Why Pirates Of The Carribean is the best swashbuckler Hollywood movie-series to watch
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved watching swaggering and daring soldier- or adventurer-themed movies. But of all these films that I’ve seen, Pirates Of The Carribean will always be the best swashbuckler Hollywood movie-series I can re-watch all over again.
Why Pirates Of The Carribean is the best swashbuckler Hollywood movie-series to watch
Of all these swaggering and daring soldier- or adventurer-themed films that I’ve seen, Pirates Of The Carribean will always be the best swashbuckler Hollywood movie-series I can re-watch all over again. Here’s why:
Quirky characters
Pirates of the Caribbean uses quirky characters to tell the story of the film, from Jack Sparrow to Ragetti, Pintel, and the savage pirate Captain Hector Barbossa.
This film balanced Jack Sparrow’s quirky energy with Will Turner’s traditionally classic hero character. Their odd but complementing combination will immerse you on the film’s story line.
Perfect casting
Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are among the most legendary movie actors of this generation. No one could’ve played Captain Jack Sparrow better than Johnny Depp. The moves, lines and traits were all perfect. It was like Depp was born to star as Jack Sparrow in this movie.
As for Keira Knightly, the character of a grumpy aristocratic governor’s daughter and the wild pirate was well-played. Her acting skills meshed perfectly with the blacksmith William Turner, who later joined the Sparrow crew.
Bloom did a great job in giving justice to Will Turner’s character, a blacksmith with pirate blood and a good heart. The entire cast fits together so well, and you can see that clearly in the film.
Exemplary wardrobe and Sfx
One of the many things I love about Pirates of the Caribbean is the wardrobe and special effects. They weren’t the typical pirate costumes you can buy at your local Halloween costume store.
With historical elements from a real pirate’s wardrobe incorporated into the costume, every pirate fan will want to dress up like Jack Sparrow. Weapons, swords, cannons, animals and other accessories worn by the characters were a perfect match and enhanced the overall effects of the film.
Special effects also made the plot of the film even more exciting. There were some amazing special effects throughout the film series like the skeleton crew, octopus beards, and Bootstrap Bill Turner.
Your unconventional pirate
Jack Sparrow’s character was pretty unconventional from the usual pirates we grew up with watching movies. Sparrow’s distinctive pirate style brought a new take on an already superannuated genre.
In this movie, Jack plays a cunning troublemaker who breaks the rules on his own. He’s the perfect combination of comedian and cold-blooded pirate. This also resonates with his famous catchphrase,
“You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.”
Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Sparrow’s character has elements of kindness, cunning, cleverness and resourcefulness. From a completely selfish and ruthless pirate, he transforms into a pirate who cares about others while maintaining his attitude as a ringleader pirate.
In my opinion, Jack Sparrow is plausibly one of the greatest Disney characters of all time.
You will always remember this movie that made Johnny Depp a superstar and almost won an Oscar. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t win (but I still wish he did, tho), because he made this one of the best swashbuckler, pirate-themed movies of all time!
