I think it's an unfair judgement to say that girls like it because of Johnny and Orlando, or the love story between Will and Elizabeth. I'm a girl and though I am a Johnny Depp fan, I originally loved Pirates because of the storyline and in particular the humour. It was only after I became obsessed that I started liking Johnny- like, years after. I was only 9 the first time I saw CotBP! As for the romance, I got extremely irritated with Will and Elizabeth (in particular Elizabeth) during AWE. Though of course I love every part of the series. So, I think it's possible to be a crazy fangirl and a dedicated fan of the actual movies. JMO
