Yeee
Arrrgh! Tis time to re-release The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy! New to Disney Blu-ray is the Pirates of the Caribbean film series
that captured the attention of audiences across the world…or at least the
closest port.
The films
have been reviewed multiple times on this site already and there is not much
left to say, but one thought does come to mind when watching the 3 films all
together. There is such a thing as too
much Captain Jack Sparrow. There is no
doubt that Johnny Depp’s Keith Richard inspired character was grounding
breaking and insanely creative, but after three films of a ‘rock star’ pirate
captain, the viewer has had enough. The
first Pirates film had several
elements that made it an overall excellent picture, whereas the second two
films were out to sea without any wind on their sails.
Pirates of the Caribbean – The
Curse of the Black Pearl for one has the ability to be a standalone film without any previous
or future expectations. The film was
exciting, captivating, and brought pirate films back to mainstream cinema. But the main feature that the first film had
was a balanced use of its characters, especially Johnny Depp’s Jack
Sparrow. When watching the second and
third films the viewer suddenly realizes that Jack is kind of annoying and
whereas the audience was only given tastes of the scoundrel in the first film,
the over inundation of the Jack Sparrow persona can make anyone sea sick. This is not to say that the character wasn’t
amazingly portrayed, it was just a bit much.
The
compact new release of all three Pirates
films is not an upgrade as far as picture, sound and extras; but exists more so
for those who have yet to add these swashbuckling adventures to their
collection or for those just looking to save a little space on their
shelf. The picture, sound and extras
have been adequately analyzed in previous reviews on this site; please follow
