My girlfriend watches Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for the FIRST time 

For a movie that came out over 15 years ago, the VFX are just top notch. They wouldn't look out of place in a movie made this year. Incredible stuff!

When Elizabeth opened the compass, what she wanted the most was to know the reason for why Will ended up on the ship of Davy Jones, and the compass pointed at Jack sparrow. The first time I watched this I thought the same that she had feelings for Jack, but watching it again it made alot more sense. She just wanted to know why Will ended up on the ship and the answer was Jack. Hope that made sense

She never liked Jack, but Jack was the answer to the two things she wanted the most: Will and freedom. This is given much more depth in 3. It doesn't make any sense at all that she liked Jack.

The crew's reaction to Barbosa's return at the end of the movie was genuine, none of them were told who would be coming down the steps and Geoffrey Rush had been hidden from everyone on set until then.

Everyone concerned about Jen's bloodlust and Holden's dislike of his own dogs. But I'm out here concerned why you two are always sick 😅 Get better soon guys.

By the way, the scene in which Jack falls down the stairs and sings "I got a jar of dirt" was actually an improv on Johnny Depp's part. So the confusion and the surprise on the other actors faces when he falls down is actually genuine. 🤣

"i don't care if you watch porn, just not pirate porn" 🤣🤣🤣 that one got me rolling

The reveal of Davy Jones has really stuck with me all these years. Something about the way he moves, the cgi truly is incredible Also I played the crap out of Disney Infinity when I was younger, which might have something to do with it

I think the reason the compass pointed to Jack for Elizabeth is because in that moment she wanted to know who was responsible for getting Will stuck on Davie Jone's ship. I don't think it was about any sort of romantic interest.

The animation on Davy Jones holds up SO incredibly well. The lighting, the texture, the individual tentacles, everything.

This one is one of the finest adventure movies I've ever seen and tbh honest I've never gotten all the criticisisms people have. Everyone says it's a mess but it actually it's a laser focused plot in which every main character has a clear motivation and stakes. Filmento made a pretty good essay on the subject, I recommend it to everyone.

That whole ‘Lizzy loves Jack’ thing has its meaning. The scene when Elizabeth’s dress was drowning into the sea, that’s a metaphor for her old life. In her journey, she went from a governer’s daughter to become more reckless and cunning. Jack Sparow represent that side of her life. That’s why, as she began to be more curious about her new path, the compass was pointing at Jack. The final scene when she kissed Jack is perfect because it shows us “this is actually not about love at all, it’s about Elizabeth becoming a - as Jack said himself - pirate.”

This movie is absolutely fantastic. You have multiple very fleshed out characters all with their own wants and motives, and they all interact so flawlessly together.

This was the first movie I ever saw alone in a theater, also the first time I saw the very first Transformers trailer... That was almost 16 years ago... Wow, and the film looks great still, the production value was always great I these. Elizabeth never liked Jack, the compass only pointed to Jack because her the answer to where Will was. I'm surprised there was no "Is that a fish?" comment with Jones' crew, because the answer would be "yes".

The compass shows "What you want most", and at that scene Elizabeth wanted to know the reason why Will turned out to be on the Devi Jones' ship(which was Jack). It was not because she wanted Jack. It's in the context.

One underrated thing about the original Pirates trilogy (specially two and three) is the cinematography; it is GORGEOUS.

I actually went there on a cruise. The island they shot the cannibal tribe stuff at is called Dominica. You can actually swim down in the canyon where the crew broke the cage open. And the place where Jack gets fruit thrown at him and he falls is the same spot they shot the actual tribe/fire scene. The cliff ledges are real but they are only about 10 feet high, and the main coastal road runs down below right in between them lol Also, Tia Dalma's river and shack were on the other side of the island, but we didn't have time to visit that site cause our ship only stayed like 4 hours there that day. Beautiful island...

Johnny Depp is the heart and soul of these movies. So glad you're finally reacting to this masterpiece! Who's excited for the 6th one?

I was watching the original X-Men with my girlfriend the other day, her first time watching 😂 she asked me a question and without thinking I replied "Who's to say" 😂 her reaction was exactly like Jen's and it took me a moment to realise what I had done 😂😂

This one definitely feels like a first part and At Worlds End seems like a second part.

This is a unique film… This was the day Jen could ask “Is that a Fish?” and all the answers would be “Oh yeah, he is!” And also, don’t watch this movie as a single movie, is practically a two parts with the third one (At World’s End) and those two are a masterpiece!

Jen's going to look a little too hard and find a folder not hidden well enough on Holden's hard drive. The Plundered Booty Porthole Full o' Seamen Swabbin' the Poop Deck Beggin' for a Peg Leggin' I think I could lose an entire day coming up with these. Was the entirety of immature humor based on pirate slang? It's a gold mine.

If Barbosa is Jens favourite character I thinks she’s gunna love At Worlds End. Of the 3 it’s my favourite (I know it isn’t for most but it just has everything for me)

Dead man's chest/worlds are my favourite pirates movies. Loving this hole holden keeps digging for himself people do need to lighten up though jokes are jokes and yes holden mentioning cyber chase the best scooby doo movie. And Bill nighy does such a great job of playing davy jones. FYI Jen you shouldn't be happy about the dog being the chieftain i think that's the wrong word cause when Jack was they were going to eat him I'm sure that was the case so take that as you will

Fun fact the first Pirates of the Caribbean was the only one actually shot in the Caribbean after that they did almost all the at sea shots in like Hawaii I believe, cause it was cheaper

So I get what Holden meant on the Commodore storyline but it makes a lot of since for him to be there to show the 3 Paths that they were setting up for trying to take the heart. Jack- wanted it so that he can travel the sea forever as a pirate and basically ruling over them. Will- Wanting to save his dad soul from the damned and since he’s been around DJ, he knows how terrible the rules are and wants to correct them. Commodore- Wanting to get back into the military side. Plus now that he’s being a pirate in this movie he can definitely reason with them and make some deals so that things can run smoothly on the pirate side and military. We already had a glimpse of it in the first movie when he let Jack go

😂😂😂 I love Jen's reaction when holden widened his eyes on pirate porn, "You can watch porn, just don't watch pirate porn, that's weird." 😂😂

Fun to know that the cast did not know that Rush was going to come back. Their look of surprise is very very real!

If there was ever a movie where Jen was going to ask “Is that a fish?” I would have put money on it being this one. Incredibly, I would have lost some cash today.

when Jen saw the post credits scene with the dog as chief of the Pelegostos and said "my kind of scene" with a big fat smile, I died laughing. Either Holden's caninocidal tendencies rubbed off or she already forgot what role does the chief of the Pelegostos tribe play in their dining rituals xd you should watch the pitch meeting of this particular movie...

The score for these movies is *fantastic* Also, check out a video called *'Well Someone Had to Explain the Liars Dice Scene'* far more important than it perhaps first seems.

The bit where comador Norington shows up is one of my favourite bits the way you don't see him at first and everyone's reaction to him plus the bit at the end with barbosa just makes me want to watch the third one right away

4:25 The differences in the reactions is just too perfect. What shocks Jenn makes Holden laugh. Love it.

The compass pointing to Jack wasn't because Elizabeth "wanted" him. It was because she what she wanted most at the moment was to know who was responsible for Will being on the Dutchman (Commodore Norrington planted that idea in her head just before the compass changed direction).

That first Pirates movie might legit be the film that really kickstarted the whole post credits scene craze that is so common in movies today. At least it was the first time I had ever seen it done before.

18:02 - The reason the compass points to Jack is because Elizabeth wished to know the reason Will was trapped on Davy Jones's ship. She checks the compass right after Norrington mentions the subject, so that's what she's wondering.

15:48 So jack took advantage of her wanting to find will by telling her in order to save will, you must find the chest first! So she uses the compass to point what she wants most. Which is the chest! So Jack can get closer to control the Dutchman! Lol well played! :p ☠️☠️☠️

Stellan Skarsgård aka bootstrap bill is a great actor, and I love his son Gustaf playing Floki in Vikings. Great swedish actors, and that's alot of love from a Danish man!

Jack is a whole mood and I wish I could be him everyday

The Elizabeth and jack “romance “ isn’t necessarily just her having a crush but her aslo flirting with the idea of becoming a pirate and living a life of what jack represents , which is freedom

The pirate porn bit had me rolling 😂 😂 Holden’s face when he said it lmaooo he’s definitely seen Pirates ☠️

For Jen Holden, yes that's the girl from Venom :) her name is Naomie Harris and she's also in the movie Rampage with Dwayne Johnson

The soundtrack for all of them is amazing but it just kept getting better from this one on to the third one, Davy Jones’s theme is one of my favorite tracks ever, zimmer is a master. Just all the emotion conveyed in that piece tells Davy’s story perfectly.

I believe the compass pointed at Jack after being asked about if she wondered what happened to her fiancé. Pointing at Jack showed her that Jack was the reason will was there.

"You watch PIRATE PORN 'o' " i lost it lmao

She didn't want Jack (compass pointing to Jack) Compass points to anything that they want i.e. if Jack wants to find a Drum of Rum compass will point towards it, if Jack wants to find a perticular person, the compass will point towards the direction. That is why EIC wants the compass cause they can then just think of something and compass will point towards that direction. So in that scene she must have wanted to know the person who was responsible for Turner going on that ship, which was Jack.

I would really REALLY love for you two to react to the extended version of the Liar's Dice for this scene, and also a breakdown on it's brilliance because it truly is an absolute mastercraft of a scene.

10:58 there's a little easter egg in that scene. After the monkey is released from the cage he runs to another room, Barbossa is in that room because we can see his boots, which the monkey recognizes, we don't know if he was dead at the time of that scene and it was just his corpse in that room or if he was already resurrected but didn't want to reveal himself to Jack and the others. Also, she (the witch) is the same actress that appeared in Venom 2

Just wanted to share that there's an amazing deleted scene of the dice game in which Will wins his dad's freedom (before he asks for the key), I think it adds a lot to the scene in which Bootstrap sacrifices it for Will's

I still can’t believe how Depp got away with his Keith Richard’s homage through all these films and built the whole character that way. So Rock and Roll. Too fun. Great reaction as always!

The thins with the compass pointing towards Jack probably wasn't because Elizabeth was attracted to him. It was almost certainly her wanting to know why Will ended up on the Dutchman. There's also a deleted scene, or more accurately, a cut section of the Liar's Dice scene, in which Will beats Jones to win back his father's freedom, which then goes into the game shown in the movie.

This is my favorite POTC movie. The action is TOP NOTCH. The sword fight over the key/chest is insane and the kraken fight at the end was an incredible set piece. And the ending with Barbossa gives me chiiills!!

This movie came out when I was a kid and I loved it. This is my fav POTC and man the vfx still holds up with Davy Jones and the soundtrack is so good. The first 3 movies are the best ones and can't wait for you guys to react to it.

I believe that Davy Jones was from a tale spread amongst pirates etc. It was said that he lived on the bottom of the ocean with his locker attached to him. It was also said that if someone died at sea their body would go down to the bottom where Davy Jones put it in his locker and gets the soul of the person. People think that he was a pirate version of the devil and the locker was just another word for the seabottom. But that differs from story to story and there are some different versions of it. So yeah you can Imagine that people at that time were very afraid to die at sea. So they did their best to bring the ship and crew back home.

The script might no be quite as tight, or grounded, but the movie still has so much kinetic energy and talent (particularly in Nighy), it measures up brilliantly.

I love all the CGi and practical effects they had in this one like Davy Jones and his crew look sooo good its crazy. Jack and Elizabeth was weird to me but i do love everyone dynamic and how they play off of each other

that whole conversation about porn almost killed me 😂 hilarious how much it went on and jen’s reactions lmao

Barbosa entrance at the end is the best cliffhanger I’ve ever seen in a movie I remember my theatre actually clapped

always a pleasure to see people reacting to Depp improvising

This movie is just the perfect example of how plot and character coincide with each other-good plot builds good character. You don't care about the plot you don't care about the character and their wants and needs. This movie feels like it is all over the place, only if you don't pay attention. Every scene has a purpose.

Another awesome reaction video. Dead Man's Chest is my favorite film in this franchise. Love the character of Davy Jones.

Norington asked if she ever wondered how Will wound up on the Dutchmen in the first place, she ten opens the compass and it points at Jack as the reason

I was anxiously awaiting; "is that a fish?!" from Jen. Instead she just laughed and said "Is that a hammerhead shark?". :(

The scene near the start where jack is captured by the tribe and he is trying to escape but falls with the rope unravelling the stunt double that performed that stunt got seriously injured Not only that but the giant wheel fight was all real the actors had to fight on a giant spinning wheel and control it at the same time they said it was really difficult in the weather Lastly the seen of Hector Barbosa's return the actors didn't actually know anything about him coming back so the look on their faces were genuinely excited to see him on set

I love this movie. I honestly enjoy watching this one more than Curse of the Black Pearl

Captain barbossa return at the end by far the best moment in the film 👌🏼

I think I’m in the minority here, but dead man’s chest has always been my favorite Pirates movie

I’m glad that there is some love for Norrington here. He was always a fave of mine.

I think when elizabeths compass points toward Jack, she wanted to know whos fault it is that Will is on the dutchman. Not who she loves

Yes Tia Dulma’s actress also played Shriek in Venom 2. She’s great at playing over the top bad guys

cant wait for you guys to react the third one its my favourite one

A few different pirate tropes were blended here. -Davy Jones was the sailor's equivalent of the devil, and sinking a ship was called "sending it to Davy Jones' Locker." -A Dead Man's Chest was a pirate's term for an Island, there's a popular rhyme about it. -The Black Spot was legendarily a black dot of paper that a pirate would be given before he was hunted down or betrayed. -The kraken may actually be a real-life species of squid called Mesonychoteuthis, or the Colossal Squid. A live specimen has never been captured, but we know it exists and has fought with sperm whales. Edit: Also remembered, the flying dutchman was a legendary ghost ship.

Jen's eye expressions are still the best of every reaction video

24:00 igoddajarodir igoddajarodir and guess whatz inside ee.🤣 gets me everytime.

Technically, Jack said "raid, pillage, and plunder" not "rage".

The compass pointing to Jack was a ruse. Elizabeth wanted the letters from Lord Beckett. Jack stuffed the letters in his jacket. Elizabeth even says "Jack, the letters, give them back" and Jack refuses. So when the compass points to Jack, it's actually pointing to the letters, not to Jack.

The whole island scene felt like a studio interference to me.. everything else is pretty dark in this movie but I felt the studio was trying to remind the Director of this is a kids movie. Which really is just not good! ☠️☠️☠️

I feel Elizabeth was smart enough to know that Norrington meant that Jack was the reason Will was on Davy Jones' ship. At that moment the thing she would want more than anything would be to kill the man responsible. That is what I see when the compass turns to Jack.

The Captain Barbosa surprise return is still one of my favorite twists in film.

Johnny Depp singing I got a jar of dirt was improvised. That's why most of the actors looked confused during that scene.

the actor who plays the squid captain ( davy jones) also played in "underworld" , he played Viktor, the vampire boss

So just from the clip we saw, my impression of the compass pointing at Jack was Elizabeth wanting to know the answer to Norrington's last question of who was responsible for Will being taken by the Dutchman, because that's what she wanted to know most in that moment.

When they shot the scene where Elizabeth kisses Jack, they didn’t tell Orlando Bloom it was going to happen so his reactions are real! Such a great choice, love that you guys are doing these amazing movies!

Davy Jones, along with Gollum from LOTR, represented a major change in the way digital characters were presented on screen. They are performances that, while enhanced and added to by a team of effects artists, are largely driven by a single actor making choices. Bill Nighy does things with Davy Jones’ character that you would not have on screen if you’re doing a purely digital character because such characters are basically acted by committee. To that end, performances like this hold up and are still remarked upon by new audiences, and led to things like the new Planet of the Apes series with what are essentially lead actors being played digitally. Love the POTC movies, hope you enjoy At World’s End.

Jen is correct, that actress is the same one who played Francis in Venom Let There Be Carnage

For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️

Man I’d love to see Matt’s reaction to these if he hasn’t seen them yet

This is actually my favorite one. Love all the caracter interactions(Commodore, Elizabeth, Will and his father) and Jack is always the overall highlight. His humor is next level and his sort of caracter has never been replicated as good as Johnny Depp portrays him. I love Mcguffin stories where everyone tries to catch one thing and have the same goal but find different ways of doing it. Thanks and can't wait for the others :)

@24:55 fun fact! it was played for laughs about dumping alcohol, but rum was a sea vessels only drinkable water during voyages. He basically commanded them to dump their only source of water in the middle of the ocean.

The actor that plays bootstrap is the same actor that plays the older guy scientist in the thor movies that was with jane

The game they play on the Flying Dutchman is a real game they made for the movie called Liars Dice and has rules and everything. In the director’s cut they break it down and the scene was actually supposed to be longer but some got cut. They’re on here if anyone’s interested

Some were filmed in the beauty Caribbean islands of St. Vincent and St. Lucia 🙌🏾 I live in Trinidad and Tobago but I have friends in St. Vincent who saw the crew etc. Love the reaction as always

Am I the only one who didn't think the compass was showing what Elizabeth wanted as in love when the compass pointed at Jack? The Ex-comodore said "Don't you wonder how your man ended up on the Flying Dutchman?" at that point Elizabeth's REAL WISH was to find out who was responsible since her wish changed, the compass pointed towards what she was looking for, i.e. the man responsible for Will being on the Dutchman, hence compass pointing at Jack... I might be wrong of course, but that's what I've thought after seeing the movie god knows how many times..

Can’t decide who I prefer Barbossa or Davy Jones. They’re both such good antagonists and are well written/acted

These movies are prime, i’m so happy you guys are watching them

The actor who plays "Bootstrap" Bill Turner also plays in Thor, the Avengers, Mama Mia 1 and 2. Stellan Karsgård, his sons are actors too.

Oh yes, this one was SOOO good. I really miss these 3 films. Still have to add them to my collection, I probably haven´t seen these films in over a decade.....

I do not think the compass pointed to Jack because Elizabeth wanted him. I think it pointed to Jack because the commdore had just said "Didn't you ever wonder how your precious Will wound up there in the first place?" And it pointed to Jack because she wanted the answer more in that moment than she wanted the chest and then after she got the answer it reset to the chest.

From my understanding, when Elizabeth was holding the compass and it pointed to Jack, it was because in her mind, she wanted to know “who was the reason for will being captured”. And since the compass points to what the holder wants (or wants to know), it pointed Jack. And that’s when she realized that Jack had something to do with it.

The triangle sword fight was filmed in Dominca, one of the Caribbean islands. Saw the filming spot when I was there on holiday
