I have a huge soft spot for the second and third pirates films. I think looking at the first and thinking it could make a great trilogy is totally valid and although they're definitely much more long winded than the first with less lovable characters, they're good films and if I ever revisit the first, I generally revisit the second and third too.
I watched the Dungeons and Dragons movie when it came out and really enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like I was watching a marvel movie, albeit a well written one, Pirates may be the last YA action adventure franchise that isn't just the re-skinned marvel formula, which makes it far more watchable than 80% of the genre since.
Also Pirates 3 is basically the creator of the horrible pressure CGI artists have suffered under for the past 15 years, so take that as you may.
While I enjoy the Pirates trilogy, I feel like they could just as easily have kept it a single movie. It was fine, the story was conclusive enough to satisfy and open ended enough to tickle the imagination.
Not everything has to be turned into a franchise or a ‘verse.
I do agree, and generally I don't want everything to be a franchise or a verse. However I feel that a trilogy although generally profit driven can expand a film in a nice way, such as the original star wars or Indiana Jones trilogies.
