This was such an experience! At World's End had this almost mythic depth to it and it felt like I was stepping into a whirlwind of chaos, loyalty, and heartbreak. Elizabeth ended up stealing my heart this time. Seeing her grow into her own power as Pirate King, carrying both strength and sorrow so elegantly along the way, made her my favorite part of the story.Her love for Will was hard to read at times. It had me rooting for them through every hard twist and turn, because I knew deep down, they were soul mates just lost at sea. Swept up in the side quests of pirate life. Will's choices and sacrifices, especially in the end, show just how deep his commitment is. Not just to her, but to the idea of doing what is right, even when it costs him everything.Then there's Jack. He remains so chaotic and unpredictable lol. But by the end, you see how essential he is to the story. Not just for the funny bits, but as the one who constantly challenges the other characters to take risks and embrace the unpredictable. His wit felt like the true heartbeat of the entire trilogy, and even when everything seems at its darkest, Jack somehow pulls everyone through. I absolutely LOVED his character throughout these films and get why he has been such an iconic figure for so long.

And Hans Zimmer. WOW. Every note made the adventure feel alive, tragic, and epic all at once. Honestly, Zimmer carried the soul of the story in this one and pulled me deeper into the legends unfolding on the screen. I feel like I really need to get tickets to that orchestra coming to Columbus this fall now 👀I'll admit I was a little confused about Governor Swann's death. It happened so suddenly that I almost felt like I missed out on something huge. I think it just shows how much they packed into this film! There was so much going on with the lore, the politics, the betrayals. It feels like one of those movies that begs to be rewatched after unfolding the true story in order to catch all the pieces of eight being scattered throughout. This trilogy was absolutely beautiful in every way. These are way more than pirate stories for kids. They are deep, dark tales about love, sacrifice, loyalty, and chaos. Sitting with the end of this trilogy, I feel like I've been swept away on a sun-soaked, storm-tossed voyage. And I can't wait to dive into more of these adventures with you all next summer! ✨ Until then, "drink up, me hearties, yo ho!"

I think the scene where Will and Elizabeth get married while fighting pirates in a storm is so cool. The cinematography of it, the choreography, the narrative context. There's a lot that happens in this movie and over the years I forgot a lot of it, but that scene always stuck with me.

kaliwali

Yessss! It was so epic and beautiful. It pulled at all my heart strings 😭✨ I think the scene that's burned into my brain forever from this one is Beckett slowly walking down the stairs as his ships getting destroyed 🫨😮‍💨 Idk why that just shook me to the core

Ventena

So excited for this!

Richard

I don’t remember many details about this one, so I’m looking forward to this watch. Is this the one with the conjugal visits? 😂 Kali your cosplay skills are still top notch - that is a very cute piratess outfit. Sounds like you enjoyed this trilogy a lot so . . . yay!🏴‍☠️Summer vibes was an amazing idea! Crazy fun. Did you enjoy the lobster despite the rip-off factor?

Im sorry if i got your hopes up with my misinformation on “Hans Zimmer live”! I thought he was touring the US again but it looks like he’s touring internationally for a while. There’s an American show that’s curated by Hans called “World of Hans Zimmer” which is hitting American cities this fall but he won’t perform personally in those since he will be touring in Europe. That’s what bamboozled me. When I saw him live it was new and there was only one touring Zimmer show. Still though, I’m glad to see he’s branching out with his performance shows and realizing the demand! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the orchestra and hopefully he tours his live show back in the states again soon! It was awesome!

TheJoeKerr

Just wanted to check to see if you saw the end credit scene since the vid stopped before it

MrSafi

One of my favourite villain death scenes. Just so epic.

Chris

“… shows for me how much they packed into this film.” This is why, for me, Pirates 2 & 3 didn’t really work. They spent so much energy on plots that sent the characters hither and thither chasing Maguffins, it felt like they lost sight of what really made the first one work: Depp being charmingly weird. The best stuff in the first one is when he’s just talking and not much is going on, and I felt like they forgot that…

This was so good! I think one of the things I really enjoyed about this whole series is that they reward you for paying attention. There are so many inside jokes, moments, and arcs that call back to earlier in the film or previous movies. And watching these all back to back in a couple weeks and keeping them fresh, felt so rewarding for me. Like Elizabeth's speech... omg. It had so much power because it was three movies in the making So many crazy audio / visual moments in this one too! Thinking about the music, I feel like some of the most epic scores from Hans Zimmer in these movies have been during moments of destruction. Thinking back to the Kraken devouring its first ship in the second movie, and of course the obliteration of Beckett's ship at the end. Like you said, that sight is not leaving my head anytime soon. Thanks for the reactions to these films! I really enjoyed discovering them along with you!

IMSO

Great reaction as always, but sad that you missed the end credit scene, i think you would have loved it :'(

Other Chris

“You have a touch of destiny about you William turner.” The compass points to the thing you want most so it pointed to rum. Once he had rum in hand, it pointed to the fountain of youth. So in a way, you were right.

KJ

I'm glad you appreciate the dark fairytale side. Some people struggle to make sense of this movie, somehow forgetting it's magic and fantasy. It's loosely based in naval history but mostly based in naval mythology.

Phil Stubblefield

Great reaction to a very entertaining movie, Kali! By the way, I'm with you: I thoroughly enjoy the film, but I've never quite grasped the intricacies of all of the plot lines! Like you, I loved seeing Will and Elizabeth finally marry, but *loathed* the choice of immediately making Will captain the Flying Dutchman, thereby preventing them from seeing each other more than once every decade. On the other hand, it was *so* gratifying to see the Endeavour demolished and Beckett finally receive his just desserts! The scene of him looking down from the quarterdeck as the ship is destroyed from both sides... amazing! You're probably too young to recognize the man who played Captain Teague, the keeper of the Pirate Codex. It's Keith Richards, the guitarist of the Rolling Stones! After the first film, Johnny Depp had said that Jack Sparrow was partially inspired by Richards, who turned out to be quite interested in appearing in the films. And not just as a random pirate, but as the father of Jack himself... which he figuratively was! (Apparently, both Depp and Richards tried to talk Mick Jagger into appearing as well, but he declined.) These films are often brushed aside as run-of-the-mill action films, but they actually contain some great acting. Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa is amazing! He delivers his lines with such characteristic precision and inflection. Bill Nighy's performance as Davy Jones is often overlooked because of the amzing CGI, but his sharply punctuated consonants make his character so unique. (Try using his sharply punctuated consonants to say the phrase "sharply punctuated consonants"!) One of my favorite things about these films is the clever, humorous dialog! One of the most well known is of course Barbossa's response to Elizabeth in the first film: Elizabeth: "Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal." Barbossa: "There were a lot of long words in there, miss. We're naught by humble pirates. What is it that you want?" Elizabeth: "I want you to leave and never come back." Barbossa: "I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means, 'No.'" This entry in the series contains many fantastic lines as well, whether unexpectedly articulate or just downright funny: * Sao Feng: "Wouldn't it be amazing if this venture of yours took you to the world beyond this one?" Barbossa: "It would strain credulity, at that..." * Gibbs: "Slap me thrice and hand me to my mama!" 😂 * Captain Jack: "What say you about the condition of this tack line?" Seaman Jack: "It be proper to my eyes, sir." Captain Jack: "Proper? It is neither proper nor suitable, sir. It is not acceptable nor adequate. It is, in obvious fact, an abomination." * Elizabeth: "Pretty speech from a captor. But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm." Ouch! * Jack: "Out of all the things you can do, what will you do? If I might lend a machete to your intellectual thicket...avoid the choice altogether." Of course, no discussion of the script would be complete without praise for Elizabeth's speech! The contrast could not be greater between her first arrival on the Black Pearl, when she parlayed with Barbossa in near terror, to this occasion, when she boldly stood atop the railing and roused the crew with a commanding speech: "You will listen to me. Listen! The Brethren will still be looking here to us, to the Black Pearl, to lead. And what will they see? Frightened bilge rats aboard a derelict ship? No. No, they will see free men and freedom! And what the enemy will see is the flash of our cannons. They will hear the ring of our swords, and they will know what we can do. By the sweat of our brows and the strengths of our backs... and the courage of our hearts. Gentlemen... hoist the colors." That speech just gives me chills! I think it's one of the best battle speeches in cinema, on par with those by Aragorn or Braveheart. Random notes: * Kudos for pronouncing GIF with a hard G! * The callback to the dog holding the prison keys! As I've said before, this is an homage to the original Disneyland ride, and as such is very nostalgic to old farts like me! * After surrendering his wooden eye to help free Calypso, Ragetti puts on an eye patch... thus achieving the full-fledged pirate stereotype! * Although the Endeavour was destroyed in the end, triple-decker warships are terrifying! * Kali, I'm not sure whether you noticed that the ever present pair of Royal Marines, Murtogg and Mullroy, actually defected to the pirate crew during the battle in the maelstrom. They fight alongside the pirates and later appear in one of the final scenes on the Pearl. * I think you also missed the short after-credit scene. Nothing vital to the story line, but it would have brought a few more tears to your eyes... 🥲 Finally, please forgive me if I sound patronizing, but could you be any more adorable? "C'mon, Hans Zimmer! I'm already feeling things..." Us too, Kali! Us too! 🥹

Here's my only qualm about this fun swashbuckling adventure: William can only touch land 1 day every ten years. Can they not meet on a dinghy/rowboat or ship whenever? Davy Jones manifested on the Black Pearl to visit his love, could Turner not do the same? The Flying Dutchman teleports to the land of the Dead at Sea when the green sky thingy happens that says a soul has passed in the Ocean, and Jones's lack of his duties is what caused the "mutations" of his crew. I can get behind that. But couldn't he work overtime to get a day off every so often? While many were at the time lost to the Sea, maybe he could put them on hold for a date night? Also, they both sacrificed themselves out of Love to become pirates (recall first movie they both claimed to loathe them), and since he's "Good Davy Jones" couldn't Elizabeth volunteer to be on his crew? Intrusive thoughts. Loved the reaction as always.

Josh B.

Oh no you didn't stay for the credits to see the after credit scene I hope you make a separate video of reacting to it, as for the the 4th it is a nice little fun side adventure with Jack, but the 5th is a nice cap on the story of the main 3, so I am looking forward to when you get to those eventually :D

Kristoffer

Kali, have you ever considered watching foreign movies? I ask this because firstly, you are the best reactor out there, and secondly im Danish, and i would love to suggest a very great and heavy movie called The Hunt from 2012, starring Mads Mikkelsen.

kaliwali

Thank you! It was fun putting together piratey outfits for this series since I kinda knew what to expect. But the depth and mystical part of it was a huuuuge surprise! I definitely enjoyed these films a lot and it has me excited for summertime vibes next year :) And yes haha. It was very good :)

kaliwali

Ahh that's okay! I think the candlelit orchestra will be AMAZING. I see they're doing some in September and October so I'll try my hardest to make it to one of the Hans Zimmer orchestras this year, but we'll see ✨

kaliwali

I totally missed it!! I caught the other two, but I wrapped up my outro before it hit so my ADHD brain did not remember to look out for it... I guess I can react to it before I begin the fourth one next summer! Might be a neat way to jump back into them 🤷🏻‍♀️ So sad I missed it!

kaliwali

I'm sad too! I guess I can stick it in the intro of the fourth film when I finally get to it 👀🤷🏻‍♀️😭

kaliwali

Yessss. Elizabeth's speech did not have to go that hard lol. And it totally was three whole movies in the making which made it so much more impactful ✨ I didn't expect her to come out a favorite after her shenanigans with Jack in the last one lol. I just didn't love that she let her love for Will get confused with the chaos and 'bad boy' nature of Jack. But I guess I can totally understand it as well 🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed these films as much as I did! Felt like a perfect and epic way to wrap up the summertime vibes series and has me excited to kick off next summer with the rest of them (and that end credit scene I totally missed of course hahaha. classic)

kaliwali

I feel the opposite for me which is interesting lol. I think they really went all out with these films and the writing in it drew back to even the very first film so many times, it honestly made it incredible. I do think that parts of this were confusing because the world building went absolutely insaneeeee. But I do love the pirate lore and love they put into these films because it shows you just how many tales of the sea are out there to explore. And this movie brought literally all of them to life haha

kaliwali

LOL ahhh, makes much more sense! 😭🤣

kaliwali

I think that's what I loved about it the most! I went in expecting naval history, but loooooved the deep dive off the mythology end. It made it so much more enjoyable to not take itself seriously and get swept up in teh magic of the sea ✨

kaliwali

Such a thoughtful and packed comment, thank you!! You hit on a ton of things that I've loved (and honestly struggled with) about this movie. The fate of Will and Elizabeth was absolutely brutal for me to watch for awhile lol. But the wedding amidst the chaos of war was so beautiful and was such a satisfying way to finally bring them back to each other. Definitely one of the coolest romance moments I've ever seen! And the Endevour's destruction was pure cinematic perfection. I actually had no clue that was Keith Richards haha! Very cool full-circle moment considering Depp's inspiration. All the callbacks in this film made it feel like the perfect trilogy wrap up! I absolutely looooved finding all the easter eggs from the previous two and how they stuck silly inside jokes in there but didn't make it feel forced or cringy. At least not 100% of the time 🤣 And yesss Hans Zimmer completely got me in this one. Up there with his work in Interstellar for me, personally. He just brought so much emotion and love into this score and my admiration for him just couldn't get any stronger 😭 I'm glad you enjoyed this wrap-up to our Summertime Vibes series! Teh last one is a silly romance movie that I can't wait to get into, but this ride felt super epic and summer soaked. Really glad I decided to put it on the summertime list this year!

Musashi

If I can throw in my opinion, I'd honestly prefer watching without subtitles because they take away some of the epicness and atmosphere of the film. Also, they can spoil scenes because the text shows up earlier than the words spoken, so they potentially spoil the reveal. It's just not how a movie is meant to be watched/experienced originally. And I personally don't care if you don't get everything immediately because I also didn't get it when I was watching for the first time

kaliwali

Bahaha love the intrusive thoughts tho! You're asking the same questions I'm sure a lot of us had internally. The one day in ten years thing feels very cruel and unnecessary especially seeing as how Davey Jones was constantly in their world. But I kinda chalked that up to what Calypso said- He wasn't doing his duty & so that's what turned his crew and himself into the monster he became. I love Will's face too much to see him become an octopus LOL. But I could have misinterpreted that. There was so much flying around in this movie plot wise that makes me definitely need to go back to fully understand it all. Also, YES. I feel like Elizabeth definitely would have volunteered to be a part of his crew given his fate and their new marriage! It sounds like a very Elizabeth thing to do. But then again, she has let her love for Will hit the backburner before when adventure and chaos called (in the form of Jack Sparrow). Now as Pirate King, who knows where her compass is actually pointing now 🤣 But I do agree that it would have been such a piratey love story twist and one that they definitely could have shipped (pun intended)

kaliwali

Tooootally missed the end credit scene on this one, I'm sorry!! I'll definitely react to it when I start up my reaction to the fourth film! It would have been nice to tie it into this one, but my brain definitely forgot to look for the end credit scene.

kaliwali

I wouldn't mind starting up a foreign movie watchlist with some recommendations on there! I had a couple reach out on Instagram recently about foreign movies that they'd love to watch me see! So, I'll start up a list and put The Hunt on there for sure. Thank you!!

kaliwali

Totally fair take and one that I've seen a lot of in YouTube comments when people realize I watch some films with subtitles! I get what you mean, and I also agree that subtitles can pull you out of the atmosphere or tip off a line before it's spoken. When I use subtitles, I try to keep this in mind and only look at them for clarification on a name or if I can't hear a soft-spoken character. As a reactor, this makes it much easier for my brain to keep track while I'm also trying to voice my own thoughts in real time. I don't' do it for every film, though! And when I decide to put them on, I still try to balance it depending on the movie. But I appreciate your perspective :) It's a good reminder that subtitles can definitely affect the experience differently for everyone and I try to be really mindful about when, where and how to use them 💙

Musashi

Oh my god, this movie was so much better than I remembered. Truly a masterful trilogy!

Musashi

All right, that's a good approach, I like it

Dude Longcouch

I can't disagree with any particular point you made, but I just need my emotional support subtitles, man.

KJ

I'm still blown away by the digital fx & makeup for the crew of The Flying Dutchman. And what an amazing, complex performance Bill Nighy gave as Davy Jones.

Beñat

I still have no idea how Disney let the filmmakers shoot that opening scene, lol. Also, don't know if you've seen it, but there's a pretty satisfying post-credit scene that you might wanna check out.

rSb - Rob Benjamin

Yeesss, you should DEFINITELY go and make it a point to see that orchestra you were talking about. I don't usually go to orchestras, but if I were in your shoes, I would go out of my way to check that out, especially as I, too, love Zimmer's work and it would be amazing to hear an homage to his work.

Jonathan Martin

You should record it and splice it in at the end. You don't want to wait a hole year. It doesn't tie into the next movies at all.

Jonathan Martin

The only people that can be on his crew and volunteer are being that are dying so Elizabeth could not join the crew. Either be ferried over to the afterlife or join the crew and delay it.

Nina

Cutler Beckett is amazing ❤️❤️

Taner

Hello, I might be a little late to ask, but did you give up on watching the other Pirates of the Caribbean movies, or did you forget? 😊

kaliwali

I'm planning to watch them this summer actually ☺️

Taner

I’m glad to hear that, and thank you for answering my question so quickly

Taner

Oops, you already mentioned it at the beginning. I commented before watching the video—sorry
