"Dying is the day worth living for." Captain Hector Barbossa
The Pirates franchise has been on a downward spiral since the second installment, which is incredibly disappointing considering how brilliant the first film was. (Note: I liked the third way more than the second, but it was still leagues below the first.) It was nice to have a film that focused entirely on pirates, specifically Sparrow and Barbossa. The two work so well together and make for some insanely brilliant interactions. At first look, Angelica is an awesome replacement for our female in the series, though she later proves to be both frustrating and spineless. Still, a vast improvement over Elizabeth Swan. Thanks to some overdue cutting of some dead weight, it’s a good refreshing addition to the universe. Unfortunately, I don’t think that Pirates will ever be able to be as good as it was at the beginning.
