I decided to revisit the classic (Is it a classic? It's been 20 years since the first one, IDK) Pirates of the Caribbean. Wow, I remember thinking it was good when I first watched it but it's even better now that I'm older and actually understand what's going on. The creativity is insane. I love the Marvel movies of today but their use of Special FX and CGI is sometimes excessive. With Pirates, there was a lot of this but it only added to the film. In the second movie, the undead barnacle men on Davy Jones's ship looked very realistic and disgusting. Also, Jack Sparrow is a phenomenal character. I think that Johnny Depp for the role of Jack Sparrow and Kiera Knightley as Elizabeth Swann was spectacular choice by the director.

One thing I love about this film series is, not only is it action-packed (which I love), but it is very different from common action movies. If you think of the most popular action movies, John Wick series, James Bond series, Inception, The Matrix– the settings are always the same– in an urban or suburban area (on land). However, Pirates takes place mostly on the ocean. This must have been very hard to do for the cast, camera crew, etc., constantly being on a large ship on the water. However, their efforts were very much worth it because the film is amazing.
