Seventh Part of the Seal
Ok, I need some clarification here... because honestly, I was finally able to watch POC3... I didn't have time to see it in theaters.

While the Jack Sparrow/Hector Barbossa ending was quite comical and well played, the Elizabeth/Will ending... I don't know... I mean I know that not every movie has a happy ending, BUT COME ON, Its a disney movie!

I guess I'm just a sucker for the classics that had huge climactic endings where everyone was left satasfied. So heres where I need clarification,

Ten years at sea, one day on land... how does that work? Will goes to sea for ten years and then turns the Dutchman over to someone else? Or is it one day ashore, ten years at sea, then one day ashore, and ten years at sea, over and over?

I mean for Calypso and Davy Jones that would have worked, imortals, they'd live forever. Will w/o his heart was now imortal, but what of Elizabeth? If she's not imortal, given how old most people back then lived... and how old she was supposed to be... he'd MAYBE see her 5 more times before she died. I know its better then him dying and never seeing her again, but its still a shitty deal.

In any case, the end of this movie was at the very least, a disappointment.

I understood it as the latter one. Yes, not a good deal. And Elizabeth could have killed herself and be with Will and join him on the Dutchman.

Anyway, while I thought that PotC 2 was too silly (and reintroduced far too many characters from the 1st part, a bit like the Star Wars prequels), I had the impression they tried too hard to make PotC 3 darker and more serious. Only the first part had the right balance, IMO.

Also, I didn't get why Jack hesitated before stabbing the heart, thus giving Davy Jones the opportunity to wound Will (what did he think to accomplish with that?). I mean living forever on sea, wasn't that what he always wanted?

Oh, and the introduction of Jack's father was also pretty stupid.

The secret of monkey island, part one, two and three, and simply adding a character called "Jack sparrow" from the Disney park attraction. :)
 
You know, it is sort of interesting to note that, in his journal, King George V wrote about his Naval days before he took the thrown. In his journal, he swears that he and one of the night watchmen saw the Flying Dutchman, and that the other man who saw it fell from the watch tower. To see it is considered a very bad omen.

At 4am the 'Flying Dutchman' crossed our bows. A strange red light as a of a phantom ship aglow ... Thirteen persons altogether saw her, but whether it was Van Deimen [sic] of the 'Flying Dutchman' or what else must remain unknown. The Tourmaline and Cleopatra ... flashed to ask whether we had seen the strange red light.

9 yrs.... 355 days with your new best friend (Your Hand) while waiting for the hot Elizabeth Swan.......That sux. Oh well Will, you were destined to be what we all thought you were going to be..doomed somehow. But on the other hand I guess it's a good thing to have wait that long I mean he could be getting salty wenches with Jack in Tortuga and who knows how salty they may be....EWWWWW!!!! But then again maybe Elizabeth makes it to the fountain of youth with Barbossa and she stas with Will for all eternity!!! Listen actually I am a huge fan of the POC Movies. Just remember mates "Take what ya can give nothing back!!!!"
