Johnny Depp's Pirates Of The Caribbean Ending Is Already Perfect
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales gave Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow the perfect ending after 14 years of Pirate adventures negating the need for Pirates 6 to wrap up his arc. Since 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean has been a major part of pop culture, with Johnny Depp's wacky and whimsical Jack Sparrow being the main reason behind the franchise's success. As time has gone on, the quality of the Pirates films has declined, sinking to an all-time low with 2017's, Dead Men Tell No Tales, which earned Johnny Depp a Razzie nomination, and failed to reach the box Office numbers of its predecessor: Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. However, despite this apparent failure, Dead Men Tell No Tales actually provided the ideal send-off for one of modern Hollywood's most recognizable characters.
Dead Men Tell No Tales sees Captain Jack Sparrow face off against Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), who has escaped the "Devil's Triangle" and is coming for revenge after Jack defeated him long ago. Jack Sparrow largely takes a back seat in favor of new cast members Brenton Thwaites and Kay Scodelario (Henry Turner and Carina Smith respectively) as they try to find the trident of Poseidon which can break all curses, including the one linking William Turner to the Flying Dutchman. While most of the characters behaved fairly predictably (with Geoffrey Rush's Barbossa proving particularly popular), Jack Sparrow's characterization seemed off throughout the film – overly drunk, never coming up with any schemes and frequently escaping through luck rather than wits. Given this, and despite the film ending on a high note for everyone else, it's hard to see Jack's ending as satisfactory. Yet, it is.
