Just rewatched this absolute banger last night. I was younger when this came out so it’s a little more nostalgic I guess. But let me say that Disney will NEVER, and I mean NEVER be able to replicate a movie this good again.

It blows my mind how the action can be exciting, have incredible practical effects, characters feel so authentic, while the humor not being cringe like it is today. No trying to push some political narrative, just straight up fun.

This is what a blockbuster should be but I think this is an era long gone. Is it even possible for Disney to get back to this level?

Absolute core memory of 2003 renting this and Finding Nemo on vhs.

What an elite weekend

I look at it as the movie of The Secret Of Monkey Island, as it is as close as we will ever get thanks to Barbossa and company effectively being Ghost Pirate LeChuck and his phantom crew.

Kierra Knightley is so pretty in this movie. It’s distracting!

Very rewatchable you are correct… it is so refreshing to watch after you see some modern day DUDS.

Great movie. The second one is also pretty great.

The third one is good, but dips in quality, mainly because the CGI is so ridiculous I think. But all in all, it's a solid trilogy.

The fourth one was just okay (IIRC pretty boring first half, pretty solid second half), and I haven't seen the last one.

But the original Pirates is great.

Jack Sparrow was tailor made for Johnny Depp.

I think Johnny Depp had a lot to do with who Sparrow ended up being. he really took over that role and brought a ton to it.

I absolutely love the first 3 movies with 1 being by far the best. Can't believe it's been 20 years since it came out. That was a good time for Disney/Pixar too. No they just put out garbage.

Loved this one. Davey Jones animation is still top tier as well in the other movie.

It’s crazy to see how far Disney has fallen. They could print money in the mid 2000s.

It’s amazing how much bad content we get these days. Watching almost any movie even 10 years that was popular at the time makes it so apparent.

He literally did. Disney was pissed at the portrayal

The OG Pirates of the Caribbean kicks arse. The amount of times I get sucked into it when flipping through the TV is endless. It’s so rewatchable

I recently showed my 6&7 yo boys these movies. I had so much fun watching them watch the movies. They’re full blown swashbucklers now hahaha.

I really loved the Pirates franchise greatly, especially the first three.
