It seems that Captain Jack owes a blood debt to one of the most feared and legendary pirates on the high seas, the great Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), who rules the ocean depths in the Flying Dutchman. Subtitled Dead Man's Chest, part two finds Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) on the verge of holy matrimony when they are pulled back into another adventure with Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Sparrow isn't the whole movie, but Verbinski, Bruckheimer and writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio were smart enough to realize that Jack is the key component to all future Pirates movies. And now Jack is back, along with the rest of the cast in slightly more supporting roles. After a billion dollars worldwide box office, the call came down from the mouse house: Two sequels, shot back-to-back. Now, Pirates was a smash, audiences loved Sparrow and couldn't wait for more. The role bumped Depp up to A-list status for the first time. But reason number one that Pirates of the Caribbean worked was Johnny Depp's unforgettable characterization of Captain Jack Sparrow. The action was fun, the sets were exceptional, and the supporting characters were wildly original and fun. Pirates of the Caribbean was a rollicking adventure-epic, a return to the action-driven popcorn films of matinee idols like Errol Flynn.
