I'll still see the third one.

I'll also see:
28 Weeks Later
SHrek the third.
Fantastic4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
1408 ( the preview looks great)
Live Free or Die Hard (probably against my better judgement)
Ratatouille (Pixar has never failed me)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
Transformers (in spite of the presence of the evil Micheal Bay)
The Simpson's Movie
The Bourne Ultimatium


I'm sure there will be others that catch my attention.

The pirates movies are just like the matrix movies. MONEY. In a trilogy, I'll use LotR, the Matrix as examples, the FIRST movie is great in terms of storyline, the building of the plot and characters, and action. The SECOND movie is intensely active and has a very weak plot and storyline although at times important revelations are made and characters are transformed. Finally the THIRD movie is where the plot ends and the action reaches a climax of close to equal the value of the second movie (plus or minus a little) and the movie ends. Usually the action gets better bet a few only reach the climax of the second.

In order of best-worst:
FIRST movie > THIRD movie > SECOND movie.

I think the Bourne trilogy (I hope ends as a trilogy) will follow this trend...The second one was not that great...

I'll probably end up seeing Pirates too, but the first one got old really fast and the second one was pretty terrible.
The good movies of 2007 already came out, imho. Grindhouse, Hot Fuzz, and 300 were amazing.

300 was great, not awesome. I agree with the Simpsons being more of an obligation because of its impact on my life personally, but Transformers (which i have yet to see) is more of a inspirer rather than a joke because when I was a kid...when I was younger, I remember that I wanted to build robots. Isn't that what first is about.
