A blockbuster saga that kept getting progressively worse barely keeps its head above the waters of hatred

There’s barely a franchise in history that hasn’t succumbed to the law of diminishing returns, but on the other side of the coin, there aren’t many that have gotten progressively worse with each passing installment – an unwanted distinction that notably befell Michael Bay’s stint at the helm of Transformers, and Disney’s once-mighty Pirates of the Caribbean.

Of course, anyone who claims that The Curse of the Black Pearl isn’t one of the most fantastically entertaining blockbusters of the 21st Century is unequivocally wrong, but mileage significantly varies from there. After scoring a robust 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, thinks took a critical nosedive across the next four chapters.
