I have watched the first 3 movies many times and the 5th one in the theater, but I avoided this one for a very long time because people kept saying they didn't like it. Last night, I decided to let go all preconceptions and gave this movie a shot and I was also curious about the mermaid part because not a lot of good mermaid movies out there. Honestly, I actually liked this movie a lot. To answer your question, I don't know if someone mentioned/explained this. One of the sailors on the long boat said that a kiss from a mermaid will prevent the sailor from drowning. Also, it seems a lot of people, including me, missed this in the first time watching. They think that Syrena tried to attack Philip but got hit by debris, as a result, also pulled Philip out of the way. I went back and watch that scene. Syrena pulled Philip away from the falling debris and then attempted to swim away but got hit by debris herself. It was her intention to save him right from the beginning.

2023-09-09 07:51:21 +0000 UTCYeah, one of the problems people had about The Hobbit movies was how they had to de-age Orlando Bloom to play Legolas again. You can see a little weight gain in his face seeing as how he isn't that little thin model back in the LofR films anymore, lol. I personally don't care. Getting an actor to come back for a role and having to digital make them young again? Eh, so be it, they're still the actor everyone wants to see and they might have improved in their acting skills too. But if new blood needs to fill the role, so be that too. Films are fantasy and artist interpretations like any medium. If somebody can't see and enjoy a film because they replaced this or that actor, so be that too. Let those set on standing on their proverbial hill be, I say. I got things to do and films to enjoy rather then be held back by silly things. :) He did a great job playing Blackbeard. What I love about Blackbeard is that he is kind of a theater kid but evil. Like when he first appears, emerging from his cabin, with his beard smoking and slightly burning, with me knowing how things work back stage. Just imagining him scrabbling to singe his four beard braids and get his eye make-up on just in time to make an entrance when he senses its his cue to walk through those doors based on the conversation of mutiny he can overhear. Its a air of vanity he has about his own reputation. lol. Love it.

2023-05-17 21:01:13 +0000 UTCOh I see!! I hadn't even thought about the actors "aging out of their roles" thats a great observation and I suppose would make a lot of sense. Most people probably feel like the original trilogy was peak and anything after that (since time stops for no one) would be seen as aging out of their roles. I love the lore behind Blackbeard and thoroughly likes his character :) I look forward to the next one, TJ 😌

2023-05-17 17:49:00 +0000 UTCDid you not notice the old lady in the carriage that Jack took the earring off of was the one and only, infamous, Dame Judi Dench? :) They did say Captain Teague was Jack's dad in the last film, mostly. They implied it. After the meeting of the Pirate Lords was over, Jack walked up to him and made a few cleaver comments, as always. Captain Teague called him "Jacky-boy". Then Jack said "How's Mom?" and Captain Teague lifted up a shrunken head...long pause of realization... then Jack said, "She looks great...". lol SO the English are very traditional in their armed forces. It is tradition, since the days of early ships with oars, to have a drummer to keep beat so the rowing is in sync. Also, a drummer in the English Army is to help with marching in step and morale. During the American Revolution, the British still used rank and file marching into battle, often with drummers, trumpeters, and banner-men (men holding the company/king's flags). One of many reasons the British lost so many wars after the European Expansion/Colonization was because of their insistence to keeping to traditional styles of war while their enemies employed Guerilla tactics. Blackbeard, aka Edward Teach, is known to be deeply interested in the Occult; voodoo, legends, and myths. Also known to employ many magician tricks to enhance his own legend and intimidation and fearful reputation on the seas. Smoke, mirrors, misdirection, superstitions, and theatrics. He knew that most people end up ruining their own lives and opportunities due to panic and misinformation. The biggest problem these last 2 films were facing is the actors aging out of their characters. But they did manage to give this series a great 5 films. The main thing about the trilogy is that film 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and these last 2 were a years later, with a few years between them as well. But fret not V! One final story, atm wink wink, and it still has an mixed review like this one (like Disney does, always banking on unplanned sequels) but I think you'll get a pleasant surprise. Remember, Pirates of the Caribbean is originally a story of myths and legends and magic of the sea. Plenty of legends left, :)
