Well, this is a tough choice but I have to say the second movie. It had more action and it was an all around better movie to me. I do agree with icecoolio that this explains what Pirates of The Carribean is really about. And the second was much more creative to me.

And Elizabeth.. Better than Jack and Will? No, sorry, but Jack Sparrow is probably better than Will and Elizabeth together.

Oh, and nice signature Ducky.

I agree that the second movie had a lot of good action, but don't you think that they kinda focused on that? I would like a better plot like the first one's.

Just my opinion.

It's like The Lord of the Rings. The first one had almost no fighting in it, and the second one had a TON of fighting in it. That's just how movies are made today. That's all there is to it.

Point taken. I do hope some extravegant director will someday take movies in a new direction.
But still, POTC and LOTR are still good movie series, of course.

I would have to go with POTC because that movie was good throughout the entire movie, while I did not like the beginning and ending of POTC 2.

I'd say POTC 2. It was because of that movie I am now more hooked on Pirates than ever!

POTC2 was a lot better, in my opinion. I don't really know how to explain why... I guess I liked the story better, or something :/

Its definitely POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl. I'd find it hard to believe that I would be in the minority here. The second movie was so drawn out and the plot was all over the place. I'll admit, there were some well-made scenes in POTC2 (like the Kraken), but POTC was overall a smoother storyline. Plus, I think Depp's performance in POTC was the best out of all three movies. I just think POTC2 was done in by its lack of plot substance.

I think POTC 1 was better than POTC 2. POTC1 had a lot more action! But my favorite POTC movie is #3.

I really enjoyed both but hands down I have to say the second one, Jack Sparrow is in more of the second one and it has more action and humor.

That would be a very hard decision. Probably one. Right now, I feel more in the mood for two. But as a general rule, I prefer one. It was amazing computer graphics, and filming. Especially for 2003! Plus, It just made more sense.
