I saw the IMAX 3D premiere (in Europe) in Amsterdam.
My thoughts? Actually (and I HATE to say it) I didn't thought it was very good... at all!
The only characters returning from the earlier movies were Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Mr. Gibbs (and Keith Richards, but not in an amazing scene as he was in the third movie).
I don't know why I didn't like it. Maybe the characters missing (Pintel and Ragetti, those two 'silly' marines, Jack's amazing crew: Cotton, Marty... Cotton's Parrot...). Or because the story was... strange?
The movie has a great subject to tell a story about: the famous Fountain of Youth. But they just didn't! Blackbeard and Angelica, two very interesting characters, were just... present. No real background story of them, unlike Barbossa and Davy Jones in the earlier movies. So you can't really feel sorry for them or anything! Blackbeard is just bad and Angelica (his daughter) is a former love of Jack. That's all you get to know about them. As with the Spanish people: no background story, AT ALL!
You don't really get to know who's actually after the Fountain and who's not. Which is, in this case, not a positive thing.
A few things I really liked about it? The escape-from-London-scene was great! Also the scene where Barbossa and Jack are tied to palm trees is amazing. And the music as well (Hans Zimmer, so I didn't expected it not to be).
This was one of my favorite scenes (SPIOLER!)

I'm going to see it again in IMAX, with some friends of me. Because they are going anyway ;-)
