Of the two movies, one could say that only P3 was rushed. Granted, both films were made back-to-back, and figuring how the story would play may have been atrocious, but P2 did fairly well in comparison to P3. But I will give P3 its props - it wasn't like how everyone expected, but it did work out well story-wise. Definitely worthy of taking the spot as my second favorite Pirates installment.

But even if the script was complete, it's no guarantee that it'll be a good film. Not trying to jinx it, but the fact is that not all movies work for all audience members, that's a given and to be accepted...especially with critics. Heck, P4 pretty much had a complete script, as far as I know, and there was hype for the movie but the movie opened to mixed reviews - some very negative. Will P5 share the same fate? Will P5 be a better film? Who knows. One can only hope.
