I enjoyed the first and second one, I didn't enjoy the latest one. I actually dozed off.

I loved the first one because of it's thrilling and amusing nature and I felt like in the second one, Jack sparrow was not so much of his character than the first.Then the story was kinda cliché I guess according to me.

I think if I had to choose, At World's End is my favorite, though it's closely tied with Dead Man's Chest. But Curse of the Black Pearl was really good too... :)

Dead Men Tell No Tales was much better than I thought it would be. I was praying the series wouldn't turn into a worn-out repeat of the same story like the Bourne franchise turned into, and I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked it. I would recommend that any Pirates fan watch it.

I think the first three were the best, truthfully. The fourth one was just subpar in comparison? And, in truth, they probably could have stopped the series at the end of the third one anyway since it kind of settled most things and of course Jack was gonna go off and do something more. Granted, I did find a lot of moments in the fourth movie to be hilarious, particularly that bit at the end when Jack interrupts the fighting...but it just wasn't as good.

I was surprised by Dead Men Tell No Tales, just cause I really wasn't expecting it to be good at all. But it wasn't bad. And I was so happy with the ending. :D

The first one has to be my favorite too, haha. I really love Pirates of the Carribean, it's my childhood.

I saw all the sequence parts of the Pirates of the Carribean all of them are the best. . from the Main characters, the costumes, the effects, the scenes, the places they go to really are the best. .it is worth to watch no boring scene at all. .It only shows that we should never judge a person base on how they look because just like captain Jack Sparrow he maybe a pirate but that does not make him a bad guy he has a good heart too. .hope that they will make another sequences fir the Pirates of the Carribean

I would say World's End as there was lots of Captain Barbossa and he is my favourite!

I loved "The Curse of The Black Pearl" when it came out, pretty much became my favourite movie for a while. "Dead Men Tell No Tales" looks like it'll revitalize the series as well which has me excited. It's such a great series.

Curse of the Black Pearl was my favourite and I think the quality of the movies reduce accordingly till this very last one which I didn't like at all.

Every movie in this series was up to the mark. The last part "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tale" is quite intriguing and kept me hooked up till the end.

The Black Pearl without a doubt. It turned out to be the funniest, most coherent, and complete picture of them all by a long shot.

The Curse of the Black Pearl. The rest are lesser attempts to recapture the magic of the original even if entertaining by moments (especially Dead Man's Chest). The "fantastic" elements along the series became increasingly exaggerated, not to mention the action sequences. The music did remain constant in the initial trilogy as well as the production values, but nothing surpasses the impact of Johnny Deep's character in the first, the dynamic with Barbosa (very good villain, although Davy Jones was quite good) and the overall feeling of satisfaction once you finish seeing it.
