I love how Jack anticipated that stealing the map was going to annoy Barbossa but didn't anticipate Barbossa would steal the black pearl thr first chance he got
What you didn't notice and neither did I till now is at 3:47 when he opens the compass to point to what he wants. It points to the bottle of rum which he picks up to trick the compass which operates on what the holder wants to point the way to go and not to the rum.
@@mayronsting5627 that makes sense, taking the map was an insurance policy, he'd be I have the map and the pearl, but if I know Barbossa to be himself and take the pearl I'd have the map 😉
You think Jack used to say this to Barbossa when Barbossa was Jack's first mate? Then Barbossa took that advice to heart? It would explain his behavior
They ripped off the idea from Cutthroat Island, where a British lieutenant who's been on the wrong side all along has a change of heart and joins the pirates at the last minute, although it was way more unexpected and appropriate than this.
@@sarthakiii I personally enjoyed Stranger Tides despite Angelicas weird... completely unnecessary sudden feelings for heer father, and blackbeard being the most stupid idiot in the entire movie. At least Jack was still mostly jack unlike the fifth movie!
@@elliotwintersdemanagabei9437 Well yes On stranger tides was good but it didn't just have the same feeling like the trilogy. Totally new characters, a totally new mission. Well yes, a change would be good but it wasn't executed well.
I love the symmetry of the trilogy: most people don’t see how clever this scene was written We’re ending the trilogy with Jack exactly how he entered the first film: alone, on a small ship, with a bottle of rum and a dream over the horizon.
i was one of the many people YOU speak of that didnt see it! you are so smart that you can see and understand the amazing writing and directing of this movie trilogy. You are clearly one step above us and need to be praised!
@@sobeksuwek I don’t like it excaty because of that. Magic of the seas shouldn’t be bonded to one single material thing. This was the whole concept of Calypso. Sea is mysterious and cruel itself. Mystery and magic were already declining as it was said in the previous movies. It should be go on like that and got weaker over time as the seas got explored and that mystery fade away rather than “Oi there is a magical item that causes all of this and we destroyed it, now there is no magic!” kind of stuff.
@@sobeksuwek magic wasn't removed from the sea, just the CURSES. Curses such as the Curse of Davy Jones, the Curse of the Aztec Gold, Salazar's Crew to be free, so on, so forth. That doesn't stop sea monsters or calypso from existing.
Well, him and Ernest Shackleton. And the infamous Captain Bligh did a fine job as well, 3600 nautical miles in an open boat. He may have been a butt, but he was a competent seaman.
@@plummet3860 i consider the 4th & 5th movies to be a new trilogy the first three focus on the black pearl and its history that include jacl deal with davy jones
The sequels would probably been better if they were their own pirates movies and not part of the Pirates of the Caribbean universe (if I recall, On Stranger Tides is mostly based of a book that Disney decided to put Jack in and adding the magical sword of Blackbeard)
I think 4 5 work better if Will and Elizabeth were still part of the films yea they made cameos in 5 but still they didn’t work I think prequels would have worked better showing Jack and Barbosa’s early days
This is the true ending. Jack Sparrow was the kind of guy who acted like he wasn't paying attention but always was. He began in a dinghy that was sinking and ends with a dinghy, some rum and a destination.
This is the Jack Sparrow I remember. The one who was always a step ahead of his rivals/enemies. The one who always manipulated the situation into his favor. And even when he loses, he wins. The last two movies did the character so wrong. I miss witty Jack.
Jack is the most jack he's ever been in the 4th. The issue there wasn't Jack. It's that it wasn't a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, not really. It was Jack in there, but it wasn't a story Jack should've been a part of
@@gamergilbert4438 4th movie clearly suffers in 2nd and 3rd acts with underwhelming new characters. Blackbeard, his minions, Penelope Cruz, Elizabeth/Will 2.0 in form of guy and mermaid. Add to it also this bland cinematography which feels like recording of theater performance rather than blockbuster movie. Would also add near utter lack of actual sea in movie about pirates of the seas. How the hell this movie costed some 100 millions $ more than At World's End is mind-boggling. Still, movie has solid elements, in wide contrast to 5th one. Jack is still Jack, especially in London segment. Barbossa revenge arc was solid. Mine own favourite though were the Spaniards. Chads from the begging to the end and one of the best example of bait antagonist I ever seen.
Unfortunately, it's always how it ends nowadays. Companies either end a series on a good not (rarely/never) or milk it for quick cash while destroying characters with lazy/unrealistic writing that changes them. They're like pirates really, take what you can, never give back.
It's not as bad as you think. Keep ye wits about ya. Keep the sticks dry and the wet part wet and you'll be fine. (Took a 4 day trip in one. 2 days down river and 2 days south along the Gulf coast of Florida. )
I can name plenty of reasons why Jack deserves to be Captain of the Black Pearl and Barbossa doesn’t. 1) Jack was willing to go after his ship, Barbossa only steals ships. 2)Jack hires his own faithful crew, Barbossa just steals someone else’s crew. 3) Jack is willing to help others, including his crew, Barbossa just leaves others, including his own crew to die. 4) Jack is nicer to his crew, Barbossa threatens and treats his crew terribly. 5) And finally, Jack went down with his ship in Dead Man’s Chest, Barbossa didn’t even stay in the bottle with the Pearl, like a real captain would do. So therefore the real Captain of the Black Pearl is Captain Jack Sparrow.
Do you count going down with the ship when the kraken sunk the black Pearl? Hear me out. Elizabeth left Jack to die on the Pearl so when Jack saw beasty (the kraken) he accepted his fate and stared death in the face. I don't think he went down with the ship I think he just had nothing to lose and wanted to get it over with, makes since because if I knew that death was coming makes since to get it over with than not to suffer.
That sounds like 5 reasons Barbossa should be the captain of the Black Pearl and Jack shouldn’t. These guys are pirates, Jack is too nice of a guy to be a proper pirate. Pirates respect or fear power, usually you want a crew that gives you a mix of both. Barbossa is far more cutthroat and following him will usually have you following the winner in a fight. Barbossa also know that you pick your battles and is willing to acknowledge when something is lost. Jack’s obsession with the Black Pearl is a huge weakness. A great commander will know when the battle is lost and withdraw.
@@tunasandwich8049 oh my gash! That's a really good attention to detail! So many times I've watched these movies and never did I notice it. Good eye mate!
Jack Sparrow and Johnny Depp are indistinguishable as a person or a role. Jack Sparrow without Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp without Captain Jack Sparrow are unthinkable. Johnny Depp essentially turned Captain Jack Sparrow into a hero nobody needs but everyone wants.
This was the perfect ending, but for me was very frustrating the fact that Jack lost the Pearl again, I mean, the first was all about Jack recovering his stolen ship, the second was him running away the consecuences of having the pearl in first place and then the third, it wasn't related to Jack's ownership of the Pearl, but also was a consecuence of him having his ship (he would left in peace Jones's heart, then the Royal Navy would never been in control of jones and Jack would remained alive because no debt had to be payed with his soul in first place). So him losing again the ship got me with a sour taste, in that aspect, the fifth got a sweeter taste at the end, but sadly was crap.
he came into the franchise on a sinking little boat, just like the one he's now sailing on the high sea at the end i think it's the perfect conclusion, the black pearl is only a mean of transportation for him
@@Codex_0613 it's more than that, for him, the meaning of the Pearl is freedom. He even says that "a ship isn't only a keel, tree masts and sails, it's the freedom It represents, It is what the Pearl represents" The trilogy started with him un a boat, so if he grew up, he must need a ship
@@teixeirastreet a better ending would be barbossa and jack both captaining the pearl like that one scene in the movie, but this time they'd be accepting eachother. And then the black pearl would sail away in the distance.
I’m sure the pearl was somewhere moored and not directly tied to the dock, otherwise it would’ve been weird why jacks dingy was there. (which is used to get to the ship and to the harbour)
The moment when Barbossa opens the map and there|s just a cut out hole where the map should be, and everyone just knows what has happened, has to go down as one of the greatest moments in movie-history
You know, cliffhanger aside, this was an epic ending for Pirates of the Caribbean and I wish they had kept it like that. Granted, if Gore Verbinski has stuck around to work on On Stranger Tides, then maybe, just maybe it would've been a worthwhile effort to see the whole cast return. But it was just sad to see the legacy of POTC be turned into some kind of hollow shell of its former self with On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales. To me, this franchise ended with At World's End, and it will stay that way unless the finale for the current trilogy seeks to say otherwise.
@@joshuakevinserdan9331 On Stranger Tides is based on a book with the same name, but it's not a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean universe, which is probably why it wasn't that good, because they decided to shoehorn Jack, Gibbs and Barbossa in it, when it would probably have worked better as its own franchise. It's like they believed we wouldn't watch pirates movies if it isn't Pirates of the Caribbean
Had they not made the subsequent films, most of us would have been asking for them as with a 4th Indiana Jones and so on that we eventually got. While I do still prefer the first 3 Pirate films, I'd still watch the latter two over the 4th Indiana Jones again.
@@thea-holegamerandfriends6754 I have to disagree with this. Because bringing back Indiana Jones with Steven Spielberg at the helm is a lot different than what Disney did with POTC 4 and 5. They changed the entire theme of the franchise to be more campy and goofy when the original trilogy was actually dark and gritty. They changed the director who actually knew what he was doing. So, like I said, completely different, which is why I’m not looking forward to IJ 5, because Spielberg will not be directing.
POTC will never be the same without the real captain...Gore. Without him, the franchise has never been the same, and with Depp now removed its all but dead.
This is the end of the trilogy. It's should be up to the viewers to make up what happens next. Did Jack find the fountain of youth? Was it still there? Did Jack have a change of heart and help Barbossa and his crew find it? Did Will help the souls on board the Dutchman pass on? That's up to you.
1:17 I remember watching the movies and being utterly confused as to why he mentioned Brussels. That city was totally unimportant during this period, especially from a nautical point of view. Bruges and Ghent were the regional centers at the time. I know I'm looking too deep into this but I still wonder what the story behind that is, who put that in the script and why.
Ok….that’s what I thought, especially with his quote at the ending of on stranger tides “and who’s to say I won’t live forever mate, discoverer of the fountain of youth…I have no say in it gibbs, it’s a pirates life for me, savvy!” (Feel like he has been there before and just likes to act dumb and have fun)
I think this ending is just saying that Jacks story continues, I love how Barbossa leaves Gibbs’s behind because he has Jacks back through thick and thin
Lmao Barbosa feeding Jack the peanut. I only just realized but thats the peanut that Jack was fighting for qith himself while in davy Jones locker lmao.
I know people say the trilogy ended here, but it's not like we didn't want to see more of Captain Jack Sparrow. I was happy to see him again, especially in On stranger's tides.
At Worlds End was the CANON ENDING to Pirates of the Caribbean . Strangers Tides is a great Epilogue that gives us an insight to his further adventures and cements their future paths. Deadmen can be chalked up as Jacks drunken dream .
It should have ended here. This would have been the best way to do it. An open ended ending if you will. With whatever happens between left up to your imagination.
Those two guys in the back have had one hell of a career the past few years. Went from a soldier in the British army, to a company PMC for the East India Company, and now to a pirate. What a ride
Woman "its not that big" Sparrow " Love that is a dingy, my vessel is magnificent and fierce and huggish " We all know that's not the description of his ship lmao
me: it's sad that this is the end of the movies, i wish they made more. my friend who hasn't watched any PotC movies but knows about them from my ranting: actually there's tw- me: *SLAPS FRIEND* me: I SAID! it's sad that this is the end of the movies, i wish they made more. my friend: but there are m- me: *SLAPS FRIEND* me: DO YOU WANT MORE PAIN! my friend: no, so stop slapping me me: THAN DON'T MENTION THOSE ABOMINATIONS! me: now, as i was saying, it's sad that this is the end of the movies, i wish they made more.
I partially believe Jack doesn't mind Barbossa taking the ship because he knows the ship would still do fine under Barbossa, but still took the map to annoy him. Can't have an adventure if you don't know where you're going.
You know, this ending is almost identical to the Roman Polanski movie "Pirates", from 1986: The two lovers are separated, the main character(s) are sailing in the middle of the ocean on a small dinghy, with nothing for themselves except for a gingle great treasure, the Map for Cpt Jack, and the Gold Throne for Cpt Red.
I agree with many commentators that this is the true ending of Pirates Of the Caribbean - a trilogy that showed Hollywood and the world that the pirate trope was and is in fact not dead. The two sequels were good but unnecessary. And I believe the fountain of youth and Blackbeard could have been handled better, especially the latter one. Still I enjoyed this trilogy and hope that one day, another story will find its way to the big screen (or small screen, considering our situation).
The 2 later antagonists while intimidating, did not live up to Jones. Black Beard was made a coward who tried to flee from death and Salazar is just being a dead man.
This for me is the perfect ending, a real emotional moment where we're left with Jack on his own, sailing off to wherever his sense of adventures takes him as the music swells and the sun sets.
The legend of Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbosa is one big ouroboros symbol. Jack loses the Pearl to Barbosa while Barbosa is pursuing some massive treasure, and Jack looks for the Pearl wherever Barbosa would likely appear next.
