(Sorry for the super late response, I had to dash to work, and then of course we got out late!)
Actually, it's interesting you bring up Monkey Island. Seems there was talk of making the series into a movie (or movies?), but it fell through. But it didn't go to waste, as the main writer went on to write the PotC movies. And if that wasn't enough, fans have noticed the similarities between the two franchises. I saw this video the other day:
I usually look at reviews just to see what others are saying, not to sway me one way or another. Usually if I'm curious about a movie, I'll just go and see it (or wait for it to be on t.v. later). Again, it seems like reviewers always hate the movies I love, and love the movies I hate. It just makes me wonder what they want from a movie. So far, it seems the more violence, gore, and language in a movie, the better...
(I do think the third suffered a bit too much from EPIC SCENES OF EPICNESS THAT GO ON FOR TOO LONG. Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure what was supposed to be happening.)
Huh, well, to each his/her own. The group I went with all seemed entertained, even the friend who told me he would fall asleep during the movie. (He works early mornings, we saw a late screening.) I am interested to hear different reactions to the movie though, so you're more than welcome not to agree with me on the movie.
