I still maintain that Captain Jack Sparrow‘s entrance, where he steps off the sinking ship onto the jetty in the first film, is one of the best ever.
Next up - Robots in disguise (What? She’s seven).
There's 5? I stopped at 3 thinking I only missed out on one film.
shareI still really love the first one. Haven't seen the most recent. Was it decent?
shareI love Pirates of the Caribbean. The first one is just about perfect. 2 and 3 have some flaws but are generally pretty great. 4 was just ok, fairly good in some ways. I didn't like 5 at all, it doesn't even feel like the same series to me.
shareI quite liked 5.
shareTo each their own. Just in my opinion, the spirit of the movie felt very different from all the others, like its energy was spent. Jack Sparrow didn't feel like Jack Sparrow anymore, I almost got the impression Depp didn't even want to be there. Some of the other actors gave the same impression. And there were some serious inconsistencies with the rest of the series, which made it feel like the writers didn't even care about the movie. I think it had the potential to be a good movie but it just fell short. Again, in my opinion.
shareThe first three hold together well as a continuing adventure, but I guess consistency points have to be given for getting through the next couple.
Spoiler alert for Robots in disguise: I bet the favorite of the bunch will be either the 1986 animated film or Bumblebee.
I will let you all know.
shareYeah it was pretty cool wasn't it. Glad she enjoyed it..
shareThanks - we've watched hundreds of films together.
shareThat’s awesome! I’ve been watching movies with my 7-year-old too. Haven’t showed her the Pirates movies yet, but those are good ones!
So far she loves Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Free Willy, Homeward Bound, Jumanji, ET, and the Miyazaki films.
