Pirates of the carabian. The first was a masterpiece in comedy. The second and third were good but I would still rate them slightly worse each gen. I am indifferent to 4 and hate 5

The first movie was a complete package that told a story well, and where it ended was the right place to end it all. But of course, money. Really tarnished my feelings about the first movie and I don’t think I could even watch it the same way anymore.

I thought 3 was a deal better than 2. 2 was generic Hollywood schlock that dragged in the middle; 3 at least attempted some interesting things, and even bordered on artsy at times. 1 was, of course, the best. Haven’t seen 4 and 5.

5 was one of the most insultingly bad movies I’ve ever seen.

I actually thought 4 was better than 2 and 3. Not that 4 was very good, but I thought 2 and 3 suffered from an attempt to, “trilogize,” the series and make it a grand epic. It was clear by the end of the third movie that they didn’t know where they were going with all of the plot threads they’d set up like Calypso, the Brethren Court, the Jack/Elizabeth/Will love triangle they were hinting at…just way to many ideas and very little payoff. At least 4 told a coherent story in one movie, even if it wasn’t a very good story.
