I have my jar of dirt and rum. I'm set for Pirates Month!

[@justanotherchannelonyoutub126]

Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember: the day Nostalgia Critic criticized Captain Jack Sparrow!

[@MrAuthor3DS]

I think there's even more beautiful irony in Barbossa's last words (for the time being). You may notice how he seems slightly happy as he says "I feel..." - but that expression becomes somber when he realizes his first feeling in 13 years...is the cold feeling of dying. Hits harder when we see the apple he was planning to eat fall from his dead hand.

[@BlueEyesWhiteGuy89]

Fun Fact: You will notice Jack Sparrow walk normally, albeit a little flamboyant at times, on ships but his walking becomes erratic on land as this is most likely down to his sealegs being used mainly on the ships at sea.

Fun Fact: Johnny Depp wore contact lenses, which served as sunglasses, so he wouldn't be squinting in the sun all the time.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

According to Johnny Depp, he basically wanted to play Jack Sparrow a bit like a cartoon character as well as a rock star. Which is how he always survives deadly situations by the skin of his teeth.

Can we agree the CG for the skeletons is STILL pretty good, even for today?

[@sonicstormer]

Will and Elizabeth weren't the popular characters, sure. However, they are important because they actually move the plot along, which lets Jack be silly and funny. Don't forget though, there's a reason why Jack always seems to be reacting to events in the first 3 movies especially as opposed to moving things along.

[@nathank2289]

Jack's "What a man can do and what a man can't do" and his "Not all treasure is silver and gold" are two of my favorite speeches in Hollywood history

[@sophiecooper1824]

Geoffrey Rush is absolutely amazing as Barbossa . He's just so much fun and he's the only one who actually acts like a pirate, i see Jack more like an adventurer. Barbossa also has the most character development in all the movie next to Elizabeth. I like that they do different things with him and don't just make him the antagonist in all the movies. I also still remember when i watched the 2nd movie in theater and he came down the stairs at the end , it was an insane reveal at the time .

[@M.C.ThomasReviews]

This movie truly has everything: the right blend of action, humor, and romance, while also knowing when to take itself seriously. It's a classic and timeless adventure.

[@SJ_RANKS]

20 years later and I love that line

[@patrioticjustice9040]

To answer your question about how Pintel and Ragetti feel pain (getting hit in the face with a pan and getting burnt) the curse takes away the feeling of pleasure; meaning they can still feel pain. We see pirates scream when being stabbed, and Barbossa mentions that he's been starving to death and unable to quench his thirst, whereas the things that give him the joy of life (the wind on his face, the spray of the sea, the warmth of a woman's flesh) he's unable to feel. Bootstrap Bill later on talked about how he was in torment at the bottom of the ocean, being crushed by the water pressure and drowning, yet not being able to die.

[@NPC1921]

"I feel cold" is just as significant a line. Barbossa's feeling something for the first time in years, and ironically it's the pain of death. It's tragic and symbolic and it's a wonderful line that works just as well if not better than "I feel old"

[@Figgy5119]

Being a Millennial, I've of course seen this movie a billion times, so it's easy to forget that younger kids these days aren't familiar with the original.

[@teru88]

i always felt like the "i feel cold line" was perfect. because he wanted to

Fun fact about this film: Jack Sparrow's pistol was a Real functioning flintlock pistol that pirates used in the time period. Disney acquired one for use in this movie. Every other pistol was a prop, but the significance of Jack's reason for his one bullet to kill Barbossa made it more impactful.

[@MajorSleeve]

I actually think Will is a good character, he’s comically virtuous and comes off as a parody of the knight in shining armor. It’s a good balance for the double-hero dynamic with Jack’s personality

[@L337M4573RK]

And not a single mention about that awesome musical score! "He's A Pirate" hits on so many levels, and you easily recognize it when you hear it!
