Beckett is such an underrated villain. In a world of pirates, curses and magic he, a normal human, was able to control Davy Jones, kill the Kraken and nearly wipe out the pirates for good.
But it didn’t make any sense, mainly the fact he was able to control Davy.
@@ComedyBros5 he had the chest
@@ComedyBros5It did make sense. He's smart and resourceful, simple as that.
I do find him scarier in DMC than in AWE, but people saying he is a shit villain because "he's not scary at all" makes me want to roll my eyes back into my skull. The unbelievable power he holds alone makes my skin crawl, and he can get away with next to anything (murdering the Governor etc). "How can this little guy be frightening when Davy Jones is right there?" THAT'S THE POINT!!!
@@peachgo3he’s a slimy bureaucrat who holds the cards through manipulation. I have encountered people like him in my life and that’s what makes him a good villain
*Davy Jones’s CGI* has never been topped - not even Avatar - has been able to capture something as real as that Squid Man felt
What about jack sparrow being cgi
I think you dont realize how much stuff today is CGI and you dont even realize it. But he surely is the best CGI of a abstract, non human being there is
@@alexties6933nah, it's definitely atleast top 5 best CGI of all time, human or non human
Except by Transformers
Avatar would like to have words
I like that Jack's story in the trilogy ended the way it started: on the small boat, no crew, no ship, but he's still excited for the new adventures.
It’s why I believe he would have never stabbed the heart, even after Davy Jones kills his friend he doesn’t do it. Jack does not want to live forever but rather Captain Jack Sparrow wants adventure, rum, and women. He wants to experience as much of the world and life as possible. It’s why he does insane feats despite the risks, why he insists on going out to sea and risking his life despite the danger. It’s what makes him so unpredictable too, he fears for his life but is willing to risk it all, he wants treasure and fame but rarely does he keep it, and he wants to live forever but every chance he gets he throws it away to save the life of someone else.
No wonder no one can predict him, he is constant contradictions with a touch of madness and endless thirst for more. He is true Chaotic Neutral. On no side with his own rules, yet constantly changing and breaking them on a whim.
I haven't realized until now how much "leverage" is essential to the Pirates trilogy.
Jack summed it up so well. "All one needs is the proper leverage."
And only now did I realize that the reccuring bit of opening cell doors with leverage has been a metaphor this whole time. :O
Do you mean "now"?
@@luizgoerck_ Indeed I do. I can't spell it seems.
Well, Jack just kind of caught on Will's turn of phrase when he set Jack free. The movie series likes to quote itself, hammering home the points in a way that doesn't feel cheap.
I would say i had not thought on it as who has the leverage, but i understood that someone always has more powerstatus, somekind of information, a weapon or some other thing over the other (in this univers of the three at the time)
Like who is standing right infront of the pistol and who is holding the pistol.
So i saw it as a character/person dinamic from the get go rather than leverage, like you understand its the goverment on the bigger picture but in detail becket is prosuing the pirates to optain the oppetunity for more power over the seas (secure the money rutes), money for his bussines and getting rit of an opstical/nuisance in his way.
Where jack is standing in the way of becket with jack wanting freedom (to sail the world and eksplore its hidden wonders) to not answere to the norms of the goverment/crown (like bringing in the slaves he freeid, since to others they where just cargo, but to him is people)
Those two have different arsenal of cards to play, so in a sense you could say people always has different cards to play compared to others, you just have to play them at the right time and place.
(Saw the 3th film when i was 11, and even then i saw the leverage the characters has over each other, with its not who is the strongest, or has physical avantech over the other, but more about who has the ace over the other)
I mean why else would Jack's motto be "take what you can and give nothing back"
He's always on top because he's a master at leveraging
"...the darkest enemy the world has ever seen...THE GOVERNMENT!"
That got me good.
Real world fact tho
@@aoikaze416 The fucking IRS brought down AL Capone's entire operation...they'll come at you harder for owing money than killing people lol.
Even the Joker didn't screw with the IRS...
One pieceeeeeeeee
Im still being hunted by the IRS for not paying my taxes and instead on legos
The Pirates trilogy is libertarian as fuck when you think of it
Beckett might be a forgetful character due to his normalcy in a place of magic, but his death scene is embedded into the minds of anyone who watched the movie. That's just pure perfection.
It's just... good business.
Its a meme perfection
Beckett is definitely that character upon rewatches you see him and go…”ah shit this prick is at it again”.
definitely! Only saw it once but that scene has lurked in the back of my mind!
With respect, I believe you meant to say forgettable, not forgetful.
My sister pointed out to me that the Beckets death scene presented him as the anti Jack. Where Jack is always down on his luck but turns it around, Becket is always in control. During his death scene he is, for the first time, does not have the upper hand and just gives up. If Jack was in that scenario he would not have given up that easily.
Pirates was blockbuster filmmaking at its finest. Real sets, high quality CGI, solid stories with amazing characters and comedy that isn't forced or gets stale after one/ two viewing.
Our last true example of an epic blockbuster trilogy.
@@ComedyBros5 Agreed.
I don't understand why Disney is so bad now considering these movies belong to them. They have a great formula here regarding character development and interaction. On the subject of women in film, Elizabeth Swann is a great female character so it's puzzling that their future women have been so shallow with few exceptions.
@@philippschwarz4539 I think they just stopped caring moved to point it has to filmed, and told in the certain way that goes against how Pirates was made in the 2000s. It's sad but i'm glad we got these three films.
@@filmreviewer117 It's not that they just stopped caring, they got complacent because their franchises were printing money. They care enough to put in the effort to keep the money printer going but not elevating what they were sending out. If Disney could stop just thinking about their shareholders and bottom lines and focused on the effort to making great movies again they would come out of the slump. (And I am a huge Disney stan saying this). What the company needs again is a Eisner/Wells duo to bring another Disney Decade because its been shown the best times of the company were when there was a duo Walt and Roy and Eisner and Wells. The dreamer and the realist to temper and bring the dreams to reality.
Elizabeth's character arc peaked and is one of the best parts of the film: she went from a scared but passionate governor's daughter to a pirate king who inspires the clearly outnumbered pirates against the entire EITC fleet
See, I found her to be the worst part of the film. Cringe through and through.
@@Dravianpn02care to explain? Or are you baiting an argument
@@lyven9872 why would it be bait? The same people who loved her role in AWE, I find hard to believe don't enjoy Marvel phase 4. Elizabeth didn't earn that title, she has 0 on screen charisma. That whole segment comes off so unbelievably inorganic it takes me out of the film. Especially when the other pirates get hyped about it? Nah. And before it's said "you just don't like women" or blah blah, I reference you to Lady snowblood, Ripley, Beatrix Kiddo, Pam Grier, All About Eve and really any classic noir, Detour(original) and so on.
@@Dravianpn02 you just proved yourself as complete bait and a woman hater saying "don't enjoy Marvel phase 4" have a great day, woman hater, and may you actually talk and respect women you meet in real life instead of just being a creep at your parent's basement
@@Dravianpn02 brother all of those women are in action roles. Elizabeth is much more fleshed out and isn't bound to simply fighting. Given those actresses you listed are absolutely amazing, there's more than gun play or sword play that makes a good character good.
We should appreciate how, every now and then, Filmento just decides to remind us just how great the original POTC trilogy was.
Pirates peaked with Dead Man's Chest, but At World's End was, in the very definition of the word: *Epic.* an Epic movie to wrap-up an incredible trilogy (we don't talk about "the rest").
No, it was unecessary fan baiting borefest.
@@Thesavagesouls How?
I liked the spanish 😊
At Stranger Tides is a great standalone adventure. DMTNT(5) is absolutely soulless and terrible, but idk why people don't like the 4th one.
True. At World’s End is an epic movie. I quite like it
Your Pirates of the Caribbean videos are what first brought me to your channel and they still remain my favorite part. I've even used some of them when explaining plot structure to people. The first two sequels are so underrated and you are the only person I can find on CZcams defending them for what they are. Thank you for that.
hahaha using pirates as a good example of plot structure is hilarious, those people were left stupider after listening to that.
Any reason why ?@@numberonedad
There are a lot.
The reason you can’t find many, is because the sequels have many pacing issues, and the leverage games grow old.
To act like the writing is excellent, is just biased viewing, not unlike I see with the Star Wars channels acting like the prequels were these near flawless movies, and just ignore everything that is terrible.
I still can enjoy the videos, as the things he’s saying is it’s just a better blockbuster, than most we get now. He’s not saying Dead Man’s Chest is a classic.
@@CorbCorbin i agree that the rehabbing of the prequels is equally hilarious, especially when it comes to anakin's acting and george's plotting.
@@CorbCorbin Yes that's what he says
At World's End - an amazing finale to an amazing trilogy
Ehhh I think it could’ve been perfect had it not revealed Davy to just be a puppet.
@@ComedyBros5He wasn't a puppet until someone got a hold of the heart. He also wasn't a puppet for that long. If Jack hadn't killed him, he probably would've done to Beckett what he did to Mercer.
@@ComedyBros5Davy Jones being used by others is essential to the theme of the movie, just as the Kraken dying is.
@@ComedyBros5 Bro didn't watch Filmento's video 😂
I'd have liked Calypso to play a better role, myself - or at least claim Jones at his death.
But yeah, otherwise, for the most part - an epic, film.@@thelastcrow5660
I always re-watch the PotC trilogy every year.
I feel it's still the best Disney blockbuster.
Purely epicness.
Back when I was young it was atleast every month, I didn't know why, I just knew it was EPIC, it was more, it was something truly special.
Favorite character???
@@stephenthedude4383Jack the monkey 🙉
The 5th one was also good
Although many things didn't match with the previous ones. But it was good.
4th one was boring for me
Davy Jones is not only a cgi powerhouse but also a character absolute unit
For a franchise that based on amusement park and released by Disney, the memorability of the film is insane... Indicating how good the first 3 films are
I always love your Pirates of the Caribbean videos. They made me realize just why the younger me loved the movies so much and helped the now me appreciate just how incredible they are.
Future you, will smack some sense into you later.
and the games!
At World's End was truly underappreciated when it came out. I just rewatched it recently and my first thought was "damn, they don't make'em like they used to anymore"
The marriage scene is one of my favorites in all of cinema.
"the darkest enemy the world has ever seen: The Government" 😂😂
Luffy be like
Back when Disney was more willing to take risks
💯💯. 2007 was a good year for Disney
Everything has the same coat a paint nowadays
@@chasehedges6775 Disney had consistently released good movies every year before 2019, it's only lately that all their movies suck
Back then even when Hollywood was good
@@brianabalos4878Hollywood is still good. You just gotta stop watching just blockbusters
Davy Jones CGI is over a decade old, and still looks exceptionally better than anything in any recent MCU movie. An impressive feat.
Not to mention peoples motivations change. Liz first wants to rescue jack then she wants to avenge her father/kill Beckett.
Jack wants to be free of Jones then he wants/considers to become the captain of the Dutch man.
They are all dynamic and resourcefull - not quirky one-note jokesters.
Been getting awkward looks for years when I told people that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (the main trilogy) are in my opinion some of the best movies of all time. I glad to see that more and more people are praising these movies, it was long overdue!
Makes you wonder what movies those people consider to be some of the best. I love the trilogy since I was a kid
Calling these movies some of the best of all time has to be the most hyperbolic praise I've ever seen for a movie like this. I can only conclude that you need to watch more movies.
@@Guitar994 Watch more movies. There's a lot of much, much better and more sophisticated film making out there than Pirates of the Caribbean. Love it all you want, they're a part of your childhood and that's fine, but they're not even remotely close to being in any kind of conversation about best movies of all time.
@@MarkHogan994 @MarkHogan994 I agree there are a lot of great mocies out there that I love (the sixth sense, the Shawshank redemption, green mile...) But for me it's the pot series that i like to come back to because of it's atmosphere emphasized by powerful score. I'm not an expert to tell whether a movie is good or not and maybe you're right the series is not to be some of the best, I only know when the story is interesting and worthy of attention. The modern interpretations of the ancient dark sea legends that i love told in a story of adventures and freedom. Or at least thats how I see the movies. With interesting plot and characters and a doze of humor. And I'm still curious about the movies you consider some of the best (not being sarcastic or rude) maybe i haven't seen them yet and would like to change that since i often strugle to find a movie worth watching
@@Guitar994 do you mean the Sixth Sense? Or the Fifth Element? =D
The scene where they point their guns at each other and Jack electing Liz as the Pirate King is just pure perfection!
Can we just give my man, Commodore Norrington a moment please. Like he was the last person I except to return, and when he died, I felt like they did him dirty. Bro lost his job, his heart, and his respect because of a pirate.
“Leverage, says you? I think I feel a change in the wind, says I.” -Joshamee Gibbs
0:25 That opening synopsis was amazing. I haven't laughed that hard in a good minute.
Filmento is a meme master
@@LuisSierra42 youre so right 🤣
The reason why Beckett didn’t fire the cannons is because he uses dialogue to control to get what he wants out of people. If he used weapons, it would be out of his character. He had nothing to bargain with so he excepted his fate. 🙂
What I like so much about this movie is that it shows how far the characters have come. So many movies out there have great character progression, only for the sequel to reset that progression for some bullshit reason and redo the journey from the first one again. Here, the characters who used to be nobodies who didn't know how the world worked are now absolute professionals and constantly stab each other in the back, just like they learned it from the characters which were already experienced in the first movie.
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the best trilogies ever made, for me it's in the same echelon as Back to the Future or The Lord of the Rings. It's just that good.
Glad this trilogy is finally getting the love and respect it deserves. Somehow it's underrated.
Man, when you called Norrington a simp, I laughed so hard XD I mean, it's true but U don't have to do him dirty like that 🤣
I'm still amazed by the CGI
As a kid this was my favourite part of the trilogy. Back than I looked very differently at movies, because my young brain couldn't process whole movies, only individual scenes and the third movie is just packed with legendary scenes.
I rewatch the trilogy every year and although I see it's flaws now I still enjoy them and discover new values in them.
These pirates movies are a perfect example of people being ahead of the curve, and people we're too stupid to realise it, until too late. Once again great video my movie connoisseur pal! No?
ah yes jack and barbossa the most fire trope in history "hero and villain work together to fight a bigger evil"
Pirates ran so Marvel could drunkenly stumble into a hedge
The thing that I love about the first three series is how the scheming and piracy be going on, fourth has that too, the trilogy is just gold. First movie is the best among them, followed by the second to the third, and I still can't believe how good the octopus CGIs and the movies overall still holds up today.
The perfect trilogy. It really is. I've loved this trilogy ever since I saw the first 10 minutes of the first movie. It's absolutely a massive credit to the writers that they weaved such an amazing tale and stories across 3 feature films from inspiration taken from a ride at an amusement park. Certainly they pulled from other elements as well, there's fingerprints from many cultures and myths all throughout, but it started because of a goddamn ride. But when they created this amazing world filled with believable characters, despite the supernatural elements, they also created a massive pitfall they would need to avoid. It's incredibly easy to lose sight of what made the first 3 films so epic and all time greats...particularly when it's the studio itself demanding a new film be rushed out as fast as possible without waiting for the passionate writers to pen a new tale. Then you end up with a decrease in quality, that said I still love the 4th movie. The 5th has some good parts, but overall it's just bad. They lost sight of what made the franchise so loved and took shortcuts and made extremely bad decisions...and those that made those decisions actually had no input in the first 3, which is why they were great, because they were focused on the vision of the writers who were invested in telling good and fun stories...instead of focused on shelling the fields of the cinema battleground with rushed munitions designed to be subpar and ineffective overall but served the purpose of buying a little time, or in this case money AND time, they knew the films would do well because of the history...and they needed to release them quickly (time) in order to accrue finances for their own personal hobbyhorse movies filled with bad writing and preachy nonsense. They intentionally ruined the franchises just to make a quick buck.
As a child, I loved the pirate court, you must remember this movie was for younger people too.
This is a rare occasion of movie that is perfectly aware of what it is, and what it wants to accomplish. The same goes for the whole trilogy
A.W.E. has always been my favorite of the trilogy. I love the dark f'd up humor and tone, the morbid gross design of the world and characters and the epic mythology.
.
I still can't believe that Disney allowed Gore to make this film.
My brain isn't putting the acronym together can I have the name pls
@@dustybeats5620 At World's End
I kind of agree. The only thing I would’ve liked to have been done different is not have Davy be a puppet. It damn near wiped away everything that was built up for him in Dead Man’s Chest.
@@ComedyBros5 For me, Davey being controlled by the embodiment of a Corporation, is much more terrifying than Davey being a slave to his passions, because he will only fuck with you, if you die on his turf or intentionally seek him out.
.
While being the puppet of Beckett, you don't know who is safe and who isn't, one can be killed by Davey, because Beckett just wanted to control the bananas growing in your yard.
.
But, by the end battle, Davey was no longer Beckett's puppet, and was acting with his own agency when he died.
@chrisvargas2370 I thought he was talking about sum else my dumb ahh💀
At World's End will always be my favourite movie af all time and my favourite PotC movie.
The soundtrack of this is the one I can listen to all day long, even the unreleasead suites are awesome
I don't understand how anyone didn't understand this. As a kid, I didn't understand the dynamics this granularly, but it was obvious enough.
I used to watch At World’s End almost every week back in time… even listening to OST from Zimmer was my daily routine. Gore Verbinski is a genius!
I didn't watch those pirates movies in the theater. I lost one piece of life I will never be able to recover. Still, I embrace the first time I watch Dead Man's Chest and World End in solitude at home, evening, lights off, totally immersed, moved, amazed.
You know it's a great day when Filmento talks Pirates of the Caribbean
I love how from time to time we all get together again to simp over At World's End hoping for better days.
I still think of the closing scene of Will and Elizabeth on the beach often. It's the most romantic scene in cinema for me. And that soundtrack! "One Day" lives in my head rent free.
Fantastic breakdown for a fantastic movie! The pirates trilogy is truly the last example of an epic blockbuster trilogy. While having a few flaws in 2 and 3, they’re so enjoyable and has endless rewatch value!
At Worlds End is basically POTC equivalent to Marvel’s Avengers Endgame.
That's an insult to the Pirates trilogy
Davy Jones actually Looks Like a Real thing. That's Insane af.
Dear god it's refreshing to listen to someone intelligent, who's spitting straight up facts.
Anytime you post a pirates video, I'm in. Such a neglected franchise, but dead man's chest is an all time underrated flick.
First 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies are simly S Tier!
This movie is for real my favorite movie of all time! It’s my most rewatched movie. I memorize 90% of the lines. It’s my favorite film and Hans Zimmer score. Davy Jones is my favorite villain. I have Jack’s Sparrow tat and Will’s Horizon line tattooed on my forearm. I will forever love this movie!
I LOVE the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies... Back then, CGI was scarily realistic and stories are just simple...
TBF, Filmento pointed out that the character dynamics are complex as hell, compared to a lot of Marvel movies where it's just Good Guy Team vs Bad Guy Team.
''There are only THREE pirate movies'' Quote by me
Easily one of the best trilogies of all time. Davey Jones is also one of the greatest villains of all time.
Best trilogy based on an amusement park ride ever
I remember the 3rd pirates of the carribean got panned hard when it came out but it was always my favorite one
I’m having my step son watch these movies and the best way I could explain these movies was “it’s marvel if they actually have a damn”
I remember watching this film in the theater when it came out, and I agree with everything you said. It’s not perfect but it’s way better than most of the shit coming out nowadays
I have the collector's editions for pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2... The boxes that come with an extra DVD in order to have a bunch of special features and things about the making...
It's been years since I watched the extra stuff... But from an interview the actor who played ragetti in the second stuck out to me. He said that they were pretty much at the end of a golden age for Hollywood. Even then he could see that less and less practical sets and costumes and locations. These aspects slowly disappearing in favor in favor of simple CGI... that pirates was probably the end of an era.
I'll have to rewatch it again but this reminds me of this sentiment all the way back during poc2 filming
This guy really went the whole video without saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”
When I watch your pirate review I keep going back to watch it again and again, thank for giving me a good time.
You are the best one there is on CZcams to learn movie production and to learn why certain movies ended up such good or bad. I wish you could also explain certain Series.
Every character we meet is distinct and memorable in Potc. From the main cast to thw secondary pirates to the villains. In the MCU, I can't say the same. People only ever go on about the main 3 and a lot of the side characters get forgotten about. Guess the world was just too big, but potc made their world small enough to care about characters, but big enough to tell epic stories.
I already enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean when I was a kid but watching it as an adult, my appreciation for it has only gotten greater once I was able to see the complex relationships this franchise was able to build, the story was more in depth then i realized but especially with modern blockbusters haven't really been able to achieve that same kind of feeling
Your content never disappoints. Keep it up the good work and I can't wait for the next one
All the characters are full of contradiction, and those can be used as leverage against them.
Beckett is a business man and yet is extremely vindictive. He coldly executes hundreds but will pursue Jack to the ends of the earth, and then cut a deal with him, only to sell him into eternal slavery, and at the end of his world, he accepts it and his death as fair play from a better opponent.
That’s how instead of an imperialist straw man, you make a character.
The thing is, in storytelling, characters should feel like a Survivor cast. Everyone is working for their own gains but should be able to take advantage of forming groups.
Sea Rock doesn't exist, he can't hurt you
*Sea Rock at 2:26 *
Amazing franchise Pirate of the Caribbean was, it's a really enjoyable experience and I really like it
Love your videos Filmento. Both you and ‘The Closer Look’ really helped me become a great writer and learn the strict rules of storytelling. Please keep uploading videos and don’t stop because you’re helping people more than you think. 🙏
I love this movie and the interaction with the characters, that is one of my favorite things to watch an interaction that hasn’t been done to death
It took me until this year to understand this film and appreciate it more. Absolutely amazing.
Its still outstaning to me, that Norrington went from hated villain, to sympathetic character in just three movies. He really got under my skin the longer he was on the screen.
You say he became sympathetic yet you also say he progressively got more and more under your skin. That's pretty contradictory. Which is it?
@@MarkHogan994 by symphatetic i meant likeable. Poor choice of word.
Going with the theme of leverage, I think PotC has way more in common with mystery/detective or those stories where there's no hard power dynamics so most of their "power" comes from their wit and circumstances. It's nothing like the power fantasy we expect from superhero or action epic fantasy movies, cause in those genres, it is somewhat distasteful to use underhanded means to overcome earned power. Although, of course, pure dumb action is... dumb, and having some wit and maneuvering would improve the flavour of the story, it is by no means the focus.
PotC, while having some mythical aspects like Davy Jones and undead pirates, and lumped together with superhero movies, is by no means a superhero movie. Most of the characters there are all regular humans, with nothing super about them, so the way they outplay each other would just be different.
TLDR: characters in PotC actually feel like they're thinking instead of being musclebrains where their brightest ideas usually come from the most obvious places, or made up things that will solve the problem.
I learn so much about storytelling by watching your videos. I cannot make it through dry books explaining it, but your vides doing it alongside movies i know and explaining it that way, has helped me improving and seeing a lot more of the dynamics and understanding them.
And i totally agree. The Pirates movies were entertaining as hell. A fresh wind when things got boring and they still hold up so well. It is good storytelling, good characrs, there is always something happening...two hours pass and you think: what happened? It can't be more than 20 minutes. I need more!
Today it is too often about overpowered empty shells just doing stuff i am not invested in. Which is sad.
What is so damn good about this channel is that almost every point made can be applied to other media as well. Aspiring game creator? Author? Etc? Every tip on meaningful character dynamics, plot, dialog, etc, etc, right here on one channel.
I saw this movie yesterday. It was beautiful.
one thing that annoyed me (even when i was a kid) was how the final battle is just the pearl vs the dutchman and then destroying beckett toghether , the other pirates just sit around and do nothing, whouldn't it be cooler if it was a huge naval battle between both factions ending with the british fleet being destroyed at the end. (at the end you see the other pirates celebrating, first time seeing this scene my reaction was just "why are you celebrating you guys did jack shit)
Thanks a lot Filmento for an awesome year! Have a great January break! :D
I've always loved these movies and one of the first things that drew me to your channel was your love of them. I'll watch any video you make about this franchise lol
I think that when you elevate the stakes to the heights of At World's End or, say, Return Of The Jedi, it's important to give everyone a window to neutrality. Of course it's epic to have the villain want to destroy the universe or whatever, but it gives the character something better to fight for than just their survival. Becket wants to eradicate piracy, so there is always an option to abandon piracy, but it's not what either of these characters would ever agree with. On the contrary, while Infinity War is a good movie, its not really because of its characters. It doesn't help that they are literally superheroes, but the call to action seems kind of obvious. Like, duh, of course they will stand up to fight a genocidal maniac. In PotC however, characters like Will and Liz often question if what they are doing its worth the consequence.
I remember not liking this movie as a kid and thinking the best way to describe this movie was "weird". Plus it felt way too long. As I got older though I can really appreciate this one, it really does put alot of modern movies to shame.
The BO1 soundtrack in the background goes so unimaginably hard
I have always said this is the best fight scene I’ve ever seen in a movie, well choreographed and shot in a cohesive manner. I’ve watched it over and over and over so I completely agree with you!! At words end 👏👏👏
Wow, is this really where we're at? We're nostalgic for pirates of the caribbean sequels??
My co-workers are nostalgic for the first Lego movie that will have been released ten years ago next year.
Filmento has always loved this trilogy, literally whenever he talks about something bad, he’ll use pirates as a good example of doing it well
My nostalgia still only extends to appreciating the first film, finding half of the second film good, and still finding the third bloated and all over the place. But I do appreciate they all had a craft to them that feels so foreign in today's landscape.
Hot take: At World's End is the most underrated movie ever made
Quite possibly
2:25 was so uncalled for 😂
I really enjoy this take on leverage. It shows how you can watch these movies in so many different ways.
Pirates of the caribbean trilogy is perfect. After seeing them many times I still enjoy them and still cannot see flaws. Are there any?
I see flaws, but it’s surely the last true, epic blockbuster trilogy ever.
The first film is perfect.
Dead Man’s Chest WOULD be perfect without the random ass cannibal island sequence. The movie always drags during that time.
World’s End would be perfect if it didn’t reveal Davy to just be a puppet.
Otherwise, its amazing.
@@ComedyBros5what about Planet of the Apes?
Review Godzilla Minus 1 plz
Thank you for all the content Filmento
The first three of these movies were so likeable. They got a bit of a hard time for being such good popcorn movies, but I thought they were clever fun.
That isn't to say that their aren't real criticisms that can be applied to these movies, but there is also a lot to admire.
I remember a lot of negative reviews about this film when it first came out, but for me personally, I loved it 😊
