Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales- Trailers.

Post by The Romulan Republic »

So, we're due for another Pirates film this spring. Looks like pretty much more of the same, but really, the series is pretty much just a pretext for Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush to be awesome opposite each other, with pseudo-17th. Century Caribbean scenery porn as a backdrop, and it looks like it will probably deliver that much at least.

Plus Javier Bardem as a villain.

One of the trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3wJjLXjySg

Edit: Oh, and nice choice of song for the trailer. :D

Also, is that Spoiler
the return of Will and the Flying Dutchman to the franchise I see?

Why does that shark have a ribcage? :lol:

That may or may not be the Dutchman; the new villain will likely also have a ghost ship given the apparent theme.
It's Rogue, not Rouge!

God, I can't stand Anton Chirruh. He always comes off as goofy when he's trying to be menacing. Great job Disney, get the guy who ruined the anniversary Bond movie as your person to revitalize the franchise.

I think he's a "love it or hate it" sort of actor, because he tends to play all his villains that way, and while the dissonance between the goofiness and the menacing can be effectively creepy- well, it either works for you or it doesn't.

Also, my favourite Youtube comment on the trailer:

"imma torrent this movie. #pirateslife" :D

If serious, well, I don't approve of the advocating criminal acts, but as a joke, I've got to admit that that's pretty funny.

It'd be great of Javier Bardem in the new Pirates is still Silva in Skyfall, like in plot.

The same rat speech and, IDK, killing Davey Jones/Will Turner, getting himself imprisoned in the Dutchman to fulfill his MASTER PLAN, so Jack takes Johnny Depp or Kiera KNightley or Barbarossa back to the island cave in Black Pearl. We can even see the Pirate Lords give Jack a psychiatric evaluation and instead of the trigger word "Skyfall" it's "Black Pearl."

Glorious. Or he could be the killer from No Country for Old Men.

Using the Kraken to spew water and kill, but like with huge water blasts that just tear people apart completely.

And he's kind of dragging the Kraken with him everywhere, leaving a trail of slime.

And Jack Sparrow is just too old for this shit.

Well, let's look at Javier's backstory, as far as we've seen.

Pirate Hunter, and a damn good one. Chases one ship, captained(?) by a young Jack Sparrow, close to a rocky island. Jack, at the wheel of the pirate ship, uses his Magic Compass to find the safe route through the reef, leading Javier's ship. Jack wheels his ship about, and Javier's ship barrels right into the worst of the island's rocks.

Now... why did it take this long for Javier to 'wake' and come after Jack? We'll have to see, just as we'll have to see if the young man with Jack is Will Turner's son from the last movie. We also need to see what the Girl has to do with Javier's resurrection, as they are after her for some reason as well. Jack's Daughter by one of his many dalliances, perhaps?

It would be interesting, if perhaps a tad soap-operaish, if Will and Jack's families ended up united in holy matrimony. :D

Which is why I suggested the possibility. It also adds a touch of "OMG I just oogled my daughter" to complicate Jack's life. :angelic:

Yeah, probably not.

I'm just glad they're apparently going to have ship battles again, unlike On Stranger Tides. Why in God's name would you do a big budget Holywood film about pirates and not have a ship-to-ship battle?
