• What was the trouble between Will and Elisabeth again? How come the British and Davy Jones work together? Why does everyone double-cross each other all the time? What was so special about that saber? You are expected to remember everything that happened in Dead Man's Chest, otherwise you will have no idea what is going on.
• The opening scene, while not bad at all, seems completely out of place, both in tone (very grim, with maybe even a political comment) and in content (is there any connection to the rest of the story?). The parts that try to channel Terry Gilliam and Braveheart do not work, either.
• The greatness of Johnny Depp does not particularly scale well when multiplying him.
• Norrington's part should have been bigger after he played such a central role in Dead Man's Chest.
• The final battle between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman redeems the film somewhat, though one has to wonder why the rest of the two armadas were not doing anything at the time, why the commander of the East India Company chose to let himself blown to pieces like he did, and why Calypso just walked off.

5 points. And now you have to excuse me, because Curse of the Black Pearl is on TV.
