The epic nature of this film franchise leads fans to wonder what the finale will bring. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man\'s Chest, with Hans Zimmer now officially at the reigns, did two things: rework elements of the first film\'s score into a more intricate, diverse, and complex score, this time with a full orchestra, and expand upon the Curse of the Black Pearl foundation with a number of new themes. The result of this was the creation of a hugely successful score and the foundation for better scores to follow. This gave the score a very direct structure with memorable theme after theme being thrown on screen without any subtlety. The original score was written quickly by numerous composers and was heavily mixed with synthesizers.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl unknowingly set the stage for an intricate franchise in terms of plots, characters, and musical themes.
