It fell short of the first movie, but it tops the second, fourth, and fifth in almost every way. I don't know why it got so much hate.
Sure, the first half was pretty weird, at times downright random, but the second half is so good it's certainly worth watching. Much of the movie was spent explaining the oddities in the second film, but the action scenes were amazing. The directing of this movie was fantastic. Some of the shots are downright breathtaking, and I love it.
The acting was also flawless. Johnny Depp nailed the role of Jack Sparrow once again, and Geoffrey Rush, as Barbosa, might as well have been a pirate in reality.
Also, the movie does contain a fair amount of death. James Norrington in particular had a really bad day. Davy Jones's death wasn't spectacular, but sometimes, a nice, simple death is good.
It remains somewhat comedic at times, such as when Jack Sparrow kills a clone Jack Sparrow thing in a deranged state in the pirate underworld, and of course, Pintel and Ragetti were there to provide a lot of laughs.
In other words, a truly good, well made movie. It has a few downsides, but still remains the second best movie in the franchise.
