I completely agree. I turned to my wife after it was over and said something like, "Finally, a pirates movie with a story you can follow all the way through and it makes sense." I think it probably helped that I went in with very low expectations, but even if I hadn't, I would have still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the backstories on some of the characters they had and the ending. Nothing will top the first POTC, but this one will rank 2nd or 3rd for sure. I also liked the poster as it was on heavy paper (you can't roll it up), but our ticket taker forgot to give us ours and I had to go back out and ask for it when I saw some people with it later. Again, as was stated above, stay all the way through the credits.
