I remember all the major beats from the second. The three-way swordfight, the kraken attack, the game of chance with Davy Jones. All of these feel like quintessential pirate movie moments. Quotable, simple but memorable, very evocative of Errol Flynn or the old action serials. I don't remember anything from the third, except for maybe Jack Sparrow's psychosis, and the really fat chinese guy.
I remember every scene where Barbossa has a line. That's quite a sizable chunk of the movie.

Also I hated hated hated everything related to Davy Jones. I just didn't like anything about that at all. Not the actor, not the character, not the plot.

I can't explain why, it just irritated me.
