So my question that I’ve never quite understood, is why once Will Turner becomes captain of the Flying Dutchman couldn’t Elizabeth just get on a ship and go meet Will to kind of circumvent the every 10 years rule? I wonder this because we see several times in the movie where Will himself or Jack or even the East India trading company has men on the Dutchman itself that aren’t dead nor dying so it doesn’t seem to be an issue that once you get on the Dutchman, you have to give up your soul. So why couldn’t Elizabeth from time to time just pop in between the Dutchman doing its business fairing souls to the next world?

The Pirates of the Caribbean is a franchise I have heard about but never checked out for years. This was mainly due to me hearing that the first movie being the only good one while the others were alright. After I’ve seen people consider the trilogy, aka the first three movies to be underrated this got me curious enough to be checking it out, and I enjoyed the trilogy. Now that I have seen all five movies, I want to know the opinions on this subreddit on how the trilogy would be ranked.
My ranking: Dead Man’s Chest > Curse of the Black Pearl > At World’s End.

The movie was released on May 20, 2011 and grossed $1.045 billion worldwide, which made it at the time the 6th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind Avatar 1, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings 3, Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 2). It's now the 50th highest-grossing movie in the world and the 49th without re-releases. It's also the 3rd highest-grossing movie of 2011 (behind Harry Potter 8 and Transformers 3). It was also the 8th movie in history to gross $1 billion (after Titanic, The Lord of the Rings 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, The Dark Knight, Avatar 1, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3), the 4th Disney movie to do so (after Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3), the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean movie to do so (after Pirates of the Caribbean 2), which made Pirates of the Caribbean the 1st franchise in history to have 2 movies gross $1 billion and the 1st of 3 movies of 2011 to gross $1 billion (followed by Harry Potter 8 and Transformers 3), which made 2011 the 1st year in history to have 3 movies gross $1 billion. This is the most nostalgic Pirates of the Caribbean movie to me. This is probably the one that made me a fan of the franchise

To be honest, while I love Jack, he is not necessarily the series, as it's Pirates and not Jack Sparrow of the Caribbean.

It's kinda like how StarWars has this huge universe and timeline but they only deal with Luke and Anakin storylines, there's so much more.

Madam Cheng comes to mind, who historically had the largest pirate coalition in history or perhaps Francis Drake of Drake's passage, could easily work in the supernatural aspect of PotC has in each movie.

Honestly I felt like the first trilogy was great and 4 and especially 5 just were mediocre, partly because it just felt like same crap different toilet at that point.

It wasn't just Jack, it was Will and Elizabeth and Barbossa and Beckett and so on.

There's no reason they can't do other pirates as well instead of relying on nostalgia of Jack and crew, like they did with StarWars and ending up flipping because it lacks all originality.

Not to mention how I think Johnny Depp is done with hollywood, Kiera Knightley I think is tired of the movies as well, they have to think of something new or let the IP die.

Hallo guys 👋👋 I just rewatched pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 and 3 and enjoyed soo much, especially the third it was a lot since I enjoyed a movie like this! So now my legit question Is being, are the two sequels worth it? Or do I better leave it at this cause they would 'ruin' the epicity? Thank you ✌️

Can anyone give me the link? I’ve seen a Lego version and I think there was an movie version too

Sure it'd be trial and error, but he does have the pretty accurate drawing. Unless the key and chest are supernaturally locked.
