Pirates of the Caribbean: 5 films to exceed 4 billion dollars!

In 2003, Disney revived public interest in pirate films with Excellent Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Brought then by Johnny DeppOrlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, the film directed by Gore Verbinski quickly became a cult. Visually superb, with the right balance of humour, drama and adventure, the feature film impressed above all thanks to Johnny Depp’s performance. The role of Jack Sparrow has stayed with him ever since, and it’s no surprise that he’s returned in every sequel since.

In fact, with over $654 million in revenue raised worldwide for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black PearlDisney didn’t hesitate long before ordering other films. For the first time we were treated to a trilogy The secret of the cursed chest (2006) e Until the end of the world (2007), carried out by the same trio. The two blockbusters brought in a combined total of almost $2 billion!

So the producers couldn’t stop there, but the audience had to wait to see the rest of the saga. Because it wasn’t until 2011 that Jack Sparrow returned on a solo adventure of sorts The Fountain of Youth (2011), which surpassed $1 billion in global box office receipts. And it took another 6 years for the last tour of the famous pirate, Salazar’s Revenge (2017).

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 : one last complicated adventure for Jack Sparrow

If the audience has always been there for films Pirates of the Caribbean, Salazar’s Revenge remains one of the least appreciated. Only with 60% favorable opinions from the public ON Rotten tomatoesonly surpasses its predecessor, The secret of the cursed chest, favorable opinions blocked at 54%. It’s a shame, because on paper the feature film had something to convince. Particularly with the presence of a new character, Carina Smyth, played very well Kaya Scodelario.

In the film we find Jack who will have to face an old enemy, the terrible Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), who escaped from the Bermuda Triangle. If he wants to get out of this, Jack will have to get his hands on it Poseidon’s trident which allows you to control the seas. And this is where Carina comes in. The brilliant astronomer is initially accused of witchcraft due to her knowledge. But after escaping hanging thanks to the intervention of Will’s son Henry (Brenton Thwaites), she helps Sparrow reach this mythical object.

There are a lot of good ideas in there Pirates of the Caribbean 5both in story and visually, with crazy sequences. But everything remains irregular. The fault, certainly, of his chaotic shooting. First, the directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, who had considered the issue a diptych to tell this adventure, in the end, he had to settle for a single film. The production ran out of time and money, and filming was postponed several times. Then again, Johnny Depp would have been very difficult to manage on set, sometimes arriving drunk. This is also when the star’s relationship with Amber Heard took a turn for the worse. The latter accused him of domestic violence, which gave rise to a highly publicized defamation trial.
