Curse of the Black Pearl is one of those truly rare things - an absolutely perfect movie. It hits on every single level. The script is razor sharp, the casting is inspired, the acting is even more so, the score is all-time iconic, the costume/set/effects design is flawless, the tone is spot on, and it's edited and directed with a pop-song-esque snappiness that keeps you completely glued. It functions perfectly as a standalone film, while also naturally leading into sequels. It's completely genre-defining to the point where no other film IP has even TRIED to imitate it. The sequels aren't bad by any means, but there was no way they could ever hope to match this one.

[@sharkdentures3247]

Agreed. Even if someone were to criticize it as having "over-the-top" acting at times, (which it DOES), it is INTENTIONALLY "over-the-top" in a way that WORKS! (and even makes the movie BETTER & more "fun") Sort of like the exaggerated action moments does at times. It is impossible NOT to love Depp in this role. (HE is the reason this movie gets dialed up to 11. IMO.)

[@Arrynek01]

the genius levels of the script are absolutely insane in this one. Besides the obvious smart writing (within three minutes of Elizabeth, Will and her dad, you know literally everything you need to know about any of them). My fav is the final escape. When Jack trips and falls over the edge. It was the only way out. We are told at the beginning there are rocks down there and it's a miracle Elizabeth missed them. We are shown Jack is an excellent diver. He could have Olympic dove that bish. But he did exactly what Elizabeth did. Fell uncontrollably because he knew it is safe that way. It is exactly as you said, Alex. He plays dumb but is always a step ahead.

[@alicequinn505]

Nice catch!

[@redjaredits]

I've actually never taken that scene that way but I like you analysis. I have always seen it as a subversion of the classic "rule of threes". Two other times in the film we see Jack dive perfectly and I believe his intention was to dive from the wall, but instead his clumsiness takes over and he falls as a comedic gag. Jack has the power of luck and is able to survive the fall much like Elizabeth did in a perfect cyclical moment for the film. I do agree with you however that he was calculating his escape I just don't believe that he intended to fall uncontrollably.

[@tacofop600]

@@redjaredits I agree with your interpretation. I've seen at least one other person recently make the same argument that Jack supposedly tripped on purpose for some reason, but it just seems like an odd thing to try to morph into a specifically intentional act by Jack. He's an extremely cunning character, but he's not totally infallible with every little thing he does. He has his share of stumbles (figuratively and literally) throughout the movies, like when he gets captured due to being bashed on the back of the head by a drunkard, for one example. And it's not like it takes anything away from his overall cunning just because he tripped; he was still certainly about to dive off intentionally. The reason the trip over the wall is in there is because it's a great and funny piece of writing, for the reasons you pointed out, and additionally, because he already said his full line about, "This is the day..." once before in the movie. So the stronger application than just saying the line again and kind of over-playing it is to do what they did and have him cut off mid-sentence. The audience remembers the line, so they still feel the meaning of it, but it becomes a great and memorable moment of comic relief in its own right. With all that said, it basically works either way, so whichever way the viewer interprets it is all good by me.

Jack's walk. Yes it is like Bellatrix, and fittingly enough Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are fairly regularly cast in the same films, and while the film implies it's because he went mad on the desert island, that may not actually be the case, on ships of the era it's quite often the case that the tide rocks it from side-to-side and forwards and backwards, meaning the deck under your feet is constantly changing its incline and direction, Jack's admittedly odd style is consistent with walking on a sailing ship, he's so used to living on a ship on the open seas, that he's forgotten how to walk normally on land.

I adore the main trilogy. It was such an epic adventure. Also the reason why Jack and the monkey turned into skeletons at the end was because, as Barbosa explained to Elizabeth during their dinner, the treasure was cursed. If you took a coin from the treasure, then you'd become cursed to become like an undead and look like a monster under the moonlight. Jack Sparrow took a coin while talking to Barbosa and hid it so that he wouldn't die fighting Barbosa, giving Will and Elizabeth enough time to prepare their coin to break the curse and end everything. After the coins were all returned, everyone was turned back into mortals - even the monkey. However, the monkey also took a coin at the credit scene, making him immortal once more. The curse would restart and only be stopped if the monkey ever returned the coin and repaid with blood.

anybody who was wondering about the way jack walks/runs it's because he's used to being on a ship, he's got sea legs, note that when he's on a rocking boat his walking looks far more normal!

[@AzarathMetreon]

“We break every other law in the world, but the pirate code stays in tact!” Don’t underestimate the weight of the code. It’s the only law the pirates all agree to abide by.

[@kriscynical]

Jack clicking shut the compass in time with the cut to black is one of the most satisfying badass ending shots to a movie _ever._

[@Lubby_c]

Im beyond excited for Dead Mans Chest. The plot is incredible, introduces one of the most iconic villians of all time, has some of the funniest parts in the series, and is just an all around amazing movie.

[@joshuabarnett88]

You actually make a great point. Johnny Depp is so iconic in this role that I would say 90% of all people think of him as Jack Sparrow. Regardless on if they've seen the movie. That's the power of character

[@maxsummers5160]

BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!!!! Hans zimmer must of been POSSESSED putting this soundtrack together in a night 💀🎻🏴‍☠️

[@Samhertzog]

Hans Zimmer didn't write it

[@maxsummers5160]

@@Samhertzog He did!! He composed the score for the movies, but couldn’t actually conduct the first one I think, which is why Klaus Badelt is known and credited for composing the first one, (curse of the black Pearl) 🏴‍☠️🎶🎻

[@Nepomniachtchi_Austin]

Only watching these movies multiple times can you pick up on some of the weird details. To me, Jack asking the two redcoats why they are there instead of Norringtons promotion ceremony is just him wondering if theyre stupid enough to let him aboard the ship theyre guarding to see if it's worth stealing. They were, and it was.

[@spdcrzy]

PotC is one of those movies that is timeless. It could have come out in 1990, in 2000, 2010, or 2020, and it would STILL be amazing.

[@willbyrn5920]

Man the original trilogy of these monies is so good. The second one is unreal

[@TvojaMAMA77]

agreed! the introduction of Davy Jones is 👌

[@therunawaykid6523]

I love the sword fight on the massive wheel between jack and will

[@TvojaMAMA77]

yeees!! the whole trio fight (Jack, Will and Norrington) was so funny and awesome@@therunawaykid6523

[@poweredbymoonlight9869]

*Alex Hefner* - First the monkey was undead by the curse just like the rest of the pirastes because he to took a coin in the first place as well, and for a little while he was alive/uncursed since Will broke the curse with his blood, but then the monkey took again one of the coins which means it became undead and under the curse again. It either wanted to be undead or it took it again out of greed. -Everytime someone takes any of those aztec cursed coins from the source where they belong, those will be under the curse until the same proceedure of breaking the curse happens again. It wasn't broken until many years later by Will because EVERYONE that took the coins had to not only return them but also give a bit of blood and since Bootstrap was already "dead" by then Will was the last one to use his blood because Bills blood runs in Wills. They also spent alot of time to finding every single one of those coins again because they spent them as any money before feeling the effects of the curse and becoming aware of it.

[@anneelise9787]

Answering your question at the end: the treasure is cursed, whoever takes a medallion gets that curse on the spot, that's why the monkey turned to "zombie monkey" in an instant, and that's why Jack got cursed too

[@Wangan280z]

That last line “Drink me hearties YO HO” and he slams the compass shut, thats always my goosebumps moment. I saw this opening night in the theaters, i was in high school, i went into it thinking it was gonna be a cheesy disney movie, my face was melted off lol.

[@Filiman22]

Thank you for this reaction. I usually don't comment videos but I am watching your videos for a few months now and and I am always having such a great and funny time watching you. This one really made my day! Keep it up, I love your sence of humor.

[@thannaske5371]

Burt Lancaster in "The Crimson Pirate." The underwater canoe gag was lifted DIRECTLY from that film. Worth hunting down.

[@baeleth]

I get the feeling you missed the explanation that those cursed are revealed in the moonlight. That's why, after he took a coin from the box in the stinger, the monkey looked undead in the moonlight.

[@MattShannon]

12:54 literal LOL at your face on Sparrow's body in the cell. bwahaha

[@susanconstable2113]

These movies are nothing without Johnny! He is perfection! FYI- Johnny and the actress who plays belletrix are actually very good friends! She is also amazing in anything she plays.

[@dragonforce627]

Dude, I am so happy that you finally watched this!! This movie is so freaking iconic!! It still holds up as one of the greatest pirate movies ever even after all these years. My favorite line of the whole series was Jack screaming "But why is the rum gone?"

[@cosmo588]

This movie series as well as HP and LOTR genuinely made my childhood. So excited for these reactions!

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

“I don’t even want to imagine; five guys get a hold of a girl like that, what could happen.” That’s why I’d want to live in a Disney universe if I had to portal into one. There’s much less of a chance what would actually happen would happen.

[@redza1603]

Except that the pirates definitely would’ve done exactly that even in this movie. Only reason they didn’t was because they wouldn’t be able to feel it. Remember how Barbossa says ”Waste not”

[@fernglade]

Yeah, I remember being astounded when this movie became 10 years old, just because of how phenomenal it is. I am no less astounded now that it's 20.

[@allisonhunter1063]

Pintel and Ragetti have the "umbrellas" but they're actually called "parasols" and they aren't designed to keep water off of you, they're to protect you from the Sun. They put them in the movie as a nod to the fact that you can buy customized parasols at Disneyland in New Orleans Square.

[@cooleybeboolin]

love that you’re finally watching these movies, they’re absolute gems

[@caleb_güero]

I lived and worked as a deckhand aboard the very real ship that played the Interceptor in this movie for five or six months. Trust me, it's not very fast, but she does sail, and it's fun, but a completely different skillset and life living like that. Also, it takes way more than two people to operate her and her Boom does NOT move like that.

[@maia2837]

Really enjoyed watching how much YOU enjoyed this! It seemed like you were just genuinely having a wonderful time and that's so feel good to watch. Hope you do the rest of the series!!

[@Y.Gigantae]

23:54 "Barbossa is hungry" is my second Favourite Soundtrack in this Movie!

[@leonidasthanatos1182]

The thing about these movies that really gets me, is there originally were no plans for sequels, this was supposed to be a one & done but they managed to make it feel like it was always intended to be a trilogy.

[@pebblehilllane]

A friend of one of my nieces works in the film industry. When the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies were made she was head of the filming locations department. She'd go and negotiate for sites and get all the needed permits and any needed housing. She got to stay and watch the filming. One of the things they had was a very large luxury yacht and whenever there were scenes filmed on ships the yacht wasn't far away off camera. When actors weren't in scenes they'd be brought to the yacht. It was loaded with fancy foods and everything that was needed and when not filming it was used as a party boat. She really enjoyed working on the first two Pirates movies, but then she got a better job offered to her, what I do not remember, so she wasn't part of the ones that followed.

[@Irenereactioncorner]

omg I can't believe you starting to watch these movies, this is gonna be so much fun

[@8bennaboo]

Well, pigs do make very comfy nests and they are very warm. Also, they are very clean so unlikely to be any fecal matter nearby. perhaps mud, they do like mud as a natural sunscreen and fly repellant. Plus, it cools them down.

[@lowerybenjamin1]

the thing i really love about this trilogy is they make everyone lovable in their own way even the villains

[@TheOnsieWithConverse]

haven't even watched yet and i'm so effing pumped. the first three are some of my favorite childhood movies.

[@JakkFrost1]

"Whose side is Jack on?" "...at the moment?" The ultimate summation of Captain Jack Sparrow.

[@luziel3071]

Alex making the connection to Bellatrix makes me want him to watch Johnny and Helenas movies together

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Jack had Keith Richards in mine when he created Captain Jack Sparrow. I have loved Johnny Depp since 21 Jump Street. He also has a cameo in the original Nightmare on Elm Street and he was in platoon. Her name is escapes me right now but Johnny did star with the woman who played Bellatrix in Sweeney Todd. She is married to Tim Burton and Johnny does a fair number of movies with Tim Burton. Oftentimes Tim Austin has Danny Elfman from Oingo Boingo, Dead Man's Party ironically for doing his soundtracks

[@DravenMercer]

I can't wait for the rest of the movies with you. Great reaction

[@margaritaville306]

I Love Elizabeth Singing Sea Shantees In The Beginning.. I Love When They Do It Again in Another Movie👏🏼👏🏼

[@ablasttv]

Oh man a movie I would love to see more reactions for is Sweeney Todd, with both Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix), not to mention Snape, Wormtail and thats right you guessed it, Borat. Its a super fun movie.

[@andrejsandal2382]

"Willy Wonka vs the Chocolate Factory" 🤣🤣🤣 Had to pause because of a fit of laughter, never change Alex, your humour is right up my alley!

[@TheGoIsWin21]

After years of watching this movie over and over, I think it's legitimately underappreciated just how fuckin great Geoffrey Rush was in this movie. He's the most piratey pirate who ever pirated on film, played into the stereotypes and audience expectations absolutely perfectly, while maintaining enough empathy and honesty to make the character special. His "I feel" at the end is just beautiful, full of all the weird joyous remorse his character would be feeling in that moment.

[@beesly01]

34:06 My favorite line :"At the moment?"

[@juicer6969]

Loved the reaction and the editing! Looking forward to your reactions to the next movies!

[@TheLoreLabs]

literally the first ever DVD i owned as a kid with my first DVD player! Love this movie

[@slycooperfox5050]

Hans Zimmer with the soundtrack... The goat of orchestras

[@cassieo]

20:00 try Shipwrecked (1990) or Swiss Family Robinson (1960) for pirate adventuring. Otherwise, you’re right-Muppet Treasure Island (1996) is a fun romp, but the POTC trilogy was really the pirate movie to top them all. Great script, stellar effects, award winning cast.

[@mando8469]

If you notice that Johny Depp played Jack Sparrow to well that he made it so Jack Sparrow can't walk properly while on land and always looks "drunk and stumbling" but when you see him on a shit he's as sure footed as anyone....its a real nice touch..

[@TyrWesterberg]

Fun fact Depp based the character on Keith Richards, Keith even plays a role in the later movies

[@DirtCheapFU]

The pirate with the wood eye, Gareth Keenan, should be more popular. He played the original Dwight from the OfficeUK. The Commodore, Jack Davenport, played the lead role on Coupling. The UK spin on Friends. The rest of the cast was stellar.

[@therunawaykid6523]

That is Mackenzie crook

[@Starr1Bryte]

There's a moment in either the commentary or the behind the scenes stuff where they talk about how they did the pirates make up and they wanted Barbossa to "look like he had hepatitis z" or something like that~ They had waaaaay too much fun making these movies and you can tell that every single person had a really good time~

[@kimmccarthy7747]

In case you didn't realize, the sailor at the beginning who tells off Elizabeth for singing about pirates later becomes Jack's best friend and a pirate himself.

[@christophermorgan598]

Fun fact, Alex. Elizabeth's dad is the High Sparrow on Game Of Thrones!

[@logan4005]

“This man looks like a combination of Captain America and Nicholas Cage” 🤣🤣🤣 When you said it, I paused and looked at him more and was like “oh shit. He does.” Norrington was my favorite. This came out the summer before I started High School and I saw it in theaters 5 times (loved it so much). Every other 14 year old girl was obsessed with Orlando or Johnny. I was really into Jack Davenport (Norrington). Similar thing happened with Twilight. I wasn’t into Jacob or Edward. I liked Bella’s Dad Charlie… I was only 19 🤣
