The Reel Rejects - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES (2017) IS A SPECTACLE OF FUN!! MOVIE REVIEW!!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Let's go to the movie. We are watching this. We bought it on Prime. So let's go. Three, two, one. I clicked it. All right. Let's go to if you're listening to us on Apple or Spotify, don't forget to give us five stars. Leave a comment, leave a like,

Starting point is 00:00:28 do all the YouTube things, subscribe, and then ring the bell. So you're notified of all the videos. I'm just going to our Patreon questions because as you guys know if you are a Patron you get to send us questions Let's do this Robbie Bo parp pirous cool name. Hi guys. How's it going? first fun fact and question. Did you know that the origins of the beads Jack shows in front of his bandana in the books

Starting point is 00:01:11 were him putting them together to break a curse of the hat? In the extra DVD of the third movie was him buying it with his second ever stolen coin of the compass in the books and the comments was Tia Dalma trading it with him. That being said, that flashback where the other pirates just give those things to him can ruin the continuity and your enjoyment of the movie like it did to me or it's something that can be ignored and the movie is still great if you liked it?

Starting point is 00:01:42 Question mark. Second fun fact in question apparently there are three other pirate movies in the making that may or may not be a sequel without captain jack sparrow a sequel focused only on jack sparrow a soft reboot sequel with a completely new cast with i-o adi bery as captain and bonnie i don't know that is is. A female spinoff with Margot Robbie as well. Oh wow. Female spinoff with Margot Robbie. There have been lots of rumors for different movies.

Starting point is 00:02:11 Would you enjoy reacting to them, any of them in the future, or would you be forced to do it for the channel and us viewers keep up the good work and ciao from Sardinia. Ciao. Okay. Now, okay.

Starting point is 00:02:30 The beads part didn't bug me. It didn't ruin my enjoyment of it, but I do like that you were like, oh, him trading it with Tia Dalma, but still, I still thought that it was a nice little foundation. I thought it was sweet. So we didn't it did. It definitely didn't ruin my enjoyment like it did for you.

Starting point is 00:02:55 Roby, hopefully I'm saying that name right. And I actually did like this movie. I I I thought that it was it was fun. I mean, did that ruin it for you? Because I didn't put it I don't think I put it together that the the beads that Jack shows in front of his bandana in the books were putting them together to break a curse of the hat in the extra DVD of the third movie was him buying it. Okay, so you're saying in the books,

Starting point is 00:03:25 I didn't read the book. So this is why I didn't know that. So it didn't know I did. As far as what was actually shown in the movies, this didn't break continuity. Yeah. And this is from what I can remember us because we're just watching we and we're not watching like the extra stuff. No, you get in the DVDs. No. And mean, yeah, I really, I really liked this one. I liked this one a lot, actually. It was a lot of fun. And I think that it was a cool little tidbit at the beginning there.

Starting point is 00:03:55 And as far as your second question goes, I really am looking forward to more Pirates. I think that it would be fun. I think if they are going to do a spinoff focused solely on Jack, you do need cat characters to counterbalance him. I thought the last one was just okay. Um, but I really liked this one. Um, so yeah, I think that he needs people that are more grounded with more

Starting point is 00:04:21 heartfelt motivations to really, uh, bounce bounce off of because I think the thing about Jack Sparrow is something I realized in this one. I realized in the last one too without the app with the absence of the other two characters of Elizabeth and Will Turner is that Jack is kind of a not a I won't say stagnant but you can't change or allow Jack Sparrow to grow too much because the fun is the fact that he's like this drunk Kind of belligerent debauchery is kind of dude So you need people that do grow and do have you know strong foundations for motivations to allow him to still be himself Otherwise it changes the character. So I

Starting point is 00:05:04 Yeah, I would be curious to see how they go about that. As far as the other ones with, with Ayo, I would be down. I love that actress. Have you seen the bear? Yeah, well, I mean, she's very, yeah, she's really good at, at improv specifically. So I think that would be fun if they let her kind of go free. I have really only seen her in the other independent movie and she played very similar to who she plays in The Bear.

Starting point is 00:05:33 There wasn't a lot of like range that I saw there, meaning she just seemed like the same. Like she's bringing a lot of herself to the role, but I don't know how malleable she is, but I would love to see her as like not that awkward girl who sort of has different ways that she delivers things. That would be fun for me to see. So I'm interested if she if that's a switch up and it would be cool to see her with Margot

Starting point is 00:06:00 Robbie because I would like to see her play something different and I haven't but it's not like I've watched everything she's been in. I've only watched The Bear and another indie that she was in and she played more of the same character. Was it Bottoms? Yeah, I believe so. Bottoms was great. Yes, Bottoms was a fantastic movie,

Starting point is 00:06:18 but again, like, it totally highlighted her strengths, which is that sort of like awkward ish improv She's good at delivering like comedy too. Yeah, listen I just want them to pay off the Penelope Cruz after credit scene and I want them to pay off the after credit scene of This movie I want more Jack and Penelope Cruz. I want more Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan and I liked it. I like the his son and I liked his love interest Barbosa's daughter. I would love to see more of them as well. Let's get all of them in one pirate adventure and and make it you know heartfelt make it fun. I think there's a way for us to do this

Starting point is 00:06:58 that doesn't feel overly crowded like the third movie and yeah I think I think there's a lot of potential there so I'm down for spinoffs down for continuations and yeah I think I think there's a lot of potential there. So I'm down for spin-offs down for continuations. And yeah, I think let's let's get it. Let's get more yo ho in a brewing. And of course, we will be here to react to them when they do eventually come out. Yeah, for sure. I would I would definitely love to see obviously Jack Sparrow on the screen. I mean, he radiates a lot of comedy and joy and stupidity and drunkenness and all the things that you just are like, oh yeah, a pirate's life for me, let's go.

Starting point is 00:07:33 Because it makes it enjoyable to watch and you just never know what is going to happen when he's there, right? It's like you deal with the unexpected, which is fun. So I specifically more in that the options that you gave us, I would like to see a sequel with Jack Sparrow and a new cast. I think that'd be a lot of fun because I would be very intrigued to see how does he bounce off new people rather than going right back to Gibbs or going like, you know, with his own crew,

Starting point is 00:08:06 or the fact that obviously he's not going to treat Henry too differently because it's Turner's kid. I would be interested to see. I'm sure he would still be obviously the same Jack Sparrow. No one's going to change him. But I would be interested to see how he bounces off new characters. I think that'd be a lot of fun. So appreciate the thoughts and the questions.

Starting point is 00:08:31 Jay Rushton says, okay, rank the pirate movies of the series. His is 12435. Hmm. Okay. I think just based off of pure enjoyment levels. I would have to go Let's go least favorite to favorite. So I'm sorry guys. I'm gonna okay. Yes favorite Then four then five then one then two I'm gonna go in the other order one two

Starting point is 00:09:06 five four three Is that the same? Four five two one you did it's the same no cuz I like two more than one oh You did you like one more than two so that's the only difference Classic oh wait, but two is when we introduce one and Oh wait, but two is when we introduce Swann and, no, Swann and are introduced in the first one. Yeah, Davy Jones is in, I think I'm still gonna go with one because I really like the old school vibe of what happens like with the Brits

Starting point is 00:09:38 and then her with her dad and then meeting Orlando and then Jack Sparrow. Especially when we think that they're gonna have a romance. Remember that? Jack Sparrow and Swann? That was just fun to me. But they were teasing you. She kissed him at the end of two.

Starting point is 00:09:54 He goes into the mouth. I was like, oh my God. It was a great cliffhanger, and I really liked his motivations. I liked Will's motivations in that. I liked that Elizabeth Swann gained a sense of agency by going after Will and yeah that stuff all just really worked really well for me but yeah one it's a classic it's a very contained movie and yeah if you never got a spin-off then you know it

Starting point is 00:10:17 stands alone but I think these other ones are more reliant on spin-offs especially two or more reliant on sequels especially two but yeah it's, just an experience, I think, yeah, two, one, five. Because I just think this was so much fun, and they brought back the energy. And I don't know, there's something, I don't know, I don't want to say cosmic, it sounds too woo-woo, but I like that, you know, history has a sense of repeating itself.

Starting point is 00:10:41 You know, Jack is kind of the stagnant dude, but the fact that his son, Will Turner's son, was after Will Turner. Like Will Turner was after his dad and you know, it's this thing that's kind of full circle. Does it seem a little convenient that you know, Barbosa's daughter also happens to be here? Sure. But I still liked that. That was a fun little tie into the movie. They're all looking for their dad. They're all looking for their dad,

Starting point is 00:11:06 essentially at the end of the day. It's fantasy, it's Yo Hoan, and yeah, it was just fun. Yeah, I agree. I'm sort of like, you know, Shansa, who was like the real witch, I'm interested to see like, if she were to come back, like what more she could do, because remember how to your god

Starting point is 00:11:31 Exactly because it was like she was there and she they made her in some scenes seem very Like a parent that she's gonna do some juice here And then you do kind of forget about her But I was gonna say when we saw Barbosa fall into the scene you're like he might not be dead I was like you might be right cuz Tia Dalma because remember how she fall into the scene. You're like, he might not be dead. I was like, you might be right, cause Tia Dalma. Cause remember how she turns into the big fricking. The lip soul. Yeah, like, and so I'm like, maybe she could save him. I don't know, like pick him up, be like, I know you,

Starting point is 00:11:54 and then get a mermaid to kiss him. And then he lives underwater. Just following the lore there. But I did think it was like a little odd that we didn't see her like as much even though She seemed like she was gonna be more important character. Yeah, I thought like I was like, what is this? What's gonna do? Like especially when she we first go up to her she's during that gnarly like green juice. Well, I would have liked that to come back up But I do like how they kept saying like with the Trident,

Starting point is 00:12:27 how they said like all must divide and it gives you something to cling onto because they said at least three times before we get there. We're looking at the stars and it gives the audience a little bit of something like, what is the all must divide? I was thinking about it the whole time thinking like maybe they find the treasure and they have to split it and then they can get the trident.

Starting point is 00:12:49 It was totally wrong. You just got to divide the trident. But I still like that they add that in there and then it wasn't maybe it was as easy for you guys to figure out like oh just break the trident but I didn't get there till the end. So I like that they added that in of the almost divide like throughout. And it got me thinking like, where are we gonna get the,

Starting point is 00:13:12 I guess the turn of the key that's like, oh, here's the almost divide. But I liked that the stone happened. I thought that was a really cute emotional moment when she takes the ruby. He obviously left the ruby to give her a better life, Barbosa says, and that is the missing star that is needed, right, in that map.

Starting point is 00:13:33 And it was a very emotional and sweet moment when she's like, do it for my dad. And he's like, yeah, do it for him. I thought that was real sweet. I was like, ah. So that's kind of where the heart set in for me. And obviously when he says he calls her treasure and then he sacrifices his life,

Starting point is 00:13:53 although we didn't really see him die die, but our assumption is he's gone. I like that part because there's no better way to go out than saving your long lost orphaned daughter. Yeah. Yeah, I think that was very noble of him. I think that was, yeah, he had all these riches and treasures and ships. But at the end of the day, you know, if your offspring that, you know, has found her way back to you is in danger, you do what you need to do. You do the sacrifice play. And I think that, I don't know,

Starting point is 00:14:28 I think that felt good for him. I was happy with that. But hey, if Davy Jones can come fricking back, Barbossa can come back. Yeah, totally. And like, I did like that they called, you know, Captain Salazar, like the butcher of the sea, so that we know when Salazar comes up to meet Barbossa,

Starting point is 00:14:48 even you said, you're like, he looks terrified. And he actually did. And we don't normally see that, like with Barbossa or like David, we didn't see a lot of like terrified action with them. Obviously Javier Bardem is like a brilliant actor. So I like the transitions. I think mainly what I really liked

Starting point is 00:15:10 is the visuals in this movie. I thought the special effects were great. How they make the deadlock and how when fire hit them and they would explode, it's like they evaporate. I thought that was really cool to look at as well as like their ship, how it opens up and basically becomes like Chomps it like chopped the Brits. That was one of the coolest things I'd seen along with the shark Thank you for the shark move. You know, I'm realizing shark move maybe you correct me if I'm wrong on this

Starting point is 00:15:38 Remember how I asked the one who watched the movie? Why is why did Barbosa Barbosa take Jack because he cracked open the ship and then he put it in the water. And then, I don't know if, did Jack do anything significant after that point? Because I was like, oh, he's just kind of here because the other guy hates him. Because in the other movies,

Starting point is 00:16:00 Barbosa just took your ship and left his ass. Right. He did it twice. Oh, yeah, I'll just take you. Well, you can come along the plot, you know, you're. Yeah, because I'm really trying to think here if there was anything very significant. I mean, again, like I was saying, I was like, I think it's obviously the ties to Henry, Henry and Karina.

Starting point is 00:16:25 And maybe it's because, you know, he did sort of save his daughter, even though we didn't find that out till later. Like, I get why I get why you need Karina there, because she's going to help you get to the treasure. Right. Jack was safe on land. Plus, you're taking the ship. You know, only narratively don't need Barb from Barbosa's point of view. I don't think he needs Jack there because he doesn't have any information about it

Starting point is 00:16:49 That's gonna help them. The girl does also thought it was convenient that Karina was in a jail cell and happened to have the moonlight like above her. Oh the blood moon. Yeah I was like Okay Okay, now I'm thinking though that Barbosa was using Jack as bait. He knew that Salazar wanted Jack and Jack, even though he had his compass, he still was like after Jack. If you knew cells are wanted Jack, why would you bring him with you to for him to follow? I'm with you. I'm with you. That was my one thought of like, well, can we use him as bait in going for the Trident?

Starting point is 00:17:31 I don't I don't know. But I feel like that's not how it played out. But that creates an extra obstacle for you. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm with you on it. I did like, though, that they did bargaining because it's like they're such old school friends. So even if he would he effed off in all the other films the conversation that they have where obviously Jack Sparrow knows that it's that's his daughter And he says here's what I want right like give me my comes back and rum and and whatever else What was the third thing?

Starting point is 00:18:03 I forget what he asked for but I do like that they had, they sort of built that relationship. Like they've known each other forever. They're both like pirates, even though they've been divided. Barbarossa kind of went with like the fancy bridge. He loves his treasure for a minute, but maybe it's cause he didn't really hate him that much. It wasn't like, wow, we really gotta get rid of you.

Starting point is 00:18:25 At least not after the conversation when Jack is tied up and Jack goes, I know that that's your daughter. And then they talk. But still, you guys will let us know if you're, you know. Yeah, because I don't know, maybe they have a love-hate relationship at this point. The movie sort of implied they hadn't seen each other's in five years. Yes the last movie right so okay Maybe soften up on him a little bit. Maybe he was just talking

Starting point is 00:18:53 Talking smooth to Salazar because he was like oh, yeah, I'll lead you to Jack like I don't care about him Yeah, you can kill him, but then once he actually got there. He was like yo screw the cells our guy We're gonna go find it. I'm gonna go find it myself, and I guess we'll take you with me So I think so because he wanted to try it so bad And I think it's just when Jack finally threw himself in between Henry and Karina It made them like a trio that was like if we break Jack out of this then we probably won't get Karina and Henry out of this, then we probably won't get Karina and Henry to cooperate maybe. Also, I'm sorry, I still think it's fucking dumb that Jack didn't try to break the ship out for five years.

Starting point is 00:19:31 Like, oh, they left him because the man doesn't have a ship. He literally has a ship in a bottle and all they had to do was break it. Like this. Oh man. But wait, did Barbosa- Barbosa stabbed it. No, I know, but is Barbosa's sword the one from the queen boat? Does it have, cause I was like, does it have to do with a sword?

Starting point is 00:19:56 Maybe. I have a feeling that you couldn't just break it. I think it had to be stabbed with that sword. He did say like a little like prayer or like something before he stabbed it so maybe I don't know. I don't know. I need to re-watch the scene and if we're missing information sorry guys we have to watch a movie talk while we're watching it because that is how we get it here on YouTube. So yeah, if we missed information, sorry, but yeah, let us know in the comments below though. Like truly, I'm genuinely curious as to why that

Starting point is 00:20:31 had to happen there in that way. I have a feeling it was the sword. It's a thing. Okay. Yeah. But I can be totally wrong. I could be. It wasn't absolutely clear. I here's the thing. I don't know if people when they're watching it are thinking, I mean, listen, we watch a lot of

Starting point is 00:20:53 movies and we try to call out the stuff that's like very obvious and like, ah, that's not good storytelling because why would that be the case? So I, but it's been so long that I'm still not sure if people, do people remember that the black pro is in the bottle and they see the bottle and are they thinking why did he take so long? I don't know. I feel like they would, but then again. Because in the last one, the Blackbeard had all the bottles. And then I want to say his right, Jack's right-hand man took all the bottles, including the Blackbeard. Yeah, I remember he had it over his back. He had all the dead bottles.

Starting point is 00:21:35 On the island when he left. But then we arrive at this island and they're building a boat. They built that boat. They must have taken forever to build that boat. Remember? The boat, the dying goal. Ah, maybe. Right?

Starting point is 00:21:51 They built that and yet he still had access to the Black Pearl. There has to be a reason why they would be like, unless that wasn't a boat they built, that it was just, they stole it and it's on that track and we gotta get out of there. Yeah, I'm feeling more along the lines of that. But to be fair, okay, so we're getting all in the frickin' nitty gritty of the continuity here.

Starting point is 00:22:16 We're gonna get back to the movie in a second. But I think that because Barbossa was the last official captain of that ship when it was taken from him by Blackbeard is why. See the sword. Exactly. Yeah. See? That's gonna be my headcanon for that.

Starting point is 00:22:34 Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Yeah, I think that's that's gotta be why. That's gotta be why I was like it has to do with the sword and like the fact that there's some juice there. So whatever you guys can can let us know. I will say that I did like how often the theme music came in and this one it made it a lot of fun. We lacked that I think a lot in some other ones but this one it really came in and I

Starting point is 00:22:58 loved it. The vault was very fast and furious which which I really love, but there's a house attached, whackadoo wild. When the bridge takes off the house and it just reveals the vault, awesome. The visuals in this were great. I love the music. Obviously, I never have any issues with any of the actors, even like the kid, great.

Starting point is 00:23:19 Even the CGI on like making Jack Sparrow Younger didn't bother me. I thought it was good.. I thought it was good. Like I thought it was good. And the the post cred, the most fun though is that we get to see like Turner and Swan together and like kissing and then his son and his son's like, hmm, future ex wife are looking on. It's sweet. It's sweet. That's all I got to say. I did. Yeah, that's what I thought. I that's what I say for everyone. I'm like, oh meet your future X. Just because I think it's fun. It is funny. Yeah, so I like this one. I thought I thought it was fun.

Starting point is 00:24:05 And we'll see if they if we get three other ones, we'll we'll be here watching them on the channel. Yeah, that's us. I thought the British were kind of an afterthought in this one. Yeah, they just got a guy. And then they got a. That was the coolest scene, though. That was awesome.

Starting point is 00:24:22 But finally, I was like, yeah, get them out of here They're always coming in and being like pirates go after them kill them and I'm like, yeah great Finally, right like because it's been every movie. They've kind of been a pain in the ass. Yeah, I mean they were Yeah, cuz it was the the other company like the British like trading company in the first three and then it was the other company, like the British trading company in the first three. And then it was the actual royalty in the fourth one. So this one exactly. Yeah, this one felt familiar, but I guess this was more directly connected to England. But, you know, I mean, I'm happy they bid it, you know, they didn't really have any

Starting point is 00:25:01 standout characters like the first three movies did on the British side of things. So yeah, they're just there because they're a staple in the Pirates movies. But yeah, I think this one was a lot of fun. It is flawed for sure, but I definitely had a good time. I had a lot of sequences I really enjoyed. The shark sequence was freaking dope. The guillotine scene was dope. Yeah, you're right about that.

Starting point is 00:25:22 The way the cameras were shot was used and kept going up and down. That was dope. Yeah, yeah, you're right about that. The way the cameras were shot, yeah. It was used and kept going up and down. That was cool. Yeah, just some creative uses, some creative usages of CGI and interesting set pieces. The one you talked about, those are kind of mocking or not mocking, reminiscent of the Fast and Furious Fast Five. Oh yeah, the vault. Yeah. The vault scene. And I liked the finale. I thought the finale was really cool. And yeah, just the part of the seas. I liked the look of the Trident.

Starting point is 00:25:53 And yeah, I thought this one was fun. Is it a perfect film? No, but I had a good time watching it. I'm sure this would have been cool in 3D. Yeah. Yeah, cause it had a lot of cool sequences. It did. And I also liked Harvey Arbor Dam as a villain Yeah, because it had a lot of cool sequences. It did. And I also liked Harvey Arborette Dam as a villain.

Starting point is 00:26:06 I thought he was a lot of fun. I liked his effects on him. I liked the way that his crew looked. I liked the way that his ship looked. Just all around, just freaking dope. Yeah, they did some good work on this. Like they obviously took their time and the effects and all that. Are you going to look up some trivia real quick?

Starting point is 00:26:21 Are you going to do Rotten Tomatoes or? I'm going to do Rotten Tomatoes. Okay, yeah, perfect. Okay, I'm gonna guess critics... 71, and then I'm gonna guess audience was a 79. Okay. You say audience was 79? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:43 Okay, I'm gonna say audience first. Audience is actually 60. Oh okay. What do you say for critics? I said 71. 71? Yeah. Is it like 50? So it's so it is 71. It is? Minus about 41. Oh. It's a 30%. That is a rotten tomato. That is green AF dude. Yeah. Wow. Okay. I kind of okay. Yeah. That's crazy. Okay. That is that's deep. to see why people hate this movie. I need to know. Yeah. This is not anywhere nearly. It was not. I've watched way worse movies both in life and on the channel.

Starting point is 00:27:32 This is not. I bet you it's the book readers like that. Robbie was like all this stuff and it ruined the movie. The enjoyment for him. So maybe it's tell us is it the book readers or is it the movie goers? I mean J.Rustin also thought it was a five he thought is the worst one. Yeah he did. I didn't I just yeah well.

Starting point is 00:27:53 I think it's messy but I think it's fun. Yeah and like the freaking shark thing is so cool. But again I love I love me some dinosaurs and some sharks are my favorite thing. Seeing that was awesome. And I've really loved Salazar's ship, eating the breads. I thought that looked so freaking cool. So I don't know, you guys let us know why people hate it. We didn't hate it.

Starting point is 00:28:16 We enjoyed ourselves. We hope to see you on the next things. We appreciate you. Tell us we're cool, I guess if you wanna and We hopefully we'll see you on the next one Bye Delia Chamberlain From catching up with you last time you are the individual who I can see one day just saying screw it.

Starting point is 00:28:48 I'm leaving. I'm gonna set sail across the world. I see. I could totally see you doing that. You deserve a grandiose adventure in your life where you are just traversing everywhere. Your sweet soul deserves to be spread across this this divisive birth And I think the first place you would set sail to as you travel the waters would be teal one Yes, go down TJ.

He told me about and then Yeah, you could become a literal walking human Jack Sparrow Which would be awesome the perfect person to set sail across the world because after Tijuana where would you go next?
