I think I am the only one who liked the second movie more than the other two. I am disappointed they wasted all the good potential they had with Davy Jones' character to turn him into some less than average villain whose only purpose is to offer escapes and solutions to plot holes regarding the "main" characters. I must admit I liked Barbossa's character in the third movie more than in the first one. In fact, I think after a while I realized he was the main attraction of the whole damn thing, and frankly that wasn't enough to save a confusing movie. According to imdb.com and other sources, the script was a sort of "work in progress" and it was rewritten many times during shooting. This could be the reason the overall impression is of incredible lack of coherence, of a movie where plot twists seem to completely random instead of being connected to characters' deep motivations and development. I mainly enjoyed some "artistic" choices and some visual ideas, like the composition of some shots, the settings decor and so on, while I got bored by the story and action after some time. Oh yes, I liked Keith Richards, too. He's a real life pirate, you know, he's "authentic"... and all his wrinkles are real
