Jeanie and I both found the movie to be generally enjoyable. I don't think either of us would watch it again, and we probably could have found a better way to use the time and money, but it was a pleasant enough diversion.
The special effects were quite amazing and we both thoroughly enjoyed watching another installment of Johnny Depp's great characterization of Jack Sparrow. I had been fortunate enough to catch a piece on television about how the CGI special effects for the vortex sea battle had been produced which made that scene that much more interesting to me.
I think for sequel movies such as this, the DVD should include a "previously on" extra similar to what is typically done as a lead-in for serialized television shows, as I find it hard to remember who all of the characters are, what all of the plot elements were that got us to where we are, etc.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 45%, and that seems about right to me.
