True. I expected both Hitchcock and Wanted to be lame, but I quite enjoyed 
both.  They were both much better than the general populace said they were, 
methinks, probably because of the expectations like Warp talks about.

On the other hand, I was gravely disappointed in Beetlejuice. A fabulous 
concept completely ignored in favor of making it slapstick. "I'm glad

I wonder if you could count "Haunted House" (Eddie Murphy) as a sequel to 
the first Pirates film. Sort of "take the idea of turning a ride into a 
comedy movie" sequel that failed because it wasn't the ride that made people 
like Pirates.

Does anyone remember the *old* Pirates ride in disneyworld, with the talking 
skeletons and such?  They really toned it down, I fear.
