Haven't watched these movies in years. Are they worth a day marathon?
>>217037598the first two are goodrest are shit
>>217037598Yeah, but I only like three of them. Looking back, At World’s End really sucks. It insists upon itself.1>2>4>3>5
Damn, blockbusters hit so different back then. And actors looked like stars instead of ugly DEI hires
>>217037628At World's End really filtered midwits with its bigger focus on on philosophical themes
>>217037598too many white "people", wouldn't recommend unless you have a vomit bag handy
>>217037598Aye.
>>2170375981-3 yeahskip 45 was okay
>>217037650You're a midwit if you think that a kid’s movie is deep.
>>217037598rock the original trilogy, it is still fantastic. the third one drags a bit but the climax of jack and davy jones dueling 1v1 on the prow of a ship as it circles a massive maelstrom is a high water mark of hollywood and occupies a very rare tier of spectacle reserved for stuff like the charge of the rohirrim in RotK. it is simply unbelievably fucking epic in the truest sense of the word
>>217037598The first one is great because it's literally just Secret of Monkey Island
>>217037736kids movies are objectively the deepest, we just see it anymore because ages 6-12 are peak human intellect, after that we all turn to retards
>>217037650Aw cute the pseudo intellect thinks he's smart
>>217037598HELL YEAHI'd say just do the trilogy.The biggest issue I have is, what's the best torrent for potc? The remaster is ASSSSS so I dunno what to download.
>>217037598first one is great, lightning in a bottle.next to are kind of meh, Davy Jones scenes are good but that's about it.
>>217037598First one is still incredible. Second one is very good but not as good as the first. Third really goes downhill.>>217037650At World's End has some good parts, but it is extremely bloated and turned Davy Jones into a non-threatening errand boy which was annoying
>>217037598>first one is the best, classic popcorn blockbuster (maybe the best blockbuster ever made) and enjoyable kino, even on your shittiest day>second one is surprisingly really, really, really fucking good and on contention with it equaling the first>third movie is a good end but the charm was beginning to end, and the CGI slop was really starting to take hold (not Davy Jones)>fourth was forgettable and ass, but had good sets (probably because it is the most expensive blockbuster ever made) and at least has a hot chick>fifth is full on CGI slop, only good part is "JAHS PAAARROO" as a meme, nothing about this movie was memorable or goodAny more movies that are added to the franchise will inevitably be shit, since Hollywood will not hire actual talented people to make them anymore since they're in a union a lot of the time (except the junk writers), and they'll just go for SAAR-computer graphics instead since it pays peanut crumbs, and the budgeting/inflation is out of whack in these blockbuster budgets anymore.
>>217037598Why did people not like the fourth one I remember thinking it was alright back in 2011
>>217037868The Pirates movies' work better as an ensemble cast, not an individual story like the 4th one did for Jack Sparrow, and it ended up hurting the story.
stop talking like these are a series. only the first one was any good.
>>217037916yeah this, jack needs a capable straight-man character to play off, he doesnt work great as the lone lead.
1-2-3 is a great marathon. 4 is funny but detached and a bit dull, 5 is shit.3 is underrated, it's true that it downplays Davy Jones a lot, but Beckett was a great third faction villain, unlike other modern movies where they force the army/navy/government plots alongside the monsters, and it always fails.Also you can fap to every single Keira scene, and there's a lot of them.
>>217037598The trilogy's damn great. Crazy that back in the day people were filtered by 2 and 3, even if 1 is still the best one.
>>217037990yea 4 is pretty lame but 5 is dog shit. for some reason, they decided to reduce sparrow to a literal bumbling fool with 0 guile or cunning>>217038027dead man's chest is probably my favourite actually. i like the quarrels between the main characters and it's probably the strongest of all the pirate movies thematically3 has some pacing problems but it's still pretty good, plus keira is cute in the pirate get up
>>217037614Fippy fucken bippy
>>217037598Trilogy is ludokino and mogs anything produced in the past decade.4th is not as good, it's well made but it's boring AF. Blackbeard is boring as shit, and Angelica was an entirely pointless character. The priest/siren plotline is unironically the only decent part in it.5th is trash, but it's delicious trash, with a couple poorly executed yet great ideas, and an amazing villain performance that deserved to be in a better film.
>>217037758That's Curse of Monkey Island though
I wanted to fuck Tia Dalma so hard
>>217037758The original trilogy as a whole kind of is. I think it's in Dead Man's Chest, that Jack is at some point inside a coffin, busts out, and uses part of a skeleton as a paddle to row, for example.
>>217037758>>217038712>>217038727Yeah, the games and movies are based on the same ride
>>217037598They are unironicaly one of the best swashbuckling movies ever made. First trilogy is goated.
>>217037786YIFY of course A10/V10 at only 800mb size, AND they are government approved.
>>217037990Beckett was excellent villain, he barged into story and completely uprooted fairy tale ending of first movie, pretty much exactly as it would happen.
>>217037990>>217038980I honestly really like how the big omnipotent bad that was Jones had a weakness that a powerless chump like Beckett could exploit to be in control.The shifting power/allegiances is what make the 3rd movie great, feels like everyone has some kind of advantage over someone else, and they keep leveraging that to chase their own personal goals, instead of it just being all good guys VS the one big bad just because he's the big bad.
>>217038980Beckett, Jones and Barbossa are all excellent antagonistsFFS I can't cook or talk to my dog without doing a Davey Jones impression>do yeeew feeyur (thing)?
>>217037598They are great and way better than today's blockbuster.1st is a phenomenal pirate adventure film, 2nd and 3rd are better experienced back to back. The trilogy as a whole is pretty fun.4th is actually a bit underrated, Jack actually feels like a main character here, it's not as grand compared to its predecessors but still enjoyable. 5th is dogshit, don't even bother with it.
>>217038778that ride is comfy as fuck always loved it
>>217039229>5th is dogshit, don't even bother with it.I think it's fun just to see Salazar. If he had been in 4 instead of Blackbeard it'd have been a perfect film. I also liked the story/closure they tried to give Barbossa even if the execution of it was kinda shit. The soft-reset at the ending I thought was also a decent idea, shame they never followed it up. Rest of the actual movie I agree is shit. Apparently there was some original cut that was way better, but we'll never get it.
