First one was decent, the rest of the movies was overrated horsecrap. Just because it had Johnny Depp in a movie, doesn't make it automatically fantastic. I'd rather watch his other movies like Edward Scissors Hands and Sweeney Todd. Johnny Depp + Tim Burton = Great. PotC just turned to crap after the first movie. Lacked the realism (even when you suspend your belief for the undead) and charm of the first release.
I think the first one was a GREAT movie, especially in HD. The other two are alright, they both have great effects and decent stories, but it's really all about showing of the HD fun.
there is a strong chance there wont be another one, because all of the actor's contracts run out after 3 movies. so if there is another, it might not be with Johnny Depp
I liked all of them first was definitally the best when looking at story, atmosphere and overall movie 2 wasn't special, 3 had amazing special effects and a great soundtrack. overall I liked them, but please don't let them make a 4th...
