Pirates 3 referencing Pirates 1. Plus the line is awkward to say (as the actor clearly discovered).
Pirates 3 has self-parody replacing the really great archetypes of Pirates 1. The reveal of The Bloomster at the helm of The Flying Dutchman was one of the most gloriously cheesy things I've seen in a while but it lacked the zestiness and mischeviousness of Pirates 1, I think. It felt overdone.
I also think Jack Sparrow went from being a fascinating, quixotic epicentre to a Jar-Jar-like annoyance in this one. They pulled his teeth. He wasn't dangerous. The double-dealing fell flat for me because it seemed a forgone conclusion that the good guys were going to be vindicated in the end.
When you make pirates safe they lose their excitement and romantic appeal.
I enjoyed the spectacle of it but I thought it was overlong. The battle on the maelstrom goes on so long that I lost any sense of tension, as the peril they were in seemed in no hurry to realise itself.
Knightly's "rousing" speech lacked guts and made me squirm.
Nighy's splendid (and beautifully realised) Davy Jones and his "Dead Man's Chest" (TM) were consigned to the status of a MacGuffin.
The "fearsome" Calypso let some water out of the plughole and then pissed off down the pub, apparently.
This one also lacked the feel of the period that Pirates 1 maintained. This one is very much cast adrift in a "fantasy" milieu, whereas Pirates 1 had a definite feel of place and time.
All in all, I feel that Pirates 2 & 3 constitute a missed opportunity. Pirates 1 is the work of enduring appeal.
