The first one was fairly clever in that they had probably 50 years of collective ideas and inspiration to work off of. It’s a story that needed to push no boundaries and hold to established tropes, with no expectations because it was a ride: perfect for Disney.

Originally, Pirates of the Caribbean. A movie made because of a Disney ride seemed like a stupid idea.
Johnny Depp fucking carries that franchise.
He nailed Jack sparrow so damn hard I can’t picture anyone else in that role. It sets the pace of the movie too.
Wait…the movie is based on the ride, not the other way around?
They updated the ride after the movies, so… It’s kind of circular at this point.
Dude, way to make me feel old lol.
I just think of it as a live action Monkey Island.
Does that actually work? I have only played the 1st 20 minutes of Monkey Island lol
