LOVED the movie. Only problem I have is they killed off one of my favourite characters, Commodore!Pirate!Admiral Norrington. I love him. I wish he would have lived....but at least he died a heroes death.
I normally don't swoon over Will Turner (as I prefer Jack and Norrie myself) but DAMN if I didn't orgasm when he was kissing Elizabeth's leg. And HELLOOOOO Elizabeth can I please have a roll in the hay with you now.
It's sad that Elizabeth and Will will only see each other once every ten years now, but I think it's a great ending....not a fairy tale ending or anything like that. I might post more later as I think of it.
ETA: So apparently my roomates bf saw a clip or a deleted scene belonging to AWE that had Tia Dalma stating that if the Captain's (of the Flying Dutchman) lover was still waiting for them ten years later, than the curse of the Flying Dutchman would be lifted, and they could choose a new Captain. Don't know how reliable that is, but that's a nice thought.
Also, Beckett's death sucked, and was way too over dramatic.
ETA 2: Also...now that I think about it, James' death was kinda lame too. James is a COMMODORE, who KNOWS how to fight. He is a master of combat, and he knows not to take his eyes off an enemy. Instead, he shoots the line so that the Flying Dutchman's crew can't cross it, and then lamely fights Bootstrap only to be stabbed by a pointy stick.
1) He could have crossed WITH Elizabeth and cut the rope after he was on it.
2) Even if he was staying behind to give them time to escape, he should not have shot the rope. He should have cut it with his sword, thus giving him time to defend himself against Boostrap and the rest of the oncoming creatures, which he should have been able to handle. Even if they DONT die when they're stabbed.
At least I like the part where he stabs Jones with his sword. Aww my poor Jamie...<3 RIP.
