dir. Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg

A-Tier Disney 4K. Fifth Pirates film with a 3.0 overall score, which is rough. No relevant collector discussion beyond a steelbook listing.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl(2003)

7.8/10

dir. Gore Verbinski

D-Tier

Disney's 4K transfer stripped the grain and crushed the color. Pro reviews put it at D-Tier, and the original Blu-ray from 2007 genuinely looks better. The format's worst-case scenario for a film that deserved a proper rescan.
