Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 News

Rodney 115 Comments

PirateWell it looks like they are going ahead with another Pirates film. Today Jim Hill shares some of the ideas being thrown around. We get the scoop from our friends at cinematical:

No source knows Disney better than Jim Hill Media, which is why anyone interested in the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise should pay attention to this new info. The fourth film, according to Hill, will “toss the Elizabeth and Will characters over the side in favor of doing a bawdy buddy picture which would star Jack Sparrow and Barbossa. Where both captains of the Black Pearl would initially be competing for the exact same prize.”

“Eventually, all the double crossing would have to stop as these two rivals were then forced to join forces in order to defeat some supernatural terror.”

I am not a fan of the Pirates franchise, but often on TMB: Uncut we have said that if they have to do another film, less romance and more piracy is the way to go. I must admit; this information is probably the best news we could have hoped for when dealing with POTC 4. I am still not excited to see this film, but will give it a chance like every film before it, with hope of swashbuckling excellence.

Pirates are awesome and we should really focus on them raiding boats and stealing treasure. I am not interested in Piracy as a backdrop for a lame love story that is 3 hours long. It is good that they have “tossed Elizabeth and Will”, this shows a step in the right direction; now we wait and see if it makes a difference.

  1. i am waiting for POTC4. if some thought people bore from jack sparrow character ,it means they didn’t like hem ever. jack is the center of movie,if some other characters removed film will still get good money on box office.

  2. I love the whole series and am pining for more Captain Jack Sparrow. I love the idea of Captain Jack and Barbosa being the main focus of the new movie. Just remember….no Johnny Depp no more POTC movies please!

  3. I think Jack Sparrow has been derailed from previous engagements. Big fans will know things from the past through Rob Kidds junior novelizations, like love interest Arabella Smith, and friend turned rival-cousin of Norrington, Fritzwilliam…With that and reading On Stranger Tides I think we are in for a treat mythology wise. The novel already has elements that are already present in the previous trilogy..not to mention that the novelization about the time piece, which may also parity a Jules Verne work about clock master who cut his soul into clocks, could also play nicely into a story about vodoo magic and the fountian of youth. Yes more characters new and old, more romance, and more connectivity to mythology. I’m in.

  7. I can’t belive they are getting rid of elizabeth and Will…thats nuts…they don’t need to be major charaters like before but to completely cut them out will ruin the movie

  8. It bothers me that people say that a 4th movie will ruin the sequal!
    It won’t! I hope they make 15 more movies!
    This is my favorite movie ever made. I wish orlando and kiera would stay but idc as long as jack sparrows in it ill love anything..

  9. I can’t wait to see the new Pirates Movie!! I hope they also bring back Wil and Elizibeth. All 3 movies were great so far. It wouldnt be the same with out the trio. Im glad Johnny Depp is coming back. Keep up the good work!!

  10. Third movie? It’s the fourth movie, Luke.

    And i disagree with Anna. I think that Keira Knightley only brought any character to the film in ‘The Curse of the Black Pearl’. In the other two films she was just annoying. The best characters in this film series are definately the male ones! And as for the son, maybe it would tie up loose ends, but POTC should steer clear of any more tounge-in-cheek characterisation.

  11. I, personally, love the all the POTC series. At the very end of At World’s End (after the credits), it’s revealed that after 10 years Will and Elizabeth had a son. It would be nice if the sequel started with the son at age 20 as a new character. Also, I think that either Orlando or Keira should at least appear a little bit to present the new son’s character. From there, the Sparrow/Barbosa buddy idea can continue with this new character in the mix. I think it would be stupid on the directors/creators/writers part to totally forget that they introduced a son in 3 and not present him in POTC 4.

    Also, I just have to say, that I really liked it when Keira was made captain! So I would really like to see another female pirate in the mix somewhere. It just gives it a certain “something” with a femaile character involved. I would hate to see the POTC series totally revert to another male flick. If that were the case, I would have to say that I would be less likely to see it.

  13. When I found out about Pirates of the Caribbean 4 I was literally jumping for joy (yep I’m a solid fan). But I told my friends and they weren’t so jumpy. I think the problem with this film is the fact that the 2nd and 3rd films were lacking in horror. In the first film, Barbossa brought a scary, fantastical edge to the villain – but the East India Trading company aren’t exactly frightening. A new villain would bring the passionate fans back to this Disney franchise. Me however, give me Johnny Depp in eyeliner and I’m happy.

  14. Thank god they’re taking out Will and Elizabeth. I wasn’t a big fan of they’re whole help-i’m-a-damsel-in-distress-dont-worry-i’ll-save-you thing. I mean we need more of Sparrow!!!And they should introduce a new character; a girl pirate who will also fight against jack and barbossa to gain whatever it is they’re fighting for…that would really make things seem new.

  17. I think the pirate movies are wonderful and cant get enough!Adventure with pirates,how refreshing in this day and age of sex and slash movies.I am bored of all the guy gets girl movies as well.Jack sparrow and his crew force us to use our minds and imaginations.I know that it all must come to an end,but I have truly enjoyed this ride.Yoho Yoho!

  21. i think they show make a 4th movie with will as captain and elizabeth and they should still have jack sparrow i think they should have a part 4 it would prbbly be great i think.i would want to know what happends next wouldnt you.

  23. I am glad the 4th installment is on its way..i loved all 3 POTC!!! But it would be very disappointing to not have will and elizabeth aboard, they give the story the romance it needs and they help keep jack honest! BRING BACK ORLANDO(hes a hottie) AND ELIZABETH!

  24. I am really excited about the fourth potc but i am really disappointed that they are going to take out Elizabeth and Will ALL the characters make the movie and for all you people that don’t like the movie nobody said that you have to watch the movies, after all the movies did quite well lol :) And to the people making the Potc movies please keep the cast the way it is you just can’t end the story with Will and Elizabeth , because nobody forgot about them! Please keep them in the movie, but you can tone Elzabetth’s character down alittle bit she is alittle to high and mighty but I still like her.

  26. I would rather them keep to the story line there were already in rather than veering off. i want to know what happens to will and elizabeth and have been hoping for a POTC4 that would continue that way. There has to be a counter to the swashbuckling. otherwise you will lose your lady fanbase.

  27. I think PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN IS WICKED COOL.I am a big fan of Captin Jack Sparwo . He is awsom !!!! I also love the other characters .I think that Keria and Orlando should stay in the move. Think that they put the whole thing toghether. Especialy their love story they have together. Yay 4rth move I hope they find a way that Keria and Orlando can be together some how. They were ment to be together in the movie beeing Eliziabeth and Will. I bet that will be an awsom movie with Jack [ Jhonny Depp] with new adventures

  28. I can’t wait for the fourth movie. It would be a perfect movie if they gave Keith Richards a bigger part, threw in a girl who could give Jack a taste of his own medicine, and kept Barbossa the way he is. Either way, I’m going to see it. Been looking forward to hearing more about it.

  29. You all are yahoos, the pirates franchise is the best out of all(besides godfather), you need bloom, knightly, kaarsgard(bootstrap), and dare i say davy jones in the 4th. Davy should return to get back the Dutchman and the rest sail to the fountain of youth.

  31. I love all of the POTC films , i think they so soooooooooooooo good . and the best part that i liked is that they had the same people in each one from before. but johnny is my man out of all of them :) im his biggest fan and i am glad to hear that he will be be staying after all …… thats my johnny , never saying no . even tho he didnt go very cheap on his pay check LOL :) . with only johnny depp staying in the 4 POTC IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME , ,

  32. What the? If there is a 4th one, they are STUPID to take Will out. You know I could care less about Elizabeth, and she is just a distraction to everyone(a DUMB BLOND) if you ask me. WILL IS HOT!! I love all the movies and the next one is going to be great even if they aren’t in it. Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush are awesome. GO PIRATES!!!

  33. well i like all 3 movies. its ok that the turners lay low but you cant kick them out. sorry the movie is more than just depp and pirates they all made the movie pirates of the caribbean be that what it is. once you kick them off you dont have the same movie at all. then it becomes a new set of movies. dont get me wrong i love depp he is one of the main characters but he is not the main one. all the characters need each other in the movie. and it is a love story.

  35. Hi all! I’m so happy that there will be a fourth movie. And, yes I too am sad that they will take out Mr and Mrs turner but If they write a good script Im sure I will enjoy the movie. And anyway they need to change it up a bit to give an element of surprise to the viewers. I think that those that are not interested in the fourth pirates are not needed or wanted in the marketing plan, considering the success of the past 3 films. My kids and I love all the characters and the story line. And Im old enough to say I loved Jonny Depp since 21 jump street. So it is great that such talent like Jonny is in a great film that my kids can enjoy (amongst others films for kids that he’s made) If you can’t sit through the three films then you need to medicate yourself or stop playing devils advocate. I must admit that Im sad the the second cutie (orlando bloom) is leaving the cast but I’m sure he will be giving a wonderful, moving, exciting exit – I assume. I can’t wait! To all that love Pirates of the Caribbean – That my peanut!

  37. Okay. I can understand why some ppl don’t want the love story to continue. But I agree with a lot of these ppl, they can’t just leave us hanging. I want to know what happens to will and liz, I want to see what kind of adventures will runs into as captain of the dutchman, if he does his job, all that good stuff. And for the fact that Bloom and Knightley won’t be back, BOO TO THE PRODUCERS….When you have had 3 movies with the same cast, you can’t just switch it up on the 4th one. Those of us who do like the movies have come to know and love orlando and keira. And I completely agree with c’est moi, try seeing the whole movie before you criticize it. And for those of you who fell asleep after eating, DUH!!!! What the hell do you think is going to happen after you stuff yourself silly on turkey????? It’s called tryptophan, you moron…..It makes you sleepy…..If you want to be so “smart” about your opinions, do some research on some things before you trash a good movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. I’m sorry, but I like the love story that is woven into the threads of the “Pirates” movies. I think the way the movies are made are a good combination of action,adventure, and romance. There is nothing wrong with that. I think sometimes we think a love story has to be all gushy and mushy. I am a woman, but I don’t like the typical love story. But I like the one told in these movies. Never the less, I am looking forward to the next POTC movie. They are great and I would hope they will continue to have Johnny Depp playing “Jack Sparrow. Nobody can play the part like he can. And I hope the remainder of the original cast is back as well.

  40. agree with jade about everybody should live 4 ever and make alot more movies and put will turner back because he is soooooooooo
    hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
    I love orlando bloom
    yeah
    piratessssss 4 life.

  41. THANK YOUUUUU DISNEY I LOOOOOOVE THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN AND I LOOOOOVE ALL THE MOVIES BUT TO BAD THE ARE NOT GOING TO PUT WILL & ELI BUT HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO A 5 WITH WILL & ELI.

  42. Fourth pirates!! I am so there! I loved them all! I think the second one was my least fave. But POTC needs to live! I don’t care if Keira is out she is kinda annoying but Will needs to stay. Maybe bring Will’s son in and more about Jack and Barbosa. Who knows but I want to be an extra on the set. POTC 4 bring it!

  43. I LOVE THESE MOVIES! i dont know why you all hated the second and third. all they did was add humour! i thought that the second was the funniest and by far the best! the other 2 were also amazing! i cant wait to see this movie! its gonna be great

  45. okay i am sorta happy they taking that stupid keira out because in the movie she flirts with will and jack but the movie wont be the same without orlando i thought they would become good friends omg!!! GOOD THING THEY NOT TAKING OUT JOHNNY DEPP THEN I WOULD TOTALLY DIE!!!!

  46. I love the pirates movies and so do many other people I know. Balbosa,Jack sparrow, and will Turner are great The third pirates movie leaves you wondering what will happen next and Even if they leave the son and elizabeth out or the forth they should have, Will Turner in it. I wouldn’t through them over board they have made the movies great. I honestly think they should continue making sequiels and I can’t wait for the movies to come to theater. I hope they continue. I compare them to Haunted mansion which I thought they could have done much better. I would not have used eddy murphey at all and the movie needed to be scarier than it was the ride at disney land is better besides the pirates the haunted manison is my second favorite ride and the movie did not impress me there were some good parts but it could have been better. If it was supposed to be funny I would have used a different actor and if it were to be scary i would for sure have used someone differnt or included more things in it that would have made it scary and more intresting. eddy murphey is funny in some movies but wrong for the haunted Mansion. The pirates movies are exciting and jack sparrow and will turner are great actors togeather in these movies I think they have a good thing going and would like a few more movies made even it they dont have elizabeth or will turner in the forth i would like them to come back down the road like balbosa did. Most of us cant wait for these movies and to own them. I hope they make a movie of the maderhorn and maybe one of the runnaway minors train which is my sons favorite ride. keep the movies coming.

  47. I think that a 4th POTC would be awesome. I would go to every movie they make even if it goes to 7. Star trek went to like 11. I love Jade’s idea. that would be so cool. And I also agree with Mykranz, people who diss the movie will go to see it just to say they hated it. Even if they don’t. DON’T DISS IT TILL YOU’VE SEEN IT!!!

  48. OK, FIRST OF ALL…NOT ONE OF YOU COULD EVER EVEN COMPREHEND HOW GREAT POTC IS…WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE… YOU WOULDN’T HAVE SEEN A THIRD…AND YOU WOULDN’T BE QUESTIONING A FOURTH IF YOU WEREN’T INTERESTED…SO WHAT NOW???? ALL THE MORE POWER TO THE FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. POTC 1 2 and 3 are all great movies!!!
    I don’t think that they could pull the 4 one off with out Elizabeth
    or Will. But lets see what they can do.

  50. PotC 1 was great, 2 and 3 good fun.
    But this isn’t interesting at all. No Elizabeth? No thanks.
    I could live without Orlando, sure. But that’s just boring, as is everything which just focuses on big battles and so on (like Hulk etc)

  51. i think jack should have a love interest too. and kiera knightley has to go. she can’t act that well but apart from her if disney can create a good plot and try then i think POTC4 could be a success.

    i don’t like it how people are saying that 4 will be crap. how do they know? just coz 2/3 weren’t as awesome as 1, doesn’t mean 4 will be the same, if its made.

    4 could be the movie when the story reveals more about jack’s past. we know his personality well now, but we know nothing on his “personal side” of things.

  52. (Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so) I thinK THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS GOOD BUT NOT THE BEST IT WAS MOSTLY BORING MAN. THE #2 #3 WERE THE BEST. AND THOSE WHO hate them can go to #$%@!.

  53. i really think barbosa should die no offence to barbosa fans but it would be funny if jack or someone killed him oh and will’s curse should be shared with elizabeth so they can live forever together love is a weird thing oh and jack should live forever :)

  54. i think that it should not be all about jack! ever preson in the movie should be in it. pirates of the caribbean should be about piraty but whould it kill you to have a little love in it? i think that if you take out will and elizabeth then it will all fall a part!! you can’t have it all around jack! potc has ben go so far but if you take out will and elizabeth then it is not going to be go!!! and let me say that if you are going to do this you are making potc stupid

  58. Omg Will and Elizabeth are such a big part of the movie they could never just leave it hanging like that! It wouldn’t be the same without them. you need even a little bit of romance to attract different audiences! can no one see where i’m coming from…?!

  59. (Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so) I think they should do a part 4 of the Pirates of the Caribbean without Will and Elizabeth and keep Jack and Barbossa if they want to be in the part 4 . If they don’t then put somebody else that would want to do it like them and play like them . I LOVE THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies. I wish I was in these movies that’s my favorite movies of all time. I have given myself my very own pirate name” Drydog Brand” too.Keep making them pirate movies.Thanks very much.

  60. Omg i cant believe you people i adore pirates of the caribbean and i dont want them to stop, and i think that this will be a good one, i cant wait till the 4th one is made!

  61. OMG
    to all of you people that dont like the 3rd and 4th movie…your crazy. i think the adventures just keep getting better and better. i’m a little sad that there kicking will and elizabeth out but think about it…if they brought Will back it would be so totally lame!!! i think Jack and Elizabeth should totally hook up!! anyway im exited for the 4th movie..like any TRUE fan would be.

    xoxo

  62. omw!how can u people say u hate potc!Its a legendery movie!!I think its birlliant!!!And the story line is excellent!…will and elizabeth should stay in the flick and theres barely romance in the movie!Romance makes this movie a legend!

    ……….pirates are awsume0x0x

  64. obviously they need to have will and elizabeth. the movies started with them and have to end with them. i dont think they could make the movies without them. Just like they couldnt make the movies without Jack.

  66. i thought the POC movies had a decent intrest but i didnt care much for the boring love story between Orlando and keira i like the pirate stuff i hope 4 is more like that

  67. I think a fourth movie would be awesome..my whole family enjoyed watching them over and over..I loved all the characters in the movie and i think they should all be in the next one. Will and Elizabeth left everyone in suspense. and Jack and Barbossa are going after the fountain of youth…i think it would be great for all the loose ends to be tied up..i wouldnt care how many movie they want to make we would watch them all.

  68. I think that is great that they are going to make another movie. I loved the first 3 and i been waiting for the next one. To all you bullshit ass people hating on it well fuck you all! get off the website, if u don’t like it don’t loose ur time commenting about it in such a negative way. Go somewhere else and post ur shit. No one needs to read ur bullshit. I love pirates and I love Jack sparrow!! my whole family enjoys watching the movies, we bought all of them.

  69. I think the whole story wouldn’t be good anymore if they take out elizabeth and will, it wouldn’t have been such a great movie without them in it.And the end end of the 3rd one was terible and they need to fix it, which is impossible without them in it. I think about potc every day and wonder what will happen to elizabeth and will

  70. I think a fourth movie would be AWESOME I don’t think they should end with Elizabeth and Will because their relationship kind of tied everything in together and made a lot of sense but if they made a fifth movie I propably wouldn’t be to excited about a fifth becuase then it would be like Harry Potter (nothing against Harry Potter though) and everybody might get sick of it and some people might enjoy it more you just don’t know how it’s going to turn out

    Peace,Love,and DRAMA,

    Emily

  73. I heart pirates and all of my friends do too. We LOVE Johnny and I think that we would all love to see a fourth. I personally dont like the first one as much as I like the second and third. The second is probably my favorite. I dont have any insults for the characters because i think that they did their job well, and that if another comes out I’ll see it in theaters with a big group of annoyingly fun friends. And if you dont like me for my opinions that just sux for you.

  74. I am so excited for the next one, i will defiantly see it. The story i thought wasn’t going anywhere after number 2, but then number 3 was great, so i am so excited for number 4. i can hardly wait.

  75. Ok listen everyonel You all just agree with eachother and dump the movie. If you say you hated the movie but you didnt even bother seeing it HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU HATE IT. Im a FANATIC about pirates and the movies. I love the movies and all of them! Im happy about the fourth one. But the stupid thing is after the credits in POTC 3 they shows will and elizibeths kid after 10 years. Now seriously you cant just dump that!
    Listen you all know you love the movies so stop taling bull crap!

    Dont say you hate he movie when u say u didnt go see it

  76. ok look if they make a pirates 4 will and elizabeth will be in it everyone will be in it it will prob be about the fountain of youth all the pirates movies were great except the second one and plus the ppl that thought it was shit were prbably 40 year old virgins who sit in there basment and play xbox 360 and actually think they r good and all those ppl that r like that let me tell u that pirates was a DISNEY MOVIE meaning it was kid friendly so ure fucking stupid if u dont kno why it wasnt all bloody and action where everybody dies

  77. POTC is a movie which is very unique. The whole cast are extremely good at their parts however, the Will and Lizzie parts do tend to get a bit boring. at the end of POTC 3 they had to part due to will’s “condition” thats it, leave it there. I for one dont want to know what happens to their relationship from now. Their story has been told. No when it come to Jack and Barbossa, thats a whole new ball game. they are what drives the movie itself. they are the essence of the movie.

    the special effects in this movie, i consider to be one of the best. not like that star trek horse shit….

  78. i love the pirates movies, but im a little upset to hear that Orlando bloom will be leaving the set. he is the only reason i first saw the movies, but i am not TOO upset to go see the fourth (if it is really going to exist lol)

  79. Hey what do you guys think About Catherine Zeta-Jones! or Emily de Raven??? -Should we pitch it to producers?!

    Oh, and I like Barbosa’s long lost daughter plot….or even someone getting a little romantic with Hector lol!

    I would even be happy to see Ana Maria agian!

  80. That “Barbossa’s long lost daughter” part reminds me of the Oprah show… :)
    Ridiculous, when you think about it.
    Oh, and I meant More seductive than Jack, not Nore. Spelling is not my strong side.

  81. It would be so totally hilarious to see ol’ Jackie boy fritz out and panic over a mannerless girl who keeps leading him on and screwing him over like he always does with others… Especially any kind of relative to Barbossa, and we all know how much he Sparrow likes him. Oh, I’d pay fat money to see that…
    And considering Will and Lizzie,
    if the guys from Disney aren’t eager to make a POTC 5-aka-Mr and Mrs Turner loveydovey 10-hour Special, they could always make Jack and Barbossa find the Fountain of Youth, and take some of it’s water to Elizabeth, so she could drink some of it, and keep what’s left of it in a little flask, which she will then give to her son like Bootstrap Bill gave Will the Aztec gold piece. Or just drink it all, whatever, that’d be up to Disney people and Mr Bruckheimer. And that way, the entire remaining part of Will and Elizabeth’s story can be not to obviously and quite efficiently packed in about 15 to 20 minutes, and eeeveryone gets to live bloody happily ever after for the rest of their piratey lives! Yippie-yeah!

  82. Definitely a good idea to focus on Barbossa and Sparrow in part four.
    I agree about Will and Elizabeth’s story being unfinished, but the audience has most probably had enough of them for at least some time to follow. Of course, there may be people who need a rest from the whole “Pirates” franchise altogether, but there are three more years to go until the “expected” release in 2011.
    We need more raiding and plundering, fighting evil and stuff like that. Not over-the-top effects included! Some special effects, yes, but more original, fierce, rugged, mano-a-mano (had to wite that :)) combat, made to look somewhat natural at least. Someone would have to die-just so there is a shock effect in the movie. Romance should be in there somewhere, but reaaallyyy subtle. Will and Liz really overdid it a little. Like, maybe taking a wee revenge on Jack, since he likes to mess around with all the women available. Drop in a female character who is by all means worse than Jack-crazier, more sarcastic, less willing to emotionally commit, but nore seductive, always eager to steal (“borrow”) and trash stuff, sail, party, drink and curse. Make Jack fall in love, then go through denial, go all crazy and panic. She needs to really be a b*tch. Maybe she could turn out to be Barbossa’s long lost daughter, and then she could get on both his and Sparrows nerves! Of course something needs to bring Jack and Barbossa together! And aside from that, throw in the same goal they’re after, and a battle against a mutual enemy…

  84. i dont see how anyone could think that elizabeth and will ruin the movie…they totally complete the potc movies and without them it wont be AS good but still great..i loveee everyone in the movie and i wish they could get EVERYONE to come back to potc 4 !!! but just so everyone knows even though i love keira knightly and orlando bloom but they chose not to come back! :( i sooo wish they would because like i said potc has everything but the only way they can have everything is if the whole cast is in it….im potc’s biggest fan so whether elizabeth and will are in it or not potc will ALWAYS be my favorite move and the best movie of all time the good thing (and bad thing) is that it wont be coming out until 2011 so we do all potc fans have a long time to wait but that also gives the producers and actors to decide whether they want to be in the movie or not so hopefully everyone will return and the movie will be completely perfect! :)

  85. Im a huge pirates of the caribbean fan…and i lovee the whole will and elizabeth love story pirates of the caribbean is so great because it has everything..romance comedy adventure and action all in one movie….which is totally amazing to me im really upset that they are probably going to drop elizabeth and will…especially with that ending in potc3 but im looking forward to seeing the fourth movie…even if i do have to wait 4 years

  86. Well im a poc fan and i think all 3 were great yes elizbeth and will did kill parts of the movie but i also been doing some research and the whole idea for the 4 is all about jack sparrow which u all got to admit is funny and barbosa the way how they see it is that it is there biggest franchise going yet and till they come up with sank that will compete against there own creation they can make as much of poc as they like but the 5th will probably be the last one with them probably just doing movies based on jack sparrow i very much doubt that will and eliz will bet at the end of part 5 as knightley is looking to going up the ladder more now and orlando at the moment fading away hope this helps a little PEACE

  87. Wow! I can’t believe how many unsentimental people there are! I loved all three of these films and especially AT WORLD’S END because the writers took the time to think this whole big story out. I agree that in Pirates four they should focus on Jack Sparrow as being the main point of interest. I would be interested in story that involved more pirates and maybe even his family…I can already see Catherin Zeta-Jones playing his pushy-sword fighty, cousin~ I hear that they may continue to go down the Jules Vern route which I would love! Sci-fi is luckily not what it use to be in films… it’s now character driven! Yes bring on Atlantis, Fountian of Youth, flying contraptions, the Lafayette brothers, William Teach, and more empty bottles of rum!!!!!!!!!

    Ps: Get back to Elizabeth and Will at the end of POTC 5~

  88. Fine. People are entitled to their opinions. Here’s mine… I enjoy all 3 movies. They entertain me. They entertain my friends and family. I love the entire cast. If one character is missing I think Pirates will fall apart. You need all the pieces. It’s like … good friends that go out together all the time. One is smart. One is funny. One is romantic. One is creative. If one friend is missing the conversation is completely lacking. The laughter doesn’t happen. The chemistry is missing… I don’t believe that a pirates movie could hold it’s own without everyone on board… (excuse the pun) I also don’t believe that Disney would put hints about Jack/Barbossa going after the fountain of youth or that “the story of Will and Elizabeth has yet to be told” without the movies already being in the works. OH>> How could they end the 3rd movie with Elizabeth and son William waiting for Will??? How could they leave me with Will and Elizabeth only seeing each other maybe 3 -4 more times before she dies of old age and he continues to be freakin beautiful forever and only gets to see his son 5-6 times before the son dies of old age? Yet in the final scene with Jack’s off to look for the fountain of youth? Hello! Liz needs to be immortal too!! and there’s a way… fountain of youth… too many puzzle pieces laying on the floor they have to pick them up and put them together!!

  89. YESSSSS! This is so awesome! I love the comedy and witt in the movies and I am ssooo ready for a 4th one! It is a very good idea to put will And Liz aside, becuase it’s kind of dried out, but I applaud Jack and Barbossa idea they have! YESSS! CAN’t WAIT!

  90. (I cant stand thinkin of the 4th movie without will or elizabeth they’re practically the whole reason y i love the movies theyr the best sparrow is funny but he just wouldnt cut it alone let will and elizabeth end their love story in the 4th and let them still stand by jacks side in the movies after that

  91. i think all of the pirate movies are great, but i like the second one the best.
    i don’t get why people don’t want Elizabeth and will back for the fourth one i think they’re a big part of the story, and make the movie more interesting.

  94. I honestly would hate to see Will & Elizabeth thrown overboard as in no more Orlando or Keira in which sucks i honestly hated that Orlando had a bit part in LOTR as Legolas the elf archer and I cried each time i watch POTC 3 of how it ended and left us the fans hanging even at the clip wondering what is going to happen to the two lovebirds I mean it even said in the guide in the dvd case of POTC 3 that Elizabeth & Will’s story has yet to be told in which i ll wait for yet i wont go see the POTC 4 movie unless it has Orlando in it if it doesnt i ll just rent it and see then i hope that the next potc movie after potc 4 has the romance story of Elizabeth & Will.

  95. everyone that has posted here will either see POTC4 within a month of it being out, or will pay to rent it. whats that mean? yeah, youll get another POTC no doubt, cause its what makes the world go round, CHA-CHING!

    i agree, first one was the best, last two are okay but nothing like the first. Story got to cloudy, not enough pirate type action and too much sappy love story. They had to mix that in though, it makes the franchise more appealing to the masses, including the women who like the ‘knight and shining armor’ tale.

    I own all pirate dvds, probably havent watched the 2/3 dvds more than one time each.

  97. we rented the 3rd one over Christmas and literally every single one of us fell asleep watching it. 6 people. In the middle of the day. After drinking coffee. God that movie sucked. To be fair I started watching it about half way thru while everyone else had already fallen asleep while watching it. I ploped down on the couch and fell asleep within like 20 minutes of that boring trash.

  98. I’m with Mykrantz on this one.

    I’ll go see more Pirates movies as they were fun and kept me entertained. Plus its about pirates, that’s just cool.

    Depp/Rush in a Pirates movie is just gold for me, I enjoy it.

    1. Okay. Wow people. Don’t pretend like you hate the story. I thought they were funny, even though the movie itself was REALLY drawn out. Will and Elizabeth got a little old, and the Jack/Elizabeth crush/subplot sucked and pissed me off, but I felt like it was justified, poor old (drunk and mentally unstable) Jack is all by himself though the whole thing, he deserves a little action. Still way to drawl out.

      But yeah Sparrow and Barbossa will be entertaining as hell. can’t wait to see the new one.

      and don’t deign that most of you won’t go and see the movie because we all know that you will.

  99. I didn’t go see 2 or 3 in theatres. They sucked the big one. What makes a good movie for me is a decent story with decent dialog and some cool special effects always help. I certainly don’t require Oscar caliber performances to enjoy a movie.

    I really liked most of the characters from the POTC movies as well. What bothers me the most about the franchise is the wasted opportunities.

    IMO they could have retained the level of fun, adventure and effects while using plot lines and dialog that weren’t so ridiculously over the top.

    One of the best things about the first one is the sense of history and believability that was present. The characters’ shocked reactions when they realize “the curse” is real is just believable enough to create that feeling.

    In the recent movies all sense of shock and wonder is replaced with the acceptance of anything and everything supernatural; in this case virtually anything you can imagine is possible in the world.

    The movies have lost nearly all of their spirit and with that their appeal for me. I certainly won’t be seeing anymore of them in theatres.

  100. If you are going to an adventure movie about Pirates for Oscar caliber performances, perhaps you aren’t the core audience that made all 3 movies monster box office money.

    All 3 PotC movies are fun action movies where you go to be entertained for ~2 hours. Yes, the first one was better than the ones that followed, but that is the case with almost every series (Star Trek being the notable exception, where Khan and Undiscovered Country were the 2 best in the series). I like the spirit of the PotC movies and the characters are all great.

    As long as Rush and Depp want to keep coming back, I’ll go see PotC movies, as will most of the people who saw the first 3…

    PS – That so many of you can draw up such vitriol about the the Pirate movies just means you will go see a 4th one when it gets made, because hate is just as strong a pull as love. If you truly despised the movies you would be indifferent, and would never have made the posts.

  101. To re-iterate what has already been said, the first POTC was groundbreaking and truly a great movie.

    The next two were pieces of dogshit served on a plate of special effects with dried cat turds sprinkled on to try and soften the taste of the dogshit.

    It’s too bad they were huge hits. What’s the world coming to?

  102. good i was tired of seeing kiera knightly make faces through a film and pass it off as emotion. the commericals for atonement contain so much involuntary facial contractions that to me it is unwatchable. besides i’m not a fan of her acting skills.

  103. I loved the first POTC movie, but the sequels didn’t really do it for me. I always wanted them to add a new female character to the sequel. I pictured some dark haired, voluptuous, sarcastic lady pirate, who would be a new love interest for Jack, but would also go after Will, which would make Elizabeth jealous. Instead they create this Elizabeth and Jack love-subplot. Didn’t like that at all.

    If they make a 4th movie, give me at least my girl pirate!

  106. If they can make a 4th Indiana Jones pic, and an 11th Star Trek, and how many Batman’s are we on now… anyway, they can certainly wait a couple of years and make a POC that firmly places Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp at the helm that people will enjoy and pay good money to see.

  107. Well, one way or another, I know two things.

    Keira Knightley can move on to other things, (such as Atonement), and her star rises just fine post Pirates. She could also lend herself to a new action-fantasy film down the road, who knows. But she doesn’t need another Pirate film. It is wise not to have her character in a Pirates 4. I love her, she’s adorable. I will see her in other films.

    No Orlando Bloom. That’s a shame. No more Pirates. No more Rings. If the chap can’t find a franchise quick, his career is well, I’ll put it this way: iit’s on life support, near comatose. It’s time to… pull the plug!

    *****

    Pirates vs. Mermaids.
    I can see it now.

  108. This isn’t exactly breaking news or anything. I remember right after AT WORLD’S END opened, there were rumors about a 4th film. This sounds like what we heard last year.

    That said, Disney would be smart to lay low with the PIRATES series for now. There was ALOT of hate for the sequels (despite their huge box-office) and you don’t want to risk burning the audience out too soon.

    All that legal bullshit (and subsequent WGA Strike) with THE HOBBIT actually helped it imo. There will have been enough time to “cool off” from the LOTR trilogy for audiences to enjoy HOBBIT and the “bridge” RINGS film.

    Disney should seriously consider that…

  110. I am a fan of the unjustly marginalized pirate films. The comic play between Depp and Rush was one of the things that made the 3rd a GREAT movie and if they’re going to continue this is a good direction.

    1. I personally liked Will and Elizabeth. I really want to have them be together in the end. They have a son together. I like that in the middle of all the confusion they still find time for loving eachother.. Plus Orlando Bloom is hott!
