      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.

      I just think of it as a live action Monkey Island.

      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.

      Now when Disney gets their hands on an established franchise full of expectations…
