I was going to dismiss this, but I actually think you're on to something with this "You either like this Pirate movie or you're an unhappy person" theory. You've given me a lot to think about.

The franchise didn't get any movie ticket help from me.

Then again, I am clearly on team ninja vs. team pirate.

Pirates just never did it for me.

My other problem is that there are few roles I have enjoyed from Depp
since the start of pirates.

Bye.

Well, I'm guessing Depp didn't help.

My deep man crush love for Johnny Depp didn't really help the movies. The first one was the best but still just ok. Others were not good at all.

I didn't like the fourth one at all. The 3rd was pretty awesome IMO, and my favorite. I'll watch the newest one when I can see it for free.

I really liked Depp during the first half of his career. Now he just seems like a big pulsating douche. But I will say this, the character of Captain Jack Sparrow in these Pirates movies makes me forget about the doucheyness.
