As for the fifth installment, Rush has referred to Barbossa as a "corporate pirate" who has amassed immense influence and wealth for his fleet and brags of his showcased riches.

Actor Geoffrey Rush has expressed fondness with the potential and development of his character, who evolved throughout the series and ventured into different terrains every film, which kept him challenged as an actor: while he was only a classical evil villain in the first film, he turned into a pirate politician, hosting a " G 20 summit of pirate lords", and in the fourth film has turned legitimate and works for the king. As it appeared only on the DVD commentary, writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio originally thought it was fan-made when they saw it on the Internet, and decided to use it nonetheless. Johnny Depp proposed the character's first name "Hector" on set of the first film, although it is never mentioned in the film. While in the first film, Barbossa was conceptualized as a villain, as a "dark trickster" and evil counterpart to Jack Sparrow, Rush felt that he was playing the unsung hero of the film, who only dreamed about lifting the curse and living as a rich rogue with his prized pirate bride. Originally, Rush was only second choice for the role behind Robert De Niro, who turned it down as he expected the film to flop like previous pirate films did. Throughout the series, the character has been conceptualized as a "dark trickster" and the evil counterpart of Captain Jack Sparrow. However, he is revealed to have been brought back to life at the end of Dead Man's Chest before appearing in antiheroic supporting roles as a Pirate Lord in At World's End (2007), a privateer with the Royal Navy in On Stranger Tides (2011), and finally as the rich and influential leader of his own pirate fleet in Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). Starting out as a villainous undead pirate in The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), the character dies at the end of the film. The love interest came in the form of a too-good(looking)-to-be-true clergy and a mermaid, although it was a bit weak and more of an aside to the plot rather than an integral part.Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.Ĭaptain Hector Barbossa is a fictional character of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, appearing in all films of the series. Ok, so the plot’s rather shaky not to mention hard to follow in places (the opening scene was two men in a boat but I honestly don’t know who they were, what they were doing or why they were there).įor me, the absence of Keira and Orlando didn’t make that much of an impact I thought Penelope Cruz was well cast and there was definite chemistry between her and Jonny Depp, not necessarily of a sexual nature but then that’s not really what Pirates is all about. The film more or less starts with Jack Sparrow doing what he does best escaping from the authorities by swinging on various things while dropping one-liners with a poker-dumb face. I already knew that the critics had panned it so was prepared for the worst I may be a fan, but I’m also a realist. Even the seats themselves are far superior to regular cinema seats, being both much bigger and with more space around them so you’re not bumping elbows with your neighbour (unless you want to, of course).īut back to the film my view may have a slight bias I guess, but I’ll try to keep it as fair as possible. We were on the back row and still had a great view. The screen itself is HUGE, 20 feet high apparently, and bigger than I could have imagined. It was my first visit to the IMAX, which I was very impressed with there’s a very civilised café and bar downstairs, with another bar upstairs as well as the usual pix & mix, popcorn etc.
