POTC was the best movie I saw this year... so far. (I have the feeling my opinion will change on December 17th, but we'll see... 😛 ) I would not say POTC was overrated at all... it was an awesome movie, perfectly acted, perfectly paced, never left me bored, and for once in a LOOOONG time, it had a moment that made me stop and think "Hey, why did he do that?". Not bragging, but at my age I find I usually figure out the plot long before it reveals itself... I still enjoy the movie, I just find most films are too predictable these days. I can count on one hand the number of films that have 'fooled' me in the last five (or maybe even ten) years.
