There is no more peculiar Hollywood property persisting into the present day than the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The series was one of the few standout blockbusters of the 2000s, making a ton of money with its initial trilogy and actually turning out three decent films. However, it’s been nine years since World’s End, nine long years of bad Jack Sparrow impressions, terrible Johnny Depp flops, and an evolving blockbuster landscape that has quickly left the Pirates movies in the past.
Their single attempt to keep up with the times was Stranger Tides in 2011, which turned out to be the worst film of the series and did nothing to delay the series slide into irrelevancy.
