But Blade 3 had Triple H! The Game! If you're not down with that, he's got two words for ya

Depp doesn't see his own movies
I think he said on Inside the Actor's Studio that he never watches his own movies, so him not seeing POTC is in line with this rather than some dismissal of the franchise. Besides, there's that famous story about making The Big Sleep where Howard Hawks and Bogart didn't know who killed…
