re: Pirates 3
Argh, blah, I hated the ending. I'm not a huge fan of Will and Elizabeth (although she did look hot in her pirate king outfit), but they deserved better than that. I think I would have liked it better if at least she had stayed on the sea as a pirate so they could see each other more than once every freaking ten years. I am glad they left things with Jack and Barbossa kind of open, because I'm sure a lot of people (myself included, actually) would like to see a movie with them and the other pirate regulars but not Will and Elizabeth. Also:
1. Barbossa is all kinds of awesome and I nearly died laughing when he actually started the "Dearly beloved..." wedding speech. Is his first name really Hector?
2. The Calypso stuff was weird and kind of lame. (I do like, though, that now her comment from the second movie, when Gibbs and one of the other guys were arguing about whether it was the sea or a woman that Davey Jones was in love with and she said "same thing," now has added meaning.)
3. Norrington's death was stupid and pointless.
3a. No seriously. Why? Just...WHY?
4. I was really glad the writers actually wrote new jokes rather than relying on old ones from the first movie. There was a lot of really good funny stuff.
5. I loved that they tied the waterfall at the end of the world into the one that's in the ride (with the whole "dead men tell no tales" chant in the blackness).
5a. Now I want to go to Disneyland. :(
Overall...I'm not sure how I feel about it. There were a lot of fun moments, but I'm left feeling like the "trilogy" should have just stayed one movie, because the first one was so awesome and perfect. Maybe I'll like this one better once I've seen it again.
ETA: Wait, it actually is a happy ending. (Why didn't they tell us this??) I think I like it better already.
