I was hoping the high definition release would show more of a clearer image with less compression rather than a sharper image.

Those HD screen captures are resized, compressed JPEGs. Trust me--they're not representative of what Pirates really looks like on a 1080p display that's properly calibrated. The actual Blu-ray presentation is smooth and film-like with lots of fine detail, not artificial sharpness.
