"Then what shall we die for? 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 strength of our backs...and the courage of our hearts. Gentlemen...Hoist the colors."

About me
I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean and have loved it since I was younger. I've memorized every character in all five films, and nearly every line in the first film. I own DVDs of all five films and I've watched them countless times so have a vast knowledge of the series.

POTC Films ranked worst to best (My Opinion)

 * 5- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. A generic pirate adventure, with a cliché villian, a boring story, an obvious last-minute twist, cheesy dialogue and unfunny humour.
 * 4- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I honestly don't get the hate this film gets. I get that it's different from the others, and that Elizabeth and Will aren't in it, but as its own movie I think it's pretty good.
 * 3- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. A wonderful film, with good locations, cool characters and awesome fight scenes. However, it isn't the best Pirate film. It focuses too much on Jack, I think is the main problem.
 * 2- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I like that it it's quite dark, and I love the fight scenes, but what I don't like is that they kill the British East India Trading company soldiers.
 * 1- Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. A movie which, in my opinion, is nearly perfect. A great film, with amazing battle scenes, character arcs that are believable (unlike in the fifth film), and even a brilliant soundtrack. I think the reason it did better than the sequels did is mainly because, when it came out, it wasn't something that people had seen before, but now, obviously, people have, and the sequels just feel the same over and over again.Elizabethprofile.jpg

Elizabeth Swann
She is definitely my favourite character. like her a lot because she develops the most throughout the film series. She goes from a spoilt governor's daughter, to a pirate, to a pirate lord, then becomes the king of the Brethren Court. I also think she is the strongest female lead in the series. I like Carina Smyth, but she is too cliché.

James Norrington
James is an awesome character. I like his costume, and I like that he's so nice to Elizabeth Swann when she chooses Will Turner over him. He was brave enough to duel with Koehler and the other cursed crew members, and even when he is dying by the hand of Bootstrap Bill Turner, he still tries to stab Davy Jones with his sword from Will. He's just a really cool character, at least in my opinion.

Theodore Groves
Groves is probably my second favorite character. Just like with Commodore Norrington, I love his costume. I like him in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, because, even though he has a pretty tiny role, he is quite funny (although my fifty-year old mother thinks he's hot). In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, he isn't as funny as in the first film, but I like that he was more serious. In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, he's actually a sort-of important character, and I was very excited about that. I know this wiki says he definitely died, and I know there's no proof he survived, but I hope he's still alive, and if they ever make a Pirates of the Caribbean 6, it would be pretty cool to see him back as Lieutenant Commander again.

Lian and Park
Lian and Park are pretty cool (well, until they are each individually shot in the head by Ian Mercer). But, before they are executed, they are pretty awesome in the fight, where they kill many East India Trading Company soldiers.

Anamaria, Marty and Cotton
Anamaria may be a sort of cleche female character, but I like her, and I wish she stuck around in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest onwards. Cotton and his parrot are quite funny, and I hope Cotton wasn't killed in Blackbeard's attack. Marty is badass, and quite cute.

Joshamee Gibbs
He is a really interesting character. He is knowledgeable in all the different myths, legends and other things in the Caribbean. He is one of the only characters who is actually still loyal to Captain Jack Sparrow, and he is quite good with a sword. Gibbs has appeared in all five Pirates of the Caribbean films, but, surprisingly, he does not have a single poster!

Quotes
"Ever walk on the beach, look back, and see your footsteps in the sand? It's like that, except the footsteps lie before me." "Footstep, actually."

- Hector Barbossa and Lieutenant Gillette

"You. Corner of Dock Street and Third Avenue. You come for the wedding?" "Clearly." "You shouldn't have. And by that, I mean, you shouldn't have." "You are getting married? How far along are you?" "Ha! My groom has dreamy eyes and speaks fancy words, with lots of syllables." "My groom is a cap'n. Men all over the world speak his name..." [showing off her finger which wore engagement ring with a red-ish diamond] [showing off a very similar ring]"Perhaps you've heard of my fiancé?" [both]"Jack Sparrow?" [both growl in anger] "That scoundrel! Thinks he can marry the both of us!"

- Giselle and Scarlett

"Which ship should we follow?" "Signal the Dutchman to track down Sao Feng. We follow the Pearl. How soon can we have the ship ready to pursue?" [the Endeavour's mainmast crashes on deck] "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?"

- Theodore Groves and Cutler Beckett

"That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen." "So it would seem."

- Theodore Groves and James Norrington on Jack Sparrow

"Sorry, but it's for your own safety!" "I don't care what the Commodore ordered! I have to tell him! The pirates! They're cursed! They can't be killed!" "Don't worry, Miss. He's already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story.[chuckles]"

- Gillette and Elizabeth Swann about the cursed pirates.

"Barbossa, why you not giving the order to man the bones? All the Brethren are gathering in this place now. You can force them to do as you want." "But what I want is not to act a fool. What you're suggesting is not but fool's folly." "If you no longer want my favor, Barbossa, then perhaps I should be calling a different captain to my cause. Witty Jack would not turn down the promise to survive the coming storm, I think." "I do not renege on a bargain once struck. But we agreed on ends only. The means are mine to decide." "Caution, Barbossa. Do not forget it was by my power you return from the dead. Or what it mean if you fail me." "Don't you forget why you had to bring me back. Why I could not leave Jack to his well-deserved fate. And why I could not give Sao Feng a second smile in his throat to match that ineffably smug one that he wears on his face. It took nine Pirate Lords to bind you, Calypso. And it'll take no less than nine to set you free. Until then, I'll not be taking your commands or risking your reach an accord with someone else. Masters Pintel and Ragetti, take this fishwife to the brig."

- Tia Dalma and Hector Barbossa

"Lemons ward off scurvy." "And what makes you think that?" "I have no scurvy. But all of you do."

- Henry Turner and Officer Cole

"I heard you were putting together a crew." "If enough people keep saying it, then it must be true." "I heard where you're headed. The Fountain." "Have you been there?" "Does this face looks like it's been to the Fountain of Youth?" "...Depends on the light."

- Edward Teague and Jack Sparrow
