I saw it last night. It was pretty good.

I'd say:

1>2>4>3

Black Beard was sufficiently bad ass.

I can agree with that. At World's End was flat-out deplorable. The only redeeming values it had were the Hans Zimmer score and the cinematography. The acting was kinda dull and the script was utterly hackneyed.

Rambling Black Man eh? Similar to a mad black woman?

My problem with three is it had to resolve too many plot twists. While they resolved all of them it was way too many to digest in one movie. Also, they UNDERUTILIZED my boy Chow Yun Fat. he's too good of a actor to get so little screen time IMO. Thirdly was Sparrow's mind trip on the beaches of white sand... WTF?!

You jest, but it was originally supposed to be the Journal of a Mad Black Man; I changed my mind because I figured no one wanted to see another mad black man. Besides, I rarely get mad...I always ramble.

I absolutely hated what they did with Chow Yun Fat, Will and Elizabeth's story was utter twaddle speak, and it was like Johnny Depp was sleepwalking through that mind trip scene. Another thing I didn't really care for was the fact that you didn't really see Sparrow until about 45-50 minutes in. He's the main attraction, with Barbossa being a close second; the ambiguously androgynous duo were not.

That could have been a great movie series if they didn't try so damn hard to make a franchise out of it. If 2 and 3 would've been standalone movies, it would've been loads better.
