All are standing in each other's way.Īll in all, a really sensational movie. Norrington wants it to regain his position. The triple fight between Jack, Will and Norrington in particular is great because you see 3 characters with 3 very clear motivations that contradict each other. Incredible set pieces: Be it the Cannibal Island, the fight against the Kraken, or the duel on the windmill, the movie has some incredible over the top set pieces that are still very connected to the story. He's absolutely terrifying, yet not all villanous.Īdds to the soundtrack: Davy Jones' theme. Davy Jones' is a tragic villain with a backstory that is only hinted at, leaving more to the imagination. All incredible designs, with CGI FROM 2006 THAT STILL HOLDS UP TODAY, and great new lore that doesn't get too convoluted (something At world's end is frequently accused of). It introduces new elements: In the form of Davy Jones, the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken. Norrington is a fallen man that sees in capturing Jack a form of redemption, but by doing so he would lose Elizabeth, who he still clings to. Will discovers that there's more to life than just Elizabeth, and is thorn between her and saving his father. This culminates in her sacrificing Jack's life at the end of the movie. Elizabeth follows the opposite direction, slowly learning to manipulate and deceive others and become more of a Pirate, although with generally good intentions. It expands thematically on all the main characters: Jack is forced to change, learning (or failing to) be a "better man". But I have to say, after watching the trilogy again, the second movie really stands out. I was always of the impression that the franchise formed a great trilogy, with "Curse of the Black Pearl" being the best.
