Mm, i'm just gonna poke my nose into this conversation and say, that i liked the first Pirate... more. But then again, i tend to like the first movie more (Scary Movie, Lethal Weapon, Matrix...), only exeption being LotR...
And about that rasism ( o.O ) in the movie, there are movies that actually tries to show ppl the 1700 era, like Bounty (don't remember if the name is correct, i'm gonna check it once i get back to home). Isn't Amsterdam (or something like that?) a movie of a slave ship, which is delivering slaves to America? Never seen that, so that's why i'm asking...
