@Story I liked the 1st movie fine. People said it was a bit too long but I felt it was just fine. The 2nd one was ok, the 3rd one was just a wreck and way too long and clunky. When it came to the 4th one...it was better than the 3rd but I just didn't care.

@Marcen I actually liked the second movie along with the first. And I really feel they Flanderized Jack Sparrow in the sequels and made him too goofy for my tastes.

@Star I didn't realize that Jack was Flanderized until you mentioned it. But, for me, First Installment Wins.

The franchise is a textbook example explaining why you don't make the Ensemble Dark Horse the main character. Jack fails as a protagonist as he works well as the goofy side character, but just doesn't have enough substance to carry a film, let alone a trilogy.

I thought the first movie was by far the best too.

Elizabeth was supposed to be the main character in the movies she was in but then the creaotrs decided to give Jack more and more screen time. It got so bad that whenever Will and Liz are on screen, audiences felt irritated.

They would have made fine protagonists in the other films. Will was necessary in the first as he was the straight hero to Jack's chaotic neutral status and his scenes were a lot funnier with Will to bounce off of.

Wasn't the hero originally supposed to be Will?

@Story He was but again Jack Sparrow was the popular character and the sequels were about him because of that little fact.

I know, I was responding to the comment about Elizabeth being the hero. But I guess she was kind of co hero.

@Star I thought if the writers had something interesting to do with her and Will, the movies could have been a LOT better.

@Story Ya know what the funny thing is? It's the ONLY set of live action films from Disney that formed a brand and happens to be based on one of the rides AND be successful at the same time.

@Story Leave the audience wanting more instead of "Transforming" it, making the sequels worse and worse.

based on one of the rides

How so? As I understand it, the only similarity was the name. Or maybe they had a couple scenes that were homages to the right but nothing major.

It's one of the things that makes Cowboy Bebop so great. It stops just as things reach a climax leaving all the characters' fates a mystery and ending when you want more.

I suppose the other end of the spectrum is Animorphs. Talk about a bad ending.
