After losing Captain Jack Sparrow to the locker of Davy Jones, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Captain Barbossa journey to the ends of the earth to rescue him.

I think two things are going on, everyone remembers movies they watched as a kid/teen and thinks they where unusually good. It’s not that there was a golden age of movies, it’s that you personally had seen fewer movies.
That said, the ratio of original movies to sequels/franchises changed. Fast forward 20 years from Star Wars to 1997 and sure yet another Titanic, Jurassic Park 2, and a James Bond film but also, Men in Black, The Fifth Element, Liar Liar, As Good as It Gets etc so still mostly original movies.
But fast forward to 2017 and the top 10 movies included: Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Harry Potter 5, Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, National Treasure 2, The Simpsons Movie, and Transformers. I Am Legend based on a book and 300 based on a comic. So only Ratatouille was actually new.
I played so many games on feature phones back in the day. You could download .jar files from umnet, etc and install them on just about any phone from any manufacturer.
My favorite was the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End game which came out as a tie in to the movie, back when every major film had tie in games.
Best visual effects: The Golden Compass
Also nominated: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Transformers
I saw all three of those movies, and even though GC was supremely craptastic, its effect were beautiful. I loved Transformers and I still think GC had better visual effects.
