Personally, I didn't enjoy it that much. It was okay, but it wasn't as great as I was led to believe. I still like the first movie the best. The other two just don't fit. They have a different feel to them, and I don't really like it.

The first one was seriously far more child friendly than 2 was, and likely 3 as well. Also, it seemed close to the realm of lore and whatnot. 2 was so far out there even people who tell myths of pirates would laugh at it.
I haven't seen three, I want to, it's hard to seriously disappoint me, however I want to see it more to see how it ends.

I really liked the whole pirate circle, and all the cute little parts. My expectations weren't high, and were exceeded by that account.

I was disappointed. The length made it kinda unenjoyable. That whole scene where Jack was going nuts was almost completely unnecessary and wasted something like 20 minutes. I wasn't impressed by Orlando Bloom's or Kiera Knightley's acting, per usual, and the actor who plays Davy Jones just flopped (in terms of acting) as soon as the character got romantic. I really did enjoy the action scenes though, they were VERY well done, especially the opening action sequence. I loved that line "go ahead, he isn't our man" xD That was priceless. There were a few other really good comedic parts and Keith Richards was just awesome. Overall, Geoffery Rush (Capt. Hector Barbossa) and Johnny Depp carried Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Anyone else have flashbacks to Attack of the Forty Foot Woman when Calypso was released? The ending also left me unsatisfied, though I give it props for irony. Depp has said that he's not opposed to doing a fourth movie, which, personally, I think would be great since it would have minimal Bloom and Knightley and more Deep and Rush.

I loved it. I must say, I think it was my favorite of the three. All the main actors did a great job, the action was great, the sets were amazing as per usual, and the whole movie just flowed. Sure, it wasn't brain surgery, but it always wasn't stupid, and it didn't try to insert some insipid message about love and family at the end. It was exactly what it advertised - just plain fun.
Although, I have to say, please - no more movies. It was a fun little trilogy, can we not kill its fond memories by turning it into a cashcow years after years? (That's what ever expanding DVD sets are for, guys!)
I thought it was good. Not as good as the first, but better than the second. I was extremely tired when I saw it opening night though, so I had a lot of trouble keeping my mind focused on the last battle, considering it's length. I might go back and see it again next weekend with some family that hasn't seen it.
And for the record, I actually thought Kiera Knightly did a great job. She almost took over the main role of the movie from Cap'n Jack considering how her role has gradually increased as the movies came out, and I thought she did an outstanding job.
How long is it anyway?
