The first movie introduces brilliant characters with a lot of charm and witty dialogue interspersed with moments of action. The second movie relies far too much on the first and lacks much real innovation. Fun, but by no means great. The third movie regains some of the splendor of the first but still falls quite short. Jack Sparrow is one of cinema's great heros, a lovable rogue worthy to be up there with Indiana Jones. The highlight of the third movie is easily the scene with 20 different Jack Sparrows trying to run a ship and fighting over a peanut. Johnny Depp has created a masterpiece, it's a shame that he often sails the seas of cheese. Delightful, and despite its shallows, it bustles with adventure and wit.
