The line that Ange loved so much-“You best start believing in ghost stories, Ms. turner…you’re in one!”-was such an iconic moment. Props to the writers. And, props to Mr. Rush. Fantastic moment.

The first one is a classic, but tbh the decline already starts with 2. Its a bit like with the Matrix movies. Part 2 is still very good and has some very interesting ideas, but part 3 takes things in a very odd direction and many characters act weird to fit the convoluted plot. 2 and 3 are still good movies, but I think they ruined Elizabeth and Will and there are too many plotlines so many of them feel rushed and confusing. 4 and 5 are cheap cashgrabs.

I always love when they kidnap Elizabeth in the beginning. If she would've used ANY OTHER NAME, they would've let her go back to shore and would've just taken the necklace. But since she used Will's last name, which was ironically the same person they needed blood from, they took her. Shoot, she probably could've said she was the governor's daughter and they still would've let her go. Will was the first person to come to her mind, though, and it just so happened that Will was the person they needed. This might be the best written live-action Disney movie ever made.

[@benschultz1784]

Keira Knightley was 16-17 during filming and had to have her mother with her onstage. Orlando Bloom said he felt Keira's mom's glare during the kiss. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is the best performance in the movie, with Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa a close second. The one-eyed pirate Ragetti is played by Mackenzie Crook, who played Garreth (Dwight Schrute) on the UK version of The Office. And yes, he did wear a contact. This was Zoe Saldana's first major film role. Most of the outdoor scenes were filmed on St. Vincent. The _Black Pearl_ and _HMS Dauntless_ were built on top of barges, while the _HMS Interceptor_ was the 1790 sloop _Lady Washington_ with some minor retrofits. The animators absolutely hated having to fill in the final fight between Jack and Barbossa due to them constantly moving in and out of the moonlight.

[@davidyoung745]

I love these movies for their dialogue. Calling the crew “scabarous dogs” etc. And Jack’s last line, “Bring me that horizon.” Or Barbosa’s “ I feel…..cold”.

[@TSIRKLAND]

Barbosa's last words I've always thought were a missed opportunity. For my money, he should have started to say, "I feel..." with the idea that he was about to describe some sensation, but then died before finishing the sentence: we'd never know what exactly he felt in his last moment. Or- it could have been interpreted as a finished sentence in itself: "I feel." To feel anything at all, simply "to feel" could have been a thought. That ambiguity- I think- would have been an even more epic parting line. More enigmatic. More open to interpretation. Finishing the thought with "...cold" I believe was not as good as it could have been. Obviously, for someone who had not felt *anything* for years, feeling any sort of sensation at all was welcome- the fact that "cold" was all he got to experience- not warm, not hungry, not full, not anything but "cold." There's a poetic justice for that cold-hearted pirate. . But I still like my version better. "I feel.." . Others may agree or disagree. . Jack's "...horizon" line is fantastic; doesn't get any better than that! So many great lines in this film, super well-written!

[@revangerang]

@@TSIRKLAND But feeling "cold" can also mean so many things, not just the physical sensation of lacking warmth and needing a jacket. Like when you're so disappointed/afraid/angry/etc that 'your blood runs cold.' Or cold as in lonely- missing 'the warmth of [another's] flesh'- because of all the backstabbing he did. Besides that, the little hesitation before he says "cold" shows that he's feeling so many more sensations/emotions too. It's just that cold is the predominant one.

This movie was such a HUGE risk. Pirate movies was box office poison (such as Cutthroat Island), it was based on a theme park ride (The Country Bears proved to be a box office failure), and Johnny Depp was an actor known for either indie or weird movies, not blockbusters. This movie was the fourth highest grossing movie of the year ($654 million), has an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Johnny Depp’s performance won him a Critics Choice Award and got him nominated his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role.

I was obsessed with this movie/trilogy as a kid. It’s gotta be my most rewatched movie ever. I rewatched it as an adult and i was legitimately shocked at how well it held up. The practical effects and sets are SO great, the CG is surprisingly solid for the time (nothing touches the CG in POTC 2 and 3 though, that shit is NUTS) and the story, writing, directing, and acting are all leagues above what they should have been. The entire idea of pirates was an outdated and cheesy concept at the time, with people’s only recent frame of reference being Hook or Muppets Treasure Island, which are way more campy. So a pirate movie based on the fun silly pirate ride at Disney had no reason to be such a fun and compelling film. And regardless of his IRL moral character, Depp redefined the entire cultural idea of a pirate, and portrayed Sparrow in a way that’s so unique, there’s no one else who could have done the character the way he did. It’s a real shame that movies 4 and 5 sucked absolute ass, and subsequently killed the entire pirate genre that they had miraculously revived a decade earlier.

[@shainewhite2781]

Nice! Originally Steven Spielberg was going to direct the film but had to drop out in order to make Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002. Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, Michael Keaton, Harrison Ford, Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Matthew McConaughey, and Cary Elwes were considered for Jack Sparrow. Ben Peyton, Chris Masterson, Tobey Maguire, and Jude Law were considered for Will Turner. Jessica Alba, Jaimie Alexander and Amanda Bynes were considered for Elizabeth Swann. Tom Wilkinson, RIP, and Sylvester McCoy were considered for Governor Swann.

[@TSIRKLAND]

The Dread Pirate Roberts himself?? Cary Elwes dusting off his fencing skills again? That might have been interesting! Learning about the casting process for films is always so interesting. Naturally, the cast plays SUCH an important part in the tenor and character of a film. The right or wrong people in a role, the chemistry between cast members, whatever an actor can bring to a role. Sometimes you hear about who was considered, and knowing their other work, say "Huh; I could see that," or "Well it would have been very different, but I could see how the character might have played to that other actor's strengths," or "Jeez, I'm sure glad none of those happened, because they found THE right people for these roles, and I literally cannot picture ANYONE else playing them!" Any of the outright comedians- Williams, Martin, Carrey- would have made Captain Jack a very different character, and the film a very different film! The older actors- Ford, DeNiro, Walken, etc- would have brought a very different feel: a more world-weary type of pirate. The more action types- Jackman, McConaughey, etc- would have made Sparrow the center of attention all the time: the big action hero. Johnny Depp was young enough at the time to flirt with Elizabeth without it being completely creepsville, but also be too old, really, so we would never ship them seriously. And his style of character-acting allowed others to shine around him, as he did his own thing. He stole every scene of course, but was also generous to NOT steal every scene. If you get what I mean. (I kind of feel that the other movies suffered from either too much or too little Jack Sparrow; this first film got the balance exactly right. I still like all of the other movies (even the ones some people don't), but the producers either tried too hard to cash in on Depp's popularity in the role, or shied away too much and lost out on what he brought to the franchise. Finding that balance is difficult; they got it perfect this first time, and struggled to re-capture that lightning again. IMHO.) The Will Turners and Elizabeth Swans I don't have many strong opinions about, other than I am SO glad they chose who they did. Bloom and Knightley had fantastic chemistry together; they both acted the hell out of their roles individually and together; they looked great together; they were young enough (or youthful-looking enough; Bloom was eight years older than Knightley) to have that sense of optimism and bravado and hope- but they also both had a maturity and core of character that showed through.

I think Jack’s line to Barbossa about honest men being unpredictable is so good, because it’s so true. Men like Barbossa and to a lesser extent Jack just cannot predict what someone like Will is gonna do, because his motivations are just too “noble” and they never see it coming.

[@revangerang]

Legit one of the best films of all time frfr. The sequels are also high quality, but nothing can compare to this first one. I saw it in the theaters 14 times when it first came out hehe. Jack Sparrow's anticlimactic entrance on his sinking dingy is so iconic, plus the music and choreography, the costumes and effects, cinematography, pacing, the witty dialogue, the fun character dynamics, the skillful blend of multiple story genres, just PEAK. Also as someone who grew up riding the theme park attraction it was based off of, it means even more, not just because the ride itself is nostalgic to me, but they literally made soooo many references to it throughout the film (such as the shot where the alcohol is dripping through his skeleton, for instance), and they made them all completely natural in the film itself, AND made the story so good while staying true to the spirit of the ride?? Like I literally don't know how they made it so perfect. Puts The Haunted Mansion movie to shame, really. Anyways I'm glad you liked it!

That was a great reaction. The countless amount of people I have seen watch this movie only to not understand one second of what's going on. But you were actually watching & appreciated it.

The black eyeliner wasn’t uncommon among sailors and pirates. It helps absorb some of the glare from the water. It’s also why you often see pictures of Cleopatra with black eyeliner. Same reason but with sand

[@vegvisir9276]

Norrington is one of my favourite characters, he does his duty but he's also a genuinely decent man at heart, realises how Elizabeth truly feels for Will, is obviously heartbroken but accepts it without issue. Then (due to knowing Jack isn't a completely evil person) even finds a work around in his duty to allow Jack time to get away without actually pardoning him. He basically just respects everyone around him in different ways.

[@Slicklettuce]

ya gotta watch atleast the first three. one of my favorite trilogies of all time tbh

[@jodzilla_tv]

You gotta do the rest of them now for sure. One of the great movies franchises in cinema history. Couldnt believe you've never seen them!

[@daninmills]

This movie has been my comfort movie for decades. Anytime I want to just sit down and have a good time, this is my go-to

[@Primroseholic]

Well the way to pronounce Caribbean wasn't a issue in my family cause of my Mom. She always called the movies "Pirates of the carrots and peas" and to this day that's the only way my family refers to the movies. We have to correct ourselves when talking about these movies to everyone else because it just comes out naturally that way for all us to the point that we don't notice.

[@jordangan3246]

Finally, I’m so glad to see you reacting to this.

[@anm8001]

Please, absolutely more of this! I love the first three movies

[@chartbreakers999]

Even though his understudy Klaus Badelt is credited for the score, the main theme was composed by Hans Zimmer (who went on to score 2 & 3).

[@michaelschroeck2254]

When this movie came out…. It was the most fun I had had in the movie theater for a very long time.

[@Alchimexx]

Probably my favorite movie franchise. Cant wait for you to watch more of it.

[@Raddnedge]

I keep coming back to this trilogy, there are certain parts I'm obsessed with. Many seem to rate 2 and 3 categorically beneath the first, but I think 2 and 3 are worth watching, at least.

[@mageeaaron2624]

This is where the fun begins!!!! Classic movie! 🙏🏽💪

[@iSouleyx]

There are so few roles that actors are just that good at, and Geoffrey Rush is 100% that actor. Huge flowers to Johnny Depp, but Rush's rendition of Captain Barbossa is so well done, he plays charming thug so magnificently.

[@SeanBlader]

The theme song for this movie is an absolute banger. Be sure to look for the 2 Cellos performance of the theme, it's absolutely brilliant.

[@elegrin5170]

10:47 "do you have a name missy?" Angelina; " YoUr MoM.." That's our fighting style :D

[@NunyaBiznessss]

Side note can we appreciate how well the effects in this movie hold up after 20 years?

[@chuppathingy2848]

Wow. As many times as I've seen this and watched the reactions for this I've never seen Jack taking the coin at the end. Explains a lot about how he was still cursed.

[@SimplyConeh]

While the last couple of movies probably aren't as good as the first ones, I feel like it's a shame that a lot of people abandon the series at that point. They have some good character performances, good world building and honestly some heartfelt moments...

[@noellegoble7944]

My favorite thing to do while working on cosplays, is to watch the movies (and reaction channels) they came from. Working on Elizabeth’s nightgown and robe from the beginning of the film right now. hoping to have it done soon!

[@revangerang]

God that nightgown is to die for. Jealous!

[@skyhawksailor8736]

The most intresting thing about this movie is it is based on one of Disneyland' Land's oldest and most beloved rides.

[@KaizerHiwatari]

For no apparent reason, this is an almost perfect movie. The dialogue. The action. The pacing. The consistent thematic elements. The fricking callbacks. Barbosa as the perfect sympathetic villain. Norrington as one of the only characters to pull off a lawful good alignment and not be boring af.

[@revangerang]

So trueeeee. I think what really sets Norrington apart is that he truly loves Elizabeth and gives her his blessing to be happy with the one she loves. That and you can see how worried he is about her while still sticking to his morals earlier in the film. That and he can actually admit when he's been beaten, like the "so it would seem" line. He's not self-righteous, just a good person trying to do good in the way he thinks is right.

[@geekedforlife]

lets go my favorite movie series!! loved the reaction!!

[@benmurphy9956]

love that you are enjoying this movie, am also looking forward to you enjoying the rest of the franchise. the first three movies are arguably the best but I also like the fourth and fifth movies as well. I think my favorite might be either the second (dead man's chest) or the third (at world's end).

[@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta]

You gotta love that she clearly have no idea how crazy this trio will be in every movie 😂

[@jonmercano1138]

Here’s a bit of Jack backstory. He was actually in the East India Trading Company, but then he was tasked with transporting slaves, which he refused. The ship he sailed was burned as punishment I believe. He managed to get it back, painted it black since it was scorched from the fire, and renamed it the Black Pearl. I forget where that comes from though The two funny pirates are Pintel and Rageti. The latter is the one with the wooden eye I haven’t seen many people catch that Jack kept one of the coins when he did. Though it’s odd that you caught that yet were surprised he was cursed 😂

[@nicolastanga2130]

This movie is a masterpiece on how to make a blockbuster. And i cracked up when you remembered about the commercial of the movie

[@LydiaZTR]

Love your reaction so much! POTC one of the best franchises in opinion, and the main casts are all amazing too, can't wait for you to react to more of the series!

[@johangomez8122]

22:36 this phrase inspired one of the ancient KZbin Spoof songs to exist, alongside "They taking the hobbits to Isengard" and " I got a jar of dirt"

[@SorenAlba54]

Yeah, Angelina. I too thought that it was an object that was called the Black Pearl, not the actual ship itself. After years of hearing about it but never saw it, I was not disappointed, not in the slightest. Mainly because I’m here for the score provided the GOAT of composers in the later movies. H.Z. FOR. LIFE.

[@gabryelybarra2674]

Fun fact: during the scene where will and jack are walking underwater that was a real shot underwater. While being underwater for hours Orlando Bloom was reciting his lines in elvish due to low oxygen.

[@redjaredits]

The second and third are really really good as well and are definitely worth watching for sure

[@vjtheowl6091]

NO SPOILERS AHEAD! Fun fact from Jack's past, as you said you'd like to know more about his backstory. So Jack used to be a privateer to the crown but he done a deal with East India Trading Company to smuggle 100 slaves, that's how his piracy started. However, he later refused to do it and set the slaves free, after which he got branded as a pirate. It's an interesting piece of info that will give a crumb of context to some stuff happening in PotC 2, which is my favourite of them all. I think I speak for all of us when I say go on watching, you're not going to regret it! :D

[@kodielicious]

In the One Piece anime, Hiroaki Hirata voiced sanji and he reprised his role in the Netflix adaptation for the Japanese dub. Hiroaki Hirata is also the primary voice actor for Johnny Depp in any movie he stars in dubbed in Japanese.

[@juusolatva]

Benny & Joon is a good early example of Johnny Depp playing a wacky character and you have to appreciate all the physical comedy he does in the film.

[@granadosvm]

7:15 There is a deleted scene in the second movie (I think they should have left it in) that shows why that branding of Jack against the Indian Trade Company should be a badge of honor and makes him a real hero. I guess they thought it was better to make it look like he wanted to be a pirate his entire life, instead of being a regular person who became a pirate for choosing to do the right thing.

[@elisecody84]

This movie franchise was my childhood and yes I’d like to see more pirates commentary!🏴‍☠️🔥
