Na. Johnny depp did a good job as jack. The problem was the writing staff. I mean, writting about pirates is easy, but the writers of pirates and the carribbean keep having some obsession with immortality that keeps getting in the way of pirates being pirates.
Movie 1: Pirates cursed with immortal life. Must lift curse by taking disney steroytypical hero and curropting him. Throw in love interest. This one worked cause well, the pirates did pirate stuff like raid a town and fight pirates.
Movie 2: Superbad shows up to make pirates regret giving up immortal life. Fight over way to save them from superbad for half the movie. This one didnt work as well cause well, the good guys are now worst then the pirates for some reason, and theres not really much pirate stuff.
Movie 3: Pirates regret giving up immortal life, want to take it back. In the end decides love and friendship is more important then immortality. Also lets see how epic we can make a climax. Well throw in a huge fight sceene surrounding a wedding, with a moral to go on top, and even some comic relief on the side, and just when you think its over, well make an explosion in slow motion. also no pirate stuff, less you count pirates apperntly being some sorta super secret united nations like club.
Movie 4: Jacks old friend wants immortal life to save her father who is a really evil bad man, jack tries to convince her otherwise. And the little mermaid is going on over in the background, why you ask? well I have no idea. Seriously this movies plot makes no sense. I have a feeling after a sequal it might make slightly more sense, but really, dont introduce two characters to replace the old couple if you give them less screentime then tenten. and despite that, they did no pirate stuff. This one was closer to a legend of zelda game then a pirate movie. Jack, you must go to the three temples to collect the artifacts to get the potion to save princess zelda, who is a pirate. get it cause in windwaker they were all pirates...nvm.

meant that if someone else had been jack, they'd have focused on doing pirate stuff instead of... wacky stuff. lol
hmm, so 4 has no real return of being a pirate... although they claim mermaid capturing is now pirate-y.
well, maybe if Link had been a pirate himself instead of an island boy. =p

but jacks character was written to be that way. Im sure johny brought some of it to the character, but he didnt bring all of it.
maybe if they captured her to sell for money or something, but they capture the mermaid because they need her tears to open a magic door to the fountain of youth
that would make a fun journey parody.. just an island boy, born and raised in south hyrul, he took the twilight boat going an-y-where~

true, but then jack wouldn't have been nearly as important a character first time I've even heard of the idea of mermaid capturing so it was clearly just an idea made up for this movie in order to have... mermaids in the movie I guess. so it would make more sense if the pirates were trying to sell them... but just for the tears isn't very pirate like. I suppose you could claim it was all a treasure hunt for the pirates, only this treasure was immortality. there we go! the person that did that other parody should go and do one for each game =D www.minifigs.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=38165

tho they would have had a harder time making jack that way without depp playing him. that's what we meant XD
that whole immortality thing confused me. first they didn't want it, but then they wanted it again?
