I didn't enjoy the fourth one at all. Jack Sparrow as a protagonist is the epitome of "too much of a good thing" for me. The Fountain of Youth set was pretty cool though.
Have you read the book it was (very loosely) based on? It's really quite brilliant. It weaves in a shitload of real piratical history with a quite smart story about voodoo. It's one of those books where you get to the end and then go straight to Wikipedia to find out just how many of the plot points are historical. As it happens, the plot points I thought were least plausible were all the ones that were true.
