Geoffrey Rush’s Barbossa on the other hand is a properly sweet and sinister villain, just as much of a scoundrel and as watchable as Depp. Even though their characters only get less identifiable as the trilogy wears on, Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner and Keira Knightly’s Elizabeth Swan were still the boring center of a much more interesting story from the start. Many of the film’s special effects have not stood the test of time and the lack of budget is very noticeable in the way the film reuses the same set for both the second and final act. No, this isn’t automatically at the top – while Johnny Depp’s iconic role was arguably the most classic and appealing in the first Pirates, it would take quite the pair of nostalgia goggles to say with any certainty that the rest of the film deserves a similar reputation.

In wrapping up an epic trilogy, it’s quite a clunky closing – but since we’ve seen where the series has gone sans Verbinski, At World’s End has a surprising amount to admire within its near 3-hour runtime in retrospect. Continuing the more fantastical elements of Dead Man’s Chest thankfully means the riskier creative choices come in further frequency, but at such a monstrous length the best moments are muddled in story fat that confuses all the film’s conflicts and drama. Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossia tripped themselves up in their own sprawling web of characters and endless slew of backstabbings and betrayals.Īt World’s End becomes nigh incomprehensible as we’re left responsible of keeping track of the separately selfish motives of Jack, Beckett, Will, Barbossa and Feng, not to mention Davy Jones. But the addition of Chow Yun-Fat’s Sao Feng to an already extensive cast tips the scales to pure excess and convolution. The Brethren Court and the ensuing epic finale are wildly entertaining passages, particularly in the maelstrom climax. The Davy Jones locker sequence is superbly strange and surprisingly surreal for a mainstream release. The most underrated Pirates film – and the most expensive film ever at the time of release – is still a severely cluttered one, though there are high highs offsetting many a misstep. As a fairly wretched sequel altogether, there should be no further tales after this. The very familiar concoction of ghost pirates led by Javier Bardem make for somewhat memorable villains and the set pieces are back to Verbinski’s level of cartoonish delirium, but it’s all executed with about half the inspiration.

With completely shoehorned cameos by Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly, the movie tries desperately to make you care about anything onscreen by including the son of Will and Elizabeth (Brenton Thwaites) and the daughter of Barbossa (Kaya Scodelario) as surrogates for their fictitious forebears. Dead Men Tell No Talesīarely a lick above the series’ worst, the fifth and hopefully final film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is an exhaustingly insignificant entry and overcompensating proof that the series should have been left as a trilogy.

The fourth and most superfluous Pirates film attempts to echo the tone of the first film in its scaled back runtime and simplicity, but there’s nothing remotely diverting about the most dull and utterly forgettable film of the franchise. Padded with lifeless action sequences and scarcely supported by its paltry collection of characters, On Stranger Tides foolishly placed Jack Sparrow at the center of everything.
