I disagree about Barbossa. The biggest saving grace of the 4th film, was finding out halfway through that Barbossa was only using the Royal Navy because they had the adequate resources for him to chase down and eventually kill Blackbeard. His final scene with him back in his old outfit along with his natural personality, is a great pay-off. Now in 5, the movie implies that Barbossa has decided that he actually somewhat enjoyed playing "good", and has gone back to wearing and acting like something resembling a commissioned officer. His softened personality and outward appearance only made him come across as weak and unrecognisable from earlier films. The movie didn't have to go to these lengths just to prove that the guy has newfound feelings.

The thing that annoyed me the most during the movie is how underused the _Flying Dutchman_ was. It only served as the plot for Henry's determination. Keep in mind, it was a ship used for *ferrying the dead to the afterlife.* Salazar and his crew are undead, meaning that the _Dutchman_ had to get involved somehow. But nope, it wasn't. Such a waste of potential. Also, imagine how awesome a battle with the _Flying Dutchman_ and the _Black Pearl_ against the _Silent Mary_ would be!

There is so much wrong with this movie. There is the very uncharacteristic Jack Sparrow, the complete unlogical plot in regards to the previous movies, the changing of prior plot (like Jack getting the compass from Calypso and not from a random sailor) and so much more. At least the bank heist was funny

I feel like Johnny Depp was completely hammered throughout this movie. He slurs all his lines and I hear stories about how he turned up late to set, smelling of booze. It was no secret that he was an alcoholic (after putting up with Amber Heard, I can’t blame him) and it shows here.

I think no one will disagree with it

All I want in this movie is THE REAL JACK SPARROW

8:53 it has been revealed by Johnny himself (while on the stand during the Amber case) that he did not get to write for Jack in this movie, like he did for 1-4. Explains a lot. No one knows the character better than he, and he hardly had any say for Jack in this film. And look what we got. So sad :(

What annoys me about the retcon with Jack’s compass is that it didn’t need to happen. Just make it so he already secretly had this magic device that he never really got to use before because of his low rank on the crew, then after Salazar kills Jack’s captain, Jack finally gets to use that compass properly. As the scene is, it just feels like the movie came down with a case of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and pointlessly felt the need to show the origin of the main character’s every component.

tbh the fourth one isnt that bad because at the end of the 3rd movie, jack had ripped out the chart and was planning to look for the fountain of youth, but i can understand why it felt left without context because they introduced a bunch of characters out of thin air. i think that to even INCLUDE the fourth one, they shouldve at least changed the end of the 3rd one a bit, introduce the characters in it and modify the fourth movie so that the audience would properly know who angelica is, not just some random girl that appeared in the movie.

This was the first pirates movie I got to see in cinema, and as a major fan, I was HEAVILY disappointed. Besides Jack, this was the thing that annoyed me most of all; -The wicked wench was never a pirate ship. Jack captained it for the company under the command of Lord Cutler Beckett. After disobeying Beckett's orders, and setting free the 'cargo' i.e. African slaves. Jack gets imprisoned and the Wench gets set on fire. Jack escapes and tries to save the ship in a desperate attempt. Jack goes down with his ship and calls upon Davy Jones to save him and the ship which he renames 'The Black Pearl'. Jack then strikes the 13 year deal with Davy Jones. This is literally the most important piece of backstory for films 2 & 3 and can be found in a canon novel 'The price of freedom' released by DISNEY.

I always felt like the story would almost have been better if Henry remained an eleven, twelve year old boy who found Jack after stowing away on ships and being resourceful, and Jack initially decided to at the very least see this little inconvinience home safely as a favor to Elizabeth, until he produced some kind of clue that persauded Jack that all right, so maybe the trident of Poseidon aren't all myth; so he tells Gibbs to "hide the rum" and tells the lad with the exaggerated grin that you know what, boy, we might be able to help your father after all, as they were going to take a detour. Shenanigans ensue. Just the idea of a Jack Sparrow transitioning from something akin to a reluctant babysitter to a funny uncle for twelve year old Henry as Will and Elizabeth's son grows on him sounds really wholesome to me, as Henry proves to be quick-witted and resourceful, and might use the fact that he is a child to get into a place no adult civilian, let alone pirate, could simply walk through the door by claiming one of the red-coats guarding it was his father, and steal something Jack needs. Sort of like when Mullroy and Murtogg starts bickering, and Jack looks from one to the other with a "oh my god, these two..." look, only this time it is Henry who looks between Jack and Gibbs as they quibble about the best way to get inside this area, and though they freak out a bit when they find Henry gone, once he shows up again, with what Jack needs for the journey, Jack can acknowledge his wit and take him on as a cabin boy for the remainder of the voyage, and stops walking on eggshells around him because he is capable, and not simply little "Will's boy" or "Elizabeth's son".

it was not Johnny's fault. he said himself on the trial that script was terrible written and he had to do a lot of re-writing...

THERE ARE ONLY 3 PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIES ! THE 4TH ONE IS A NICE ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION, OKAY ?

I hated the last couple films because the absence of penti and ragetti characters. These two alone offered so much comedic relief, which was the one of the reasons why pirates of the Caribbean became so watchable.

The acting from Johnny in this movie was great for what they were going for, but what they were going for was shit.

1)Extraordinary magical events,topics etc. have become so absurd 2) Makeup and costumes spoiled the seriousness. 3) Action scenes became too childish. 4) Bad CGI / Color harmony

Have you guys noticed that 4&5 have the least sword play scenes that involve jack sparrow? It feels like jack becomes a secondary character in his own movies

This was legitimately my least favorite movie of all time - truly the biggest work of utter crap I had ever seen in a cinema. (AND I saw it on my birthday to make things worse). I was so exited to see this one, and it just left me feeling so empty. The first three Pirates films were the biggest part of my childhood - they literally shaped most of my personality and went on to be some of my favorite movies - ever. This video perfectly encapsulates some of the biggest gripes I had. Every facet of this movie got things so utterly wrong that I can't help but hate it.. obviously there are some movies worse than this one out there - but this will remain my all time most hated movie till the bloody sun burns out. Thanks for the vid :)

In my opinion barbossa was always a better and fun to watch character compared to jack so i didn’t mind this film.

Gosh I was such a huge fan too. I don't think it was just Jack. You are right about the other characters just being a step up but everything just felt to meh, regardless of Jack being who he is or not. This movie broke the continuity both within itself and within the entire franchise as a whole, not only with the compass but the wicked wench, the Brethren court, and the love story between William Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Okay, so Turner is cursed now. Forget that he is supposed to be the Foyle of Davy Jones because his love actually worked out with Elizabeth. So what about Henry? I just didn't feel the same fire from Henry like what will had for his father bootstrap bill, throughout the movie, although both five and two had equally as emotional scenes between the Fathers and Sons establishing the race to set the fathers free. Carina Smith's story is a very interesting story that they could have done so much with, but it just boiled down to "oh my gosh she's a witch because women can't be smart", which plays into the other issue of the side characters being too bland or generic mwahahaha villains. There just wasn't the same passion with the extras and Side characters as it was in the previous movies where everything felt visceral and real. I mean, apart from the fact that we'll probably never get entire Crews to build entire warehouses of designs to film an epic battle in a maelstrom, or asking a bunch of diverse ethnic people from around the world to film a scene in a cannibal island or an army from Spain or a fight sequence in Singapore ever again. You cannot expect me to believe the extras and side characters, when you have an actual real witch, who blatantly tells you that carina isn't a witch, and they just blow her off even though they look nothing alike. Yes, people were ignorant back then, but were they really that ignorant? Or is there some kind of message that the writers and directors were trying to tell? I guess that's just it. If there was another issue than Jack Sparrow, it would be the massive continuity errors and the fact that everything in this movie is just amazing potential that goes nowhere and is wasted due to poor writing and lack of passion. I mean, just look at how they treat their Supernatural macguffins ! Barbosa has the freaking sword of Triton , but seems to have forgotten about it until he needs to bring the Pearl back conveniently. And who knows what happened to the Queen Anne's Revenge, a ship with plenty of broadside and cannons that can spit fire that burns underwater. And nobody has the same kind of reverence for the Black Pearl apart from a few people cheering that she's back. This is the ship that took on the Flying Dutchman, and joined her to destroy the Endeavor. This is the ship that struck fear for 10 years and earned its reputation as a Supernatural ghost ship, so much so that Blackbeard kept it as one of his prized possessions. And she's just use as a cheap convenient tool for a Epic ship race, in which she already lost to a battleship and a dinghy. They put so much effort with the symbolisms of each of their vessels in the previous films. Like how the Black Pearl is a symbol of freedom and Speedy flight, while the Flying Dutchman and subsequently the Queen Anne's Revenge are symbolisms of bondage through death and / or fear. And what about Gibbs? Are we forgetting that he literally has a supernatural map memorized in his head? Yet like every other side character and extra, he is just as oblivious to how on Earth they are going to be able to find some mysterious island with the Trident, which no one else can find after everything he has been through and knowing what is inside his head. All of this turned me off from the franchise because I know now that they are running out of ideas because of how much they wasted with this fifth movie, and it's very unlikely that we'll have the same impactful adventurous experience with any future films like we did with the first three and even 4

People are trying to get Johnny depp back into the pirates movies, but I think it’s for the best that Johnny stays away this time, even when they offer his job back. Cause 4 and 5 did not go well, and a sixth movie would not go well and would just drag the good name Johnny depp, and the troublemaker with a heart of gold captain jack sparrow. Unless the story is actually well written.

Just wait for 6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Captain Barbossa may need glasses

What I fucking hate about this movie is how captain Salazar already didn't escape in the couple first movies because Jack gave up the compass multiple times in the past movies meaning Salazar would have been out the devils triangle years before

Barbosa has always been my favourite parts of the films.

Love that u brought up the fact that Tia Dalma was the one who gave him the compass. I like that in the first four ppl only mention Jacks past in passing leaving room for imagination.

you forgot to mention how they literally changed the story about how Sparrow got the pearl/wicked wench. he received it from beckett actually, and then kind off didn't obey him. he didn't get it because it already was a pirate vessel and the previous captain died during a battle.

I think they wrote jack so unfavorably intentionally. When the movies have years between them, leaving a distaste in our mouths with jack makes it easier for them to get rid of him

Tbh 4 was the kinda last one that followed the full franchise plot and the 5th one was just a movie to make money and that’s it had no real interest

This movie was hurtful to watch

If there is a 6th movie. It needs to be about the sea of thieves. Since that's cannon apparently

I liked Pirates 5 just as much as the others before it. You said Jack's character was butchered, but I don't agree. To me, it feels normal for his character to change over time, as is normal with a human being. And the way his character has changed makes sense, given that he was supposedly a heavily drinking pirate, and you cannot expect his brain to remain the same over the years, given this and his life experiences. You should not expect a character to remain linear in the course of more than a decade. It's like expecting someone to be just the same at 25 and at 45. It doesn't make sense. So therefore, I believe the change in Jack's character is normal. Also, Salazar's character was very good in my opinion. Henry's was pretty decent. Barbossa was excellent indeed, but his character has evolved as well, as was expected to happen over the course of the years. There's much more to add here but I'll leave it at that. I personally enjoyed the 5th movie just as much as the others. Maybe a bit more than the 4th, because of the story and the characters. I liked Salazar more than Blackbeard.

Davey Jones: Graaaaah 😡🐙 Jack: AAAAAGH! 😧

I actually liked the first 4 films, the 4th film at least feels like a Pirates of The Caribbean movie, and I don't like any of the characters in the 5th film

Yeah Salazar's design is spectacular....if Davy Jones didn't exist that is

Black pearl is one of the best adventure films to me. Dead man’s chest is really stuffed but I think the Davy Jones ploy that is the main plot is brilliant. At worlds ends first and last act are great but second act is a slog On stranger tides is weird to me. I don’t think it’s a good movie it’s a 4/10 but I always seem to watch it the most? I dunno why I always have fun with it tho. If you just want a fun movie night to stuff popcorn in ur Face ID say it’s good for that. One underrated thing abt that film is the music the music is the best in the franchise if u don’t believe me listen to the soundtrack you’ll see what I mean

Most of the ‘good’ stuff appeared in the trailers, that’s when you know the studio thought it was a stinker.

We can blame Disney for such a terrible story. They even alternated how Jack obtained his compass.

This movie makes On Stranger Tides look like a good movie in comparison.

If memory serves me right Tia Dalma gave Jack the compass, how come they changed that now

I don't care I grew up with these movies and I enjoy every single one of them they were all great

This movie would've been exponentially better if Jack wasn't Captain Drunk Sparrow

For a small KZfaqr who doesn't get many views this is an absolutely brilliant video, editing is top top notch was watching and thought u had 200k+ subs keep the content like this coming bro one will pop of trust, pirates lotr hunger games all that stuff cooks for views.

Ngl I didn't really like the twist that Karina was Barbosa's daughter It felt so random and out of the blue

Barbossa's development doesn't make any sense. In the 1st film he's REALLY violent, mainly towards Elizabeth. At the end of DMC, he magically reapears to save the day. And somehow he's now cooperating with people who were his enemies before his death? Ok lmao... Then obviously he doesn't become friends with Jack and sails away with the Pearl. Why does Jack's crew betray him btw? Whatever. Then in OST, he becomes quite cruel again, letting the royal navy's get sunk by the mermaids for example. My problem with Barbossa as a captain in general is that while he is a great leader, he doesn't give 2 fcks about his crew members, so it doesn't make sense to me that someone is loyal to him at all. In the 5th film this happens again - he lets the dead absolutely slaughter his crew... But on the other hand he kinda becomes good, saves Jack and shows love towards his long lost daughter and sacrifices himself for her... Seriously Barbossa's development makes ZERO sense :((( *also at the end of AWE, how is it that Jack lets Barbossa sail away with the Pearl😭😭😭 that's SO frustrating i hate it

Lol- such a great breakdown of the movie, the part where you scream about signing the petition made me literally lol…and yes…I did sign ;). Well done. New sub. Keep ‘‘em coming.

I hated this movie because it commits the ultimate sins of being boring. Sure, it has funny scenes, but that doesn't save the movie. Barbossa and Jack and Gibs were really the only characters to come out of it okay. It's not like there wasn't a ton of problems, but I would argue the worse part of the movie was seeing Johnny Depp being destroyed by Amber Heard on the film. Like, you can so see his personal issues right there on the screen. Depressing really.

I feel and agree with every cursing, every heavy grunts of this man. Truly detailed analysis

For me, this movie has some really good IDEAS, but the fact that whole thing hinges on a RETCON is what really kills it…just have Salazar be released organically, remove any connection to the compass, and fix Jack’s writing at LEAST, and you’ve got a movie that should be at least DECENT

There is only one thing that I believe would warrant a Pirates of the Caribbean 6 - The death of Captain Jack Sparrow. He needs to die and not come back. Obviously, he has to be given the proper send-off. He needs to die with honour and he needs to have a good reason to die via sacrificing himself or something. He also needs to sink with his beloved Black Pearl. Jack can go out in the way he would want and he will achieve the immortality he always wanted - the immortality of a legend.

If only there was the sixth one

Um no Corina is what has stopped me twice from ever completely watching this movie a second time. Trash character and they just destroyed the core of Jack for no reason. Fuck this movie. Terrible plot execution, zero payoff, destroys characters, bland dialogue, felt like some bad filler fanfiction, and poorly rehashes scenarios and tropes. To call the characters better is just ridiculous, but sure I do agree it is the worst.

To me after the Will & Elizabeth storyline wrapped up in 3, I had a hard time being invested in 4 and 5. I’m interested in watching your video and hearing more of your thoughts.

Technically it's not fan service having those two guards be part of Barbosa's crew because they pretended to be part of his crew at the end of Dead Man's Chest

I hope jack sparrow not becoming weak character like Hulk nowadays. Bring back the Real Jack Sparrow and Hulk .

Richie, i am hooked on your channel and this is an A+ video. Thank you.

Honestly, I still enjoy the fifth film a tiny bit more than the fourth. The fourth’s pacing just kills it for me.

29:23 Okay, there are definitely things that don't make sense with the trident, but that is NOT one of them. Yes, both Salazar and Barbossa were cursed to be immortal undead beings, but there was something different when Barbossa was brought back: HE WAS SHOT! The same thing magic-wise happened to both of them, but nothing happened to Salazar.

Even after all these years I'm still extremely disappointed with how they handled the Dead Man Tell No Tales. They absolutely butchered Jack as a character it just felt off-putting compared to the rest. At least part 4 was somewhat a cohesive story but this one is just milking an old cow dry.

Perfect fucking video. Well crafted and really felt your sharing frustration. And my god I hope The Rock does NOT replace Depp in POTC6... (no disrespect to the actor)

Barbossa is my favorite character, he's the best villain in my opinion, And I hate it to see him to die in this film, He should've just stuck with the Aztek Curse.

Hi, this is SUCH a good review!! And so I think you're right, the 6th movie should be the in-between story focusing purely on Jack and his adventures

congrats on 600 subs 🥳

great video, i really enjoyed it🤩

The compass is connected to Salazar because if you betray the compass, it will release your worst fear. For Jack it was Salazar. Pay attention.

11:24 He actually made the deal with Jones for 13 years but I don't need to be picky about details

18:32 the amount of emotion he showed when saying that line

Also, what happened with that post-credit scene in Stranger Tides? We just forget that Angelica could brutally decapitate Jack with a sharp enough stick on the island if she really wanted to. It's like 4 and 5 didn't happen in the same universe. They don't even mention the events of 4 in 5 if I remember properly, and it's just dumb. I never really liked Angelica anyway but still it's a massive plot gap that shouldn't be there. And the post-credit scene in 5 is also incredibly stupid but oh well.

And yet people still want a sequel

Good analysis, I enjoyed it

At 31:14 what was carina doing exact??

I just saw a theory about Jack in this movie, is that he’s dying from dehydration that’s why his character is seemingly more of a clumsy

I paused this at the bit where he said you dont know if hes planned it or making it up as he goes. I have a third option. He knows what he wants, his goal. The means in which he achieves said goal are completely improv. Hes the walking military saying of "plans are useless, but planning is essential."

The only part of this video I disagree with is how you mentioned Jack isn't the best sword fighter. I think he most certainly is the best sword fighter if not tied for first. He was always insanely competent as a fighter. The first movie he was just a bit better than Will (judging by how many swords Will grabs and loses) and is mostly in control when fighting Barbosa. The 2nd movie doesn't have much sword fighting with Jack but he is holding his own during the 3 way fight the whole time and is dominating with a boat oar. The third movie, Jack is dominating Davy Jones (would have killed him twice were it not for the claw hand and immortal) with his sword and a large random wood piece. The fourth movie he was caught off guard seeing Angelica's move but even ground otherwise. Later he doesn't even has to try against Scrum. TLDR Jack is constantly dominating opponents if not matching their skill demonstrating easily being the best sword fighter

This is such a fucking great review I love this man with a shitting passion

I think that the fourth film was actually good. I agree with you I don’t like the fifth film but I think they could’ve taken what they did with the fourth film and expand up on it because I’d like to know what happened to Angelica I know there’s a post credit scene, but I’d like to elaborate more into the character. I thought Angelica was an awesome character, and they could’ve followed up on her sorrows on the sequel to the fourth one, which would’ve been the fifth one, and then they could’ve made a like a new trilogy with a sixth one, but I wouldn’t place any bets on the sixth movie if we’ve seen Hollywood recently, we know the sixth one is gonna suck. Also they’re not going to have Johnny Depp in it either and yeah, you know what I mean.

He traded in his compass cause there nothing he wants. He got the black pearl...... but now he relies wait what does he do afterwards like what treasure left

i’m guessing that the compass was used to make them escape because there is some power linked to the compass using them to get there in the first place. see that was be fine i guess if they didn’t basically rewrite what they did in the 2nd movie. it’s really like they got writters that never watched the pirate movies, or maybe they only watched the 4th one😭😂

4th Pirates of carribean sucked so BAD! I just watched cuz of Johny. BUT IS SUUUUUUUUCKED SO BAD!

The biggest issue, i think, is the pacing. This movie felt like two movies smashed into one. The best part about the franchise is the movies take their time. This movie couldve been great even with the terrible writing for Jack, if the made two movies. It was rushed, there were things that weren't explained because they didnt have time quite honestly, and it all came across as just cheesy, i think, because of it. With more time they couldve had an arch where Jack actually got back to being classic Jack (kind of like character growth). It like the first half of the movie was good, but they just couldn't close it out.

I feel like the Pirates of the Caribbean moves got progressively worse. Don't get me wrong, most of them are good movies/ great even but each is just less good than the last. 1st one was incredible, 2nd one was awesome, 3rd one was great, 4th one was Good, 5th one was just terrible (refuse to acknowledge it as a pirates movie).

modern holywood relyes on cool cgi spectacle too much they dont put the focus on a good movie anymore

I think part of the problems with jack is writers made him more comic relief then before

2:38 well it does explain why just in a terrible way. The idea is the compass will lead you to what you want the most but if you betray it it will lead what you fear the most to you. Now why Salazar got cursed and stuck there, that's never explained.

Would’ve been great to have had the 5th one take place during the War of Jenkins Ear. Perhaps an opening scene during the battle of Cartagena where Sparrow and his crew rob the Spanish and British, then they go to ghost Salazar to get their revenge. Then something about the Trident of Poseidon maguffin can be worked in somehow. Also keep Phillip Swift, the mermaid and Angelica. Still introduce Carina. Bish bash bosh, you got an ok 5th film in the franchise.

4&5 are both trash. 5 is Sharknado levels of poor filmmaking and acting.

Great video, deserves more views

Jack was done so wrong in alot of ways! He gave his heart to the black pearl and was gonna hurt Barbossa when he lost it and then he just doesn't care? Here's what they should have done, Have Jack actively trying to get the black pearl back!

I'm just like the ending,jack got the black pearl,will and Elizabeth Can be together

There's a lot of true pirates of the caribbean fans here that have already pointed all the errors and inconsistencies about this movie but I want to add something. Salazar is a SPANISH captain sailing and hunting pirates for the kingdom of SPAIN, but his ship has an english name "silent mary" instead of a SPANISH name, because you know, maybe the spanish want their ship to have SPANISH name instead of english names idk....

late af but to me, it has the vibe of a c-tier movie with the visuals and stars of an a-tier movie.

Wait until the next one, where there is apparently gonna be no Jack Sparrow.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I want a prequel trilogy. Dead man proves that de aging technology is up to standard now. Forgetting the fuck ups to cannon that the 5th made we have a ton that they could explore. Jack as a merchant sailing for Beckett, jacks betrayal of becket and becket setting fire and sinking his ship (the pearl before it was the pearl). His deal with Davy johns. How Gibbs went from a navy sailor to become jacks 1st mate. Jack learning about the cursed gold and the events leading up to the mutiny. Jack getting his compass. Some more back story for Davy johns and Calypso including the binding at the courts. There’s tons more they can add. I agree, I don’t want anymore sequels but some prequels would be amazing.

Gonna have to update this video in a few months to a year when 6 comes out. People will wish for this one again.

wen barbosa threw the perl in the sea and it sunk jack shuld have A: dived in the water after it or B:drawn his sword to kill barbosa there and then wat he dose "it was a fine ship"

I rewatched the whole franchise and started on 5th probably not watching it for 5 years again. I realised I didnt even remember characters like that Witch, because like you mentioned it 5th movie gave "nothing of value" so there was nothing to remember to compare to first 4 movies.

yes i agree with u you for jack that he is very defferent in the last film but i say that the only reason we keep watching pirates even at lest film is because johnny depp so he is the reason that the films are going well and the films are not going well to make u understand what i mean i mean that if we had watch the first movie without johnny it would be different but johnny performed excelent so thats why we dont want to stop seeing johnny at the films so if johnny werent there that would mean that the last film would be worse

The only thing i remembered about this movie was that they wasted an entire scene for an unfunny joke about jack being forced to marry an ugly woman. That scene had nothing to do with the rest of the plot and was so despereately forced in there just to have this ugly woman joke, that it ruined the entire flow of the movie for me.

Its also called salzazars revenge where i live

The character slaughter in the writing of jack's lines throughout the movie is insane. He twice..not ones but twice has the line "...am a bed wetter" and in none of the instances is it funny...like at all. Depp did an excellent job, even being able to bring some glimpse of the jack we know, with this bad of a writing to work out off. Every carahter is butchered by lasy and dumb writing fr

I love the fourth one 😭 Why yall hating it sm
