I'd say Dead Man's chest! This movie made me love these films and as a result I bought the whole collection last year (plus the lego video game for PS3 :p)! But many people have different opinions! What is yours?
shareThey each have a different setup and theme.
In the first movie ( which is also the most believable, but not the best film.) We have a curse that causes people to lose the ability to feel, now obviously its not realistic for them to not be able to die but compared to the less realism of every other film, this definitely has somewhat of a more real feel to it.
I have seen the 2nd movie (because it was on the movie network continuously over the course of a month) about 10 x as much as all the other films.... however even after that much seeing.. i still enjoy it every time i marathon the series. its very simple... the 2nd one has the most danger in it.. Davy jones and the krakken make barbossa look like childs play compared and are to be feared much more. we also start to learn more about jack sparrow and his past. This is also where jack sparrow meets his untimely demise.
as for the third film, I can defniitely understand why it gets the hate, its a lot slower paced, much more story and a lot less action... the reason I like the third film is simple. I love seeing gods taken off pedestals, and in this movie, davy jones is taken down from the devil of the ocean to another pawn of the trading company , which becomes a third opponent in the big battle at the end.
While i felt the whole getting jack back a little wierd , it was a very hard plot to execute masterfully so i can be a little more lenient because of this. However I loved barbossa in this, some people say he over acted but in my opinion he was brilliant. I also loved the big finale battle between the two capitol ships. Not to forget that we finally see jack sparrows true heroism finally come out. Jack finally listened to his heart and sacrificed his wanting to live forever and being the most feared pirate of the seas in exchange for allowing a man that betrayed him many times to live.
if this movie series were an rpg.. in the 2nd movie .. Davy jones would be level 99 and his kraken 99 while the good guys were only in their 40s - 50s. whereas by the final b attle , the good guys are all level 100 ( except maybe Keira Knightley who was still only level 80) so they went from being owned by the fish faces to owning their asses. Jack sparrow was even taking on davy jones 1 on one
I didnt see the 4th one more than once.. and ive already forgotten what its about> I am not saying its bad.. I just dont recall the story enough to be able to have a proper opinion about it.

I liked Dead Man's Chest the best. It took everything good about the first movie and expanded on it while adding awesome new things.
shareCurse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest are without a doubt the two best films in the series. I say I enjoyed Dead Man's Chest the most but they are both worth watching. :D
shareBy far the first. It's fantastic on every level.
I do appreciatie the two sequels after the first. I love them but when it comes to quality they're not as great as the first. Worthy sequels imo could've been as bad as On Stranger Tides ;)
To be honest, if Dead Men Tell No Tales is as good as Dead Man's Chest, I'm pleased!
War, what is it good for?
Dead Man's Chest..
The story is epic, the scenes start from keira in bride gown mix with Orlando excecution's and end in Barbarosa suprise appearence..
