--I must be one of those few people on Earth that actually disliked all three "Pirates" movies. Actually, the first two were alright (I haven't seen the third one) but way too overrated. Just mildly entertaining popcorn flicks in my opinion. Johnny Depp does best, in my opinion, when he's in more adult-aimed movies. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Donnie Brasco" are both great movies. He actually plays REAL people in them, as opposed to some silly, rum-drinking pirate. Some sequels don't work, but some do. You can't just label every sequel as a "rehash" or "garbage," like a lot of people seem to do. Some sequels are actually on par with the originals. "The Godfather part 2" is a fantastic example...or, look at "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." This movie actually got a higher movie rating by fans on IMDB, & critics, for the most part, loved it. There's other superb sequels, too: "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade," all three Die Hards, and, who can forget, "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls." I wouldn't go as far as saying Ace 2 was "Superb," but it was as funny as the original.
Carrey does have a point for not wanting to do ALL sequels though. Some sequels just suck, period. Look at "Blues Brother's 2000" and "Speed 2." I couldn't be paid to sit through that swill again.
