This film about Captain Jack "Lucky" Aubrey and his fight against the French aboard the Acheron does not have the reckless spirit of adventure that is found in other top pirate films like Pirates of the Caribbean.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Rating - 8.3
The first film about Jack's adventures ... that is, Captain Jack Sparrow was accepted by the audience with a bang. And there are several explanations for this: an unusual protagonist, instantly acting, ironic, narcissistic and at the same time noble in his own way, a whole galaxy of good actors, such as Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush, memorable minor characters (we separately mention the wonderful monkey- skeleton) and an exciting action that does not get bored even for a minute. And what is the musical accompaniment in this film, it cannot be explained in words, you need to listen to it and admire it. But the idea of creating this picture arose thanks to the positive impression of the pirate attraction at Disneyland.
