You kidding? This was BY FAR the most obscure, complicated and all-over-the-place of the three films. Which is what it is generally getting slagged off for in reviews. But I didn't mind it one bit, it was obviously designed to be ridiculously complex.

I respectfully disagree with you (and a bunch of reviews, apparently).
I don't know. As far as convoluted character motivations go, the first two just felt like train wrecks to me. Enjoyable train wrecks, but train wrecks none the less. All I know is that I asked "Why?" during PotC3
far less than I did during the first two. Meh.
EDIT: Holy crap! PotC3 got ripped to
shreds in the reviews. What I don't understand is how these people hold the first two movies so highly while
utterly hating the last. It's the same formula as the first two: pirates babbling on about intrigue and betrayal, only to be broken up by intermittent action sequences, and then a giant fight at the end. The writing in all three is overly-complicated, stilted, and
corny, but it's at least enjoyable; you can't just say that one is worse than the other when they're all essentially the same.
If you ask me, most of the reviews out there are mistaking repetitiveness of the series' basic formula with flat-out
bad spectacle. They're
all spectacle; people are diluting themselves if they think otherwise. But, again, at least they've been enjoyable.
