[Confiscative]

– Art: 3/5. Design changes actually annoyed me, as I found the old look more pleasing and I like using pennants. However, limiting how often the ships break is definitely a good thing. In addition, more rounded hull and mast tabs usually make for easier assembly.
The actual artwork was pretty cool and fun to look at. However, a bunch of it was reused from earlier sets, but the biggest problem was the total failure to make the Endeavour, Dauntless, and Interceptor look ANYTHING like the ships from the movies. An inexcusable gaffe that nearly ruins the experience of playing those ships (so silly looking that the excellent Flying Dutchman and Black Pearls don’t make up for it). Notable for introducing the split card colors which stayed until the end. I did enjoy the crew and UT pictures, as it really ties the movies into the game quite well. I think the kraken design and artwork is about as good as could be expected.
– Set Quality: 3/5. Lots of good ships with a few great ones as well. This gave the Pirates and English that many more options (including very nice crew options), which neither of them really needed. I deducted a point for not having other factions, and another point for the OP stuff (mostly Captain Jack Sparrow, but the Endeavour, Cursed Captain Jack and Kraken Gong have all had somewhat detrimental effects on the game).
– New Content: 3/5. Krakens were quite well done overall, as a relatively playable sea creature that effectively incorporated the movie theme. The Parley keyword can be confusing at first and is probably underpriced a little, but it’s definitely a cool addition to the game and another effective movie tie-in. Going a little deeper, this set also introduced a handful of new “1 of 1” game pieces such as CJS, Calypso, the Hai Peng, and Jailhouse Dog. Most of the unique stuff was either confusing or ruined some of the fun, but there’s no denying the importance of those and other game pieces on modern competitive play.
– Collectability/Misc: 3/5. Mostly negatives here unfortunately – a small set is easier to collect (which can be a good thing), and there wasn’t much extra stuff (SE/LE/PR pieces) to get. The real problem was when the distribution went awry, with some packs having all commons, and in extreme cases, “god boxes” full of SR packs. Throw in just 2 factions, and even the PotC name can’t save the set from having major collectibility problems. However, the partnership with Disney was absolutely perfect for a game like Pirates, so the Miscellaneous score is definitely a 2 and could be bumped to a 4/5 overall if you value intangibles more than collectibility (or are just a huge PotC fan heh). Though, the change to a rarity-based checklist was a negative.
= Overall: 12/20. A great effort with Disney’s help, but with some glaring flaws that make the set quite polarizing. here

Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC, 2007) saw Wizkids partner with Disney to produce a movie-themed set, with only the Pirates and English as playable factions. It’s a very unique set, and it changed the design of the ships along with the rarity/numbering scheme. For me it’s a fantastic collaboration that makes perfect sense given how similar DJC and OE already were to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but there are some issues. The lack of a Cursed faction and the collation issues (a whole booster box full of commons, for example) plague the set. Great idea, imperfect execution. You can find all of the game pieces in the Master Spreadsheet, and I’ve ranked the Top 10 here.

All of the amazing illustrators whose work you see between these covers deserve our admiration for their sublime images. In addition, there are many artists who are not showcased here, but contributed mightily to the look of the Pirates films. Conceptual drawings are great for establishing the important broad elements of the world you're designing, but you can't hand an illustration to a carpenter, plasterer, or painter and ask them to build from it, no matter how superb a construction team Greg Callas had. Those unrepresented but equally important souls include art directors, set designers, set decorators, model makers, sculptors, graphic designers, coordinators—in short, all the excellent members of our first rate art department who, during their long tenures over the months and years of production making these films, surely know what the heck I mean when I describe a journey.

These are working drawings, and represent a collection of evidence: evidence from a crime that was vehemently plotted and planned. As you peruse these images, I hope they take you back to those long nights before a frame of film was exposed, when the pages were blank and the empty canvas impatiently waited. For me, that is the wondrous and the strange . the creative process. here

The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean presents a definitive, exclusive look into the preparation and production of the successful movie trilogy. Overflowing with hundreds of full-color images, the book showcases concept drawings, set designs, and costume sketches, as well as the intricate props, set pieces, and even special effects that contribute so much to the Pirates mythology. Even the cover is visually arresting—imitating the leather-covered log of a ship's captain. Also included is special commentary from the unit publicist who was there to see it all. For Pirates fans everywhere, this treasure chest of art and design from the entire movie trilogy is a visual feast that promises hours of endless browsing pleasure.

I did not set out to create a word, but rather to tell a tale, the by-product of which became the world of these three films. The collection of images gathered here represent the spent shells in a battle, or rather clues of a crime scene: There is a context missing, but if you look deeply you can witness the faint echo of a madness that was our collective creative process.

[SawEfDir]

Working with writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and a team of talented and sleep-deprived artists and conceptual engineers, we set out at the confluence of two seemingly opposite yet undeniable facts: the blank page and the release date. We worked in an open format on these films, sharing and debating the story we wanted to tell and how that tale was to be sequenced and dramatized. We had the war room. A bull pen of outlines, ideas, images, and fragments of scenes all moving around in a blur of pins and tape, pencils and brushes, and a healthy waft of sweat and stale coffee.

Each of the images in this book distills past effort and offers up a vision of the future for a motion picture art department— they represent the conclusion of one phase of design and usher in the next. It is an interesting experience now to view them as simply ideas—visualizations that evoke emotional responses and establish environments—that exist in this book as ends unto themselves. As such, they are divorced from the research and exploratory doodles that molded them, just as they are complete without further reference to the finished film. The emotional response of the viewer to them gauges the substantial degree of power they have to evoke feeling and a sense of story. here
