"Hoist the colours!"
Hello everyone!
Or should I say arrrrr?
These past two weekends, AXN decided to premiere Pirates of the Caribbean, introducing the first four movies into its regular program, which delighted me to no end because, one, these movies are amazing, and two, you can never, and I mean never, have enough of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Now to be frank, me and Johnny don't really go well together. I admire him for certain of his roles - but definitely not all - and I will admit I can see the appeal he has for women.
Sadly, not for me.
That being said, however, I thoroughly enjoy his portrayal of Jack, and without the iconic character these movies would certainly not be as successful as they are today. And while it's been on choppy seas since the first trilogy, Jack saved the day and prevented the subsequent movie from being a complete disaster, despite the fact that there were very few original characters who returned for the telling.
And as I'm definitely in the pirate vein just before Easter, and also because this year marks its tenth anniversary, I figured to myself: whyever not? Why shouldn't I do a blog post about the third (and at the time final) Pirates movie, At World's End?
