So the creator of Monkey Island sees some similarities...
I can see that, after all BOTH are based on the same source material, a theme park ride.
I will confess that during both movies I was looking for "all the important elements" of a good swashy mcbuckly story. Map, ship, crew, insult sword fighting, ghost pirates, a search for legendary treasure, and a voodoo (okay, aztec) curse, and the sequel has a voodoo priestess to boot!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
