Johnny Depp is apparently out as Jack Sparrow with a new lead actor and character being eyed for what looks to be a reboot – Karen Gillan is one name in the mix to head up the new movie.
The final movie in the original series with a reboot now seemingly on the way, the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film (which has a different name depending on where you are in the world) did not do much to reignite the love that casual fans of the series once had. A lacklustre plot that has been frequently described as incoherent is the main issue many have with Dead Men Tell No Tales but given that it now looks certain that this was the swansong for Jack Sparrow, it remains worth a watch if you want to experience the whole adventure.
But if you’ve got a hankering to rewatch the original movies, or you’re a newbie looking to experience them for the first time, the good news is that Pirates is a pretty accessible franchise, with the five movies so far all being released in chronological order. here
With many growing frustrated with the direction Pirates of the Caribbean had taken by the end of the third film, hope was high that the fourth, On Stranger Tides, would set things right. Most of the cast had been jettisoned for a fresh start and while there are some that thought this was the revamp the series needed, the general consensus is that it did not do enough of a course correction and as such was still greeted with a lukewarm reception when it was released.
Here’s the correct order in which to watch them all, and where you can stream them, if you feel in the mood for some rum loving pirate action.
Dead Man’s Chest, while a step down from The Curse of the Black Pearl, is still a great deal of fun at times with some truly exceptional moments sprinkled throughout the bloated running time. But the fun is certainly not as consistent as what came before and a lot of the time it feels like a movie that is lacking purpose. Still, Bill Nighy as Davy Jones makes it all worthwhile in a performance that even rivals Depp’s. here
