I was four when I watched POTC 1.

What happened was my brother and I found the DVD lying around the house, so my parents figured we could watch some of the tamer parts of the movie because we were really into pirates. We loved it. We went to stay over at my grandma's one night, and they let us take a movie. We chose Pirates, of course. Unfortunately for Mom and Dad, they forgot to tell my grandparents that we couldn't see the whole thing. So of course we watched the whole thing and had a helluva time. We ended up being fine, but Mom and Dad were a little pissed.

Saw POTC 2 in theaters at 6.

Saw POTC 3 at the premiere in Disney.

Saw POTC 4 on opening day at 11.

Saw POTC 5 the night before at 17.

I think the best age is around 6 or 7 to watch the whole thing, then rewatch it when you're older. They're super fun and were uber-entertaining to me as a kid, and I understood a lot more when I revisited them. There was also a ton of merch and toys back in DMC and AWE days, so that was a big exposure thing. But yeah, 6 or 7 at first, then later around 12 or 13.
