I also lost count of how many times Jack Sparrow is the helpless captive of both the British and the pirates, and escapes from the chains/brig/noose/island.Īnd yet the movie made me grin at times, and savor the daffy plot, and enjoy the way Depp and Rush fearlessly provide performances that seem nourished by deep wells of nuttiness. It's fun at first to see a pirate swordfight, but eventually it gets to the point where the sword-clashing, yardarm-swinging and timber-shivering get repetitious.
Yes? The only reason I bring this up is that the battle scenes actually feel as if they go on forever. Excuse me for supplying logic where it is manifestly not wanted, but doesn't that mean there's no point in fighting them? There's a violent battle at one point between the Black Pearl crew and sailors of the Royal Navy, and unless I am mistaken the sailors would all eventually have to be dead because the skeletons could just keep on fighting forever, until they won. Now here's the important part: Because they're already dead, they cannot be killed. By day they look like normal if dissolute humans, but by the light of the moon, they're revealed as skeletal cadavers.
Barbossa and his crew then ran afoul of an ancient curse that turned them into the Undead. Barbossa (Rush), who led a mutiny aboard Sparrow's pirate ship, the Black Pearl, and left Capt. Jack Sparrow (Depp) has a deep hatred for Capt. Pointless? See if you can follow me here.
