goes back and forth between the protagonist and antagonist, always looking out for his own interest: eternal life. I actually think that Syrena and Philip could work, but instead of Philip being taken by Syrena into the mermaid life, it should be the other way around, Philip and Syrena being introduced to Pirate Life, setting them up as characters that could appear in sequels. I think it would actually be beautiful if the "Sailor is being tempted to his Death" plot is inverted to "Mermaid is being tempted to adventurous life".

I like your idea for Scrum replacing Phillip and having a more fatherly protective bond with Syrena. It’s a nice arc for him to have after being so shallow about wanting a mermaid kiss. I also like that you brought Pintel and Ragetti back, but I’d be curious to see how the writers’ original plan to have them separated when Blackbeard captures the Pearl would’ve played out. I’ve imagined a version where Ragetti is actually the one in Phillip’s place since he’s sort of religious anyway, and he just wants to help Syrena escape because he thinks Pintel’s dead and he wants to pay forward all those times when Pintel saved him over the years.

They tried to make the prophecy stuff work by saying the quartermaster sees the future and it just really doesn’t work. How does the quartermaster do this? They try to do that by saying he’s zombiefied but that doesn’t explain anything really

As far as the removal of the Spaniards, I completely agree. I genuinely feel the writers simply stuck in the 4-way standoff at the end to add tension that wasn't earned by actual stakes created for the main characters. Jack, who should be the main focus of the film seeing as Will Turners arc was put on hold, should have actual motives and reasoning for being along on the journey. However, because he's simply a passive bystander the audience begins to ask themselves one simple but devastating question that never should be about a main character: Why are you here? I suppose he becomes captured by Blackbeard, but doesn't show actual concern about this fact. Whereas in "Dead Man tell no Tales" when Jack is essentially just a comedic tool to bring levity but no actual development to the story, Stranger Tides did manage to characterize him well, at least visually. I've always given this film credit for its opening England chase sequence. Jack especially shakes in his chains to get them removed before the king arrives, lays a napkin on the ground, and even grabs a cream puff which seems insignificant, but all makes sense later to tell us what a master strategist Jack is. In any event, great overview, especially with the addition of shortening the cliff-jump sequence. A tight story is often a good one, and this film simply becomes bloated by the end as it doesn't believe it's plot is strong enough, of which it isn't. Thanks and have a good one- Redfish Blue Films

I really thought they were going for a new trilogy with the fourth film as we had Barbossa being the main villain in a single film, Davy Jones as the main villain for a duology and then if they did somehow succeeded in Black beard's character, it could've been a masterful series but of course end it on the sixth. And yes I have to definitely, definitely agree that after seeing the fifth movie and read on what the are planning on the sixth... the fourth was just okay... it wasn't too, too bad-

Jeez dude, it would've been such an opener if we see the Pearl get attacked by the Queen Anne's Revenge. Like we spent the last 3 movies with the pearl for a good amount of time. Literally in each movie, there was a big amount of screen time involving the Pearl, even if she was on the villain side in the first movie. It did kinda suck we just saw her in a bottle, yet at least it wasn't straight up destroyed again. Barbossa's exposition of what happened to him and the Pearl got me really interested and curious.VERY curious. While honestly, it would be a little heartbreaking because just like Jack, I love the Black Pearl and I have a liking when it comes to pirate ships and I adore the fact that Jack considers the Pearl as his prized possession in life, so seeing the Pearl get attacked and what I'm assuming, Blackbeard killing off the familiar crewmembers, like Pintel, Raggeti, and Cotton, it would be hella sad to watch but a much more better opening to the movie IMO.

My biggest gripe is the fact that this movie feels disconnected from the original trilogy; mainly that it doesn't really hold up as a sequel. In the last movie the concept of goals, stakes, and urgency were at full effect. The goal of At World's End is to obtain freedom by killing Jones and Beckett, the stakes are pirates, and essentially freedom, will go extinct, and the urgency is that pirates are being killed left and right incredibly quickly. sacrificing

I would also change how Angelica was treated. It was honestly misogynistic and uncomfortable how she just blindly loved Blackbeard throughout the entire movie even when he showed multiple times that he didn’t care about her. She should really have accepted that at some point in the film and turned against him.

It would be cool if you made up a 6th installment to finish the series because we most likely wont get that

Perfect video, best I’ve seen as far as anything that goes over the entire comparison between the game and the HBO adaptation. Really well-done. Thank you

I liked the Spanish in this film, but I can see why you have to cut them out.

If they’d stuck closer to the actual novel it could’ve been a really good movie.

My take on POTC 4 as a musical adaptation like POTC 5 as a musical. Instead of two acts unlike 5th, but one act show bc I'll put on Disney parks and cruise lines. My take on the story will be like Julius Caesar play retelling with allusion to Rapunzel tale and myth of Theseus. I headcanon that the movie is based on Jack's pov on how he told from his head and my musical concept is based on Angelica and Barbossa's pov on how they actually remember the events happened in the musical.

I don't think that budget of $378 million is very accurate. That news come from Christian Sylt that is a journalist that very often writes fake news of Formula One. If this movie cost really $378 million, how many money Disney get in return?

Great rewrite , although I personally would’ve preferred keeping Phillip in the story

Or better… The series ends with the third one…

The Spanish, whilst having a cool theme, just didn't have the impact they could've. Their presence wasn't present, nor in the film did they have enough impact. They were their, they came, they went and that was it.

Spanish were completely useless in the movie
