i'd have to go with 3. i honestly think geoffrey rush outshone everyone else in the movie. the lack of him in dead man's chest is probably why it's my least favorite of the four, even though it is still quite good.

Curse of the Black Pearl, to me, came together better than the rest of the films in the series did. I also wasn't a huge fan of the side characters in any of them. I could just barely tolerate Will and Elizabeth, both being hit or miss (more miss than hit too).

In order from fave to least fave is;
P.O.T.C - Curse of The Black Pearl
P.O.T.C - Dead Man's Chest AND At Worlds End (They tie in as equally good for me)
P.O.T.C - On Stranger Tides.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed watching the 4th installment, but things just seemed off with it. I felt the first 3 were a complete story, like LOTR. They wrapped it up and that was that. The 4th one felt like an unnecessary but enjoyable add-on of a video game -

My favorite is probably Dead Man's Chest thanks to Davy Jones and especially the Kraken (which completely stole the show in my opinion and its absence hurt the third instalment a little), but I love all of these movies and its one of my most favorite franchises of all time (I actually much prefer this over LoTR).
I'm having a hard time waiting for Dead Men Tell No Tales, but if delaying it means it will be all that better, then I can take it. -

The first one is by far the best. Not only a fantastic pirate movie but also a fantastic movie in general. However, I find myself wanting to watch Dead Man's Chest a lot for the sheer entertaining fun of it. Had great ideas with Davey Jones but you don't really get to see him do anything but play the organ and dice. The Kraken does all the work for him which is fine because each Kraken attack is awesome, just would've liked to of seen Davey Jones be more dominant. In the third one they made him out to be an emotional roller coaster.
I thought Dead Man's Chest made Jack out to be more of a buffoon. The same goes for Davey Jones' crew. The setup of them was awesome. Then at the end on the island they're just running around chaotically yelling and getting owned by elizabeth. I don't think I saw one sophisticated swing of the sword by any of them. Again GREAT ideas for Dead Man's but not executed as well as the first which if done so I would place it over the first.
So for me I have to watch the first two in different mindsets. Dead Man's for shutting my brain off and getting entertained. Curse for keeping my brain on and allowing myself to get sucked in to that world without feeling cheated.
Chest also, I think, takes place on the water more so than the others which I enjoy.
The third one is just a mess and all over the place. By the time we get to the Maelstrom it's a little too late for me. Not to mention why didn't Davey Jones' crew just teleport over and surprise the Black Pearl? Also, while the fight between Davey and Jack was cool I thought they should've utilized Davey's teleportation on his own ship more with the fight. One moment he comes out of the mast then disappears then comes out of the floor. Then he's above him.
I would rank them 1,2,4,3. However, after having said all of that, I did buy them all and enjoy them all in one way or another, the first two especially. -

I would say the 1st one was probably the best but i was equally entertained overall with 2 and 3 with 2 slightly nudging ahead of 3.
4 is absolutely the worst. Started out really well and most of the time felt like a indiana jones movie which i liked, but then you realized how a horrible cast Penelope Cruz is and that she doesnt seem to have acting skills (maybe in spanish movies she has i havent seen em she was ok in Vanilla Sky but still not a actor that can lift her character to a memorable one) also she doesnt work in comedy at all..
The religious tone of the 4th movie also kind of killed this movie the longer it went on. The priest or whatever that wooden guy was was completely out of place, it was like a movie within a movie and like he had no relation to the other characters besides the mermaid. The plot between the 2 of em was the weakest part of the whole movie and felt forced more and more in throughout the movie. -

My favorite is Curse of the Black Pearl and On Stranger Tides. The 2nd and 3rd were cool and all but just something about them made me not enjoy them as much as the 1st and 4th. I am looking forward to the 5th to see what direction they go in

I actually don't remember anything about this movie, its the only movie i have ever seen i think at least since i can remember that i just don't remember anything about, just literally. Granted i was baked like a cake in the theaters like i used to be in 2011, but that still didn't change the fact that i remembered something bout the films i was seeing. But i remember thinking it was the worst of the series, remembering nothing about it can't be good.
Rankings- Curse Of The Black Pearl
- At Worlds End
- Dead Man's Chest
- On Stranger Tides (Although i should try to see it again sometimes, i guess)
