I have to say that I did not have to oportunity to watch the original version until now. Instead I saw the german dubbed version two times.For the first trilogy I preferred the english audio because in the german version they made Jack Sparrow talk like he was homosexual instead of being drunken combined with too much sun... (I will never understand this decision :rolleyes )
Well, for the fourth movie Disney Germany was forced to change the voice actor and now FINALLY Jack sounds drunken. In my opinion that gives the movie a huge advantage over the first three ones but the reviews here in Germany complain about the decision of swapping the voice actors. They want their homosexual captain back because that is funny, right? Strange humor...
That said I must admit that besides the new voice for Sparrow OST was sort of disappointing for me. 3D was completely pointless, Black Beard was anything but a true villain, the priest and the mermaid were nothing more but one-dimensional extras and the story itself had no arc of suspense (not sure if it's the right term ^^) at all... I loved the complete London-Escape until the point when they introduced Angelica. That was the twist when the movie ,for me, turned into a boring succession of more or less pointless dialogues.
Therefore I honestly hope that they swap the director and come up with a more exciting story for the next installment. I am too much a pirate fan to give up hope but OST is ,like robstyle said, the 4th-best of the 4 movies so far (IMO).
