I didn't think the last one was great. It seemed as though they tried to rehash the first one from a formula and simply made the movie too long. I think it would have been a better movie if they decided to write two more concise plots rather than this single drawn out one they came up with for the final two. I also think that Kiera Knightly's character was really dumb and frumpy in the second compared to the first. In the first movie, her struggle to be less lady-like and confined seemed to work, in the second movie, her in Pirate gettup made her seem ridiculous and out of place not in high society-- maybe that's the point, but her struggle between the two roles was far more interesting than her picking up either as she pleased and clearly sucking at one of them.

That being said, I have a friend who loves the whole series, second one included, that I pormised to see the third with, but he's in Arizona until Wednesday.
