A franchise with more downs than ups...
Five movies and $4.5 billion at the box office, pound for pound and dollar for dollar, movie franchises do not come more successful than Pirates of the Caribbean.
We watch on as Geoffrey Rush's Hector Barbossa, Orlando Bloom's Will Turner, Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Swann, Naomi Harris's Tia Dalma, and the surviving crew of Jack Sparrow's ship, The Black Pearl plot to rescue Jack from a terminal curse. But to find him, they will literally have to sail off the edge of the world.
Javier Bardem does a passable job of playing Salazar, but the spectre of Deep constantly running away from CGI zombies across a series of beaches gets sillier and sillier as the movie goes on. The plot is wafer-thin and is far too long at over two hours. After the final instalment of the trilogy made $960 million at the box office, Disney naturally found a way to keep things going.
The follow-up to 2003's gigantic debut, The Curse of the Black Pearl, does not quite have its predecessor's swagger or cohesion, but it's a good rip-roaring adventure all the same. 2003's original movie is the franchise's undoubted high. It is a rip-roaring, supremely entertaining and coherent blockbuster, packed with laughs, thrills and real pace.
