Pirates of the Caribbean 5

When I was younger, I watched everything from the Princesses, Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Pirates of the Caribbean.  I didn’t limit myself to the girly movies, I wanted to watch everything my brother did.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve seen Johnny Depp in almost every role imaginable.  He can play the crazy Mad Hatter in Alice and Wonderland,  the gangster in Public Enemies, and a strange boy in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?  Since I gre up watching Pirates of the Caribbean and that’s one of my favorite Disney movie series, I really like him as the insane Captian Jack Sparrow.  The first movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, came out in 2003 and the fifth movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales is coming out in 2017 and I’m excited.


I really liked the first movie when everyone is introduced in 2003.  You meet Captain Jack Sparrow and follow him as he gets in trouble and meets new people.  I liked the setting of the movie and the time it took place.  I also think its ties in adventure with humor and love.  Pretty good plot for a movie, huh?  The first movie made $305,413,918 in Domestic Total Gross and worldwide $654,264,015.
I like how they keep the same characters from the first movie to the second.  In the 2006 film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, you meet a new villain and find out more about everyone.  The same characteristic of love, action, and humor tie into this movie, much like the first.  This movie made $423,315,812 in Domestic Total Gross and worldwide $1,006,179,725.  It did even better than the first movie, which isn’t surprising. 
The third movie ends the tale for some of the characters, but the story isn’t done.  I like how they get some new people and change the love interests, otherwise the stories would get old and we wouldn’t be working to this fifth movie.  The story changes up a bit and there is some good action within the movie.  This movie made more than the first, but less than the second.  Its Domestic Total Gross was $309,420,425 and worldwide $963,420,425.  This movie was released in 2007.
The fourth movie came a bit later than expected, but I think the third movie was supposed to be the end.  The 2011 movie was a different story and a new love story and villain was introduced.  The movie did well, but less than the others with a Domestic Total Gross of $241,071,802.  The worldwide amount was $1,045,713,802.  Even then, the story doesn’t end.
I also really like the soundtracks for each movie.  The keep to a theme and when I hear a song from any of the movies, I know its Pirates.

The fifth one planned for 2017 I believe will be the final movie in the Pirates series.  The movies have done really well to make it this far.
