ORDER OF PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE

There has never been a pirate, or for that matter a human being, like this in any other movie. It can be said that his performance is original in its every atom.

Don't mistake me: This is not a criticism, but admiration for his work. Depp in particular seems to be channeling a drunken drag queen, with his eyeliner and the way he minces ashore and slurs his dialogue ever so insouciantly.

I also lost count of how many times Jack Sparrow is the helpless captive of both the British and the pirates, and escapes from the chains/brig/noose/island.Īnd yet the movie made me grin at times, and savor the daffy plot, and enjoy the way Depp and Rush fearlessly provide performances that seem nourished by deep wells of nuttiness. It's fun at first to see a pirate swordfight, but eventually it gets to the point where the sword-clashing, yardarm-swinging and timber-shivering get repetitious. Yes? The only reason I bring this up is that the battle scenes actually feel as if they go on forever. Excuse me for supplying logic where it is manifestly not wanted, but doesn't that mean there's no point in fighting them? There's a violent battle at one point between the Black Pearl crew and sailors of the Royal Navy, and unless I am mistaken the sailors would all eventually have to be dead because the skeletons could just keep on fighting forever, until they won. Now here's the important part: Because they're already dead, they cannot be killed. By day they look like normal if dissolute humans, but by the light of the moon, they're revealed as skeletal cadavers.

Barbossa and his crew then ran afoul of an ancient curse that turned them into the Undead. Barbossa (Rush), who led a mutiny aboard Sparrow's pirate ship, the Black Pearl, and left Capt. Jack Sparrow (Depp) has a deep hatred for Capt. Pointless? See if you can follow me here.
