Ok, i'll elaborate.
Ok do not read this if you hav'nt seen the movie, seriously, big spoilers.
Spoiler Below
Ok first off. The whooooooole marriage thing. I really hated it, they put that in, and that was the whole climax almost. It bugged the heck out of me. Really instead of focusing on the romance, they should have done something more worthwhile like doing something bad ass like the spinning wheel thingy, Im not saying they should have put a giant wheel on a boat, but I think they should have been a bit more creative. I like the part when he died though... amazing....lol death... lol.... But I do not like the fact of him being the new captain, it really bugs me.

and btw: of course there going to continue the series with Jack looking for the fountain, It might be a show though, i dont necessarily think it will be a movie, it might be a show, from past history Disney does indeed have a history of doing this.

I personally loved
Spoiler Below
The marriage. I thought it added tradegy to Will becoming the Captain. Also, isn't it a bit ironic that Jack spent all his time throughout the movies wanting to be captain and both Elizabeth and Will get to be one? I found that amusing. I found the end fight very satisfying. I love how the end was all based on cliffhanger because I don't think a happy ending would be appropriate in this case.


I would argue that this movie was the best out of the three. Barbossa is by far my new favorite character.

What I didn't like was
Spoiler Below
The witch lady becoming this large lady who just happened to have the rope grow to her size. I think that was overdoing her character development. A squid man and a crazy lady with black teeth? Not a pair I would pick for couple of the year. Also, did Will's son have to look so much like the boy in the beginning? That threw me off-guard for a second there.

I have to say, that was probably the best movie I've seen in a looong time. And I watch alot of movies. Everything but the Calypso thing was seamless, and even then Jerry did what he always does: ad-lib it and go from there. And it worked.

Doug, it's still possible for there to be a sequel. Depp says he would play Sparrow again if they need him to (But Knightley won't play Eilzabeth). It might just be Jack all by his lonesome, being chased by Barbossa.

I liked it better than the second, but not as much as the first. It still was a little bit overkill, but not as much as DMC.

Spoiler Below
I hated the marriage as well. It seemed to me that the writer's wanted to make Will's 'death' seem more tragic by having them married just before. They weren't exactly on good terms for most of the movie. At first I thought it was a trick of Will to become pirate king (or would that be queen?), but it seemed very contrived to me.


Even though I liked all three, I hope they don't make any more. Especially not if they can't get all the cast members, even for the minor roles.

Not as good as the first, better than the second.

Spoiler Below
The ending is great though, Jack loses the Black Pearl again. XD

Just press Ctrl+A.

Spoiler Below
British Military Dude: We are hanging some people for associating with pirates.

Kid: I know a song that everyone else does, I have a coin, and I made a singalong! Please ignore that I have braces.

Executioner: It's funny that I have to prop this kid up on a barrel because the noose doesn't reach him.

Kid: Who am I, anyway, and why am I being executed?

Executioner: Somebody who associated with pirates, because you associated with pirates.

Kid: I am dead, and my coin is bouncing around.

Elizabeth: I am singing the same song the kid who was being hanged was singing. You probably still can't hear or understand the words.

Orientals: That song is taboo. Let us forget about it.

Barbossa: Elizabeth had to come by boat in disguise, but I'm special and can enter just coming down some stairs in my normal pirate clothes.

Singaporian Pirate Leader: I like it nice and steamy in here because it makes my loin cloth smell.

Pirates: We are firing in random directions, because it is awesome.

Will: Okay, Singaporian Pirate Leader, I have a deal. Your end is that you get me a ship. My end is that I need to save my father's life.

Singaporian Pirate Leader: Okay.

Main Bad Guy: I'm having Davy Jones blow up my competition, even though in the last movie it was said I wanted to control him to control the kraken.

Davy Jones: I'm sad. Now I'm angry.

Barbossa: We are in the arctic.

Pirate: I snapped my toe off.

Barbossa: Now it is implied we are sailing through space. Yay, a waterfall!

Nose: I am a giant nose trailing along a white background with a little gray under me. Ooh! A peanut!

Jack: My version of hell is a big desert with so much bloom it turns everything completely white. Of course, this might be heaven for the people who thought Shadow of the Colossus had the best graphics ever!

Barbossa: That waterfall led us straight to Sparrow! Let's go home!

Elizabeth: Daddy!

Barbossa: They won't notice us. We're ghosts to them.

Dad: Oh, hi Elizabeth. I'm dead. I know it sounds like I'm dead because I stabbed the heart of Davy Jones, and whoever stabs the heart takes the place of Davy Jones, and I'm going to drift out here forever, but I was actually killed because I just found out that information. Relieving, no?

Elizabeth: Daddy!

Barbossa: To thwart Main Bad Guy, we will unleash Calypso after we have collected all the cords, like the string of beads that Jack is wearing I am drawing attention to. Actually, I'm not saying "cords", I'm saying "chords", because of the ringing the coins that will unseal Calypso make. Oh, and you've probably never heard of Calypso before.

Witch Doctor: Oh, by the way, I'm Calypso. I'm also Davy Jones' love who broke his heart.

Barbossa: Oh look over here! THIS is why Main Bad Guy wasn't using the Kraken, because it's dead and just so happened to wash up on this beach!

Jack: We've been captured.

Will: I'm backstabbing you, Captain Jack Sparrow!

Singaporian Pirate Leader: Now I'm backstabbing YOU, William Turner!

British Admiral Dude: Now I'M backstabbing YOU, Singaporian Pirate Leader!

Singaporian Pirate Leader: Now Will and I are teaming up to backstab YOU, British Admiral Dude!

Main Bad Guy: I appear to have already collected all but one of the nine pieces of eight. We are assuming that Jack Sparrow has the last one.

Jack: Oh, explosions! My cue to take off!

Main Bad Guy: I have powers of teleporation, and will demonstrate them by going from my office to some ship in all of five seconds.

Jack: I am shooting an army man that looks like you out of a canon so that I can do some flashy moves.

Singaporian Pirate Leader: Hey, Elizabeth, guess what? Remember all that deal with the Witch Doctor hinting she was Calypso? Forget it because YOU'RE Calypso!

Jack: Hm, if I stabbed the heart of Davy Jones, I'd become the immortal king of the sea.

Stab It Jack: We are doing a take on the old Angel and Devil routine from cartoons. I say you stab the heart. You'll be king of the sea.

Don't Stab It Jack: Don't stab it. You'll have to take people to the land of the dead.

Stab It Jack: Stab it. You'll be king of the sea FOREVER!

Don't Stab It Jack: Don't stab it. You'll turn into Cthulhu.

Stab It Jack: Ooh! A peanut!

Will: I'm strapping bodies I got out of nowhere to barrels and tossing them off the side of the boat.

Jack: My breath knocks you overboard.

Admiral: Hi, all! Remember me by any chance? If you don't, don't worry because I'm just here to remind you all that Elizabeth has THREE boyfriends.

Will's Dad: I've gone psycho for some reason.

Admiral: I'm dead.

Witch Doctor: Remember the scene with the Singaporian Pirate telling Elizabeth she was Calypso? Now forget THAT, because I'm REALLY Calypso!

Barbossa: Wait a minute, did this scene come before or after Will's dad stabbing that Admiral?

Witch Doctor: Eh, who's keeping score.

French Pirate: I am a pirate who looks like a mime, because men in makeup are funny.

Japanese Pirate: I am an ugly geisha, because ugly women wearing tons of makeup are funny.

Indian Pirate: I have a really high pitched voice, because men who sound like women are funny.

Pirate with Parrot: As it turns out, the seals on Calypso are actually just random pieces of junk. Oh, the coins that made ringing noises? Forget about those.

Other pirates: We are outraged that Elizabeth, a woman, is a captain. Forget about the geisha.

Captain Hook: Hi, I'm Jack Sparrow's dad, and I keep my wife's shrunken head in my pocket.

Other pirates. We are outraged that Elizabeth, a woman, is now king of the pirates. Forget about the geisha. We will engage in another completely incoherent battle.

Witch Doctor: Oh, Dave.

Davy Jones: Oh, Calyp.

Witch Doctor: Oh, Dave.

Davy Jones: Oh, Calyp.

Witch Doctor: Oh, Dave.

Davy Jones: Oh, Calyp.

Witch Doctor: I WILL DESTROY THE WORLD.

Davy Jones: I HATE YOU.

Jack, Elizabeth, Barbossa: We are marching in a line to make negotiations on some kind of little sand island.

Will: I'm huge.

Main Bad Guy: I have a wig.

Davy Jones: I'm standing in a bucket.

Elizabeth: Our negotiations are this - give us Turner who betrayed and led you to us and give you Jack Sparrow who hasn't done anything really rotten on a while.

Jack: Fudge.

Barbossa: In order to free Calypso, we get her high on the burning fumes from a glass eye, some spectacles, a broken bottle, and various kinds of beads.

Will: My attempt to break Calypso's heart resulted in her screaming incoherently and turning into a bunch of...? Okay, after the avalanche we find out they were crabs.

Pirate with Glass Eye: I have a crab in my pants! It's funny!

Calypso: So yeah, my wrath is some rain and a whirlpool for the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman to swirl around in on opposite sides and fire at each other.

Writers: We made this fight such an incoherent mess because we knew you'd be too busy trying to follow to notice.

Other Ships: Erm, are we supposed to be in this fight?

Elizabeth: Will, I know we're in the middle of a really confusing and messy swordfight, but will you marry me?

Will: This isn't the time!

Elizabeth: Yes it is! We haven't had any forced attempts at character development and humor in a while!

Will's Dad: I'm still insane.

Barbossa: Hey, remember that kid with the braces who got hanged at the beginning of the movie, or the taboo song he and Elizabeth were singing? Well, we sure don't!

Davy Jones: I stabbed Will Turner and this somehow disgusts Jack Sparrow.

Jack and Elizabeth: Even though we were technically the ones who stabbed the heart, it counts as Will stabbing because his hand was on the knife.

Calypso: Thank you for dropping my love's body into a black hole and getting the Black Pearl out of my whirlpool. Now I will vanish and take my clouds and rain and whirlpool with me.

Will: Now I am the new Davy Jones! PH33R MY CHEST SCAR!

Main Bad Guy: Staring at the camera while a bunch of wood chunks fly around is character development.

Will: Well, either I get my first day on the job off, or it's already been ten years. I will take this time to rub my lips on Elizabeth's legs, which is extra disturbing now that I am undead.

Barbossa: Ooh! A peanut!

Some have mentioned the awesome climax. Maybe there was something there, but after all the nonsense leading up to it, I couldn't take the movie seriously anymore.

^ That about sums it up.

The introduction to the whereabouts of Sparrow was insane, the huge nose was tripping me out.

I was also confused about the Teague/Teach thing. Coulda sworn it was Blackbeard.

I liked it for the most part, except pretty much everything with Will, he sucks. Also I felt the Davy Jones/Calypso story was unnecessary. Great action though, and I absolutely loved the first scene with Jack.

To be more serious, there were some good ideas here and they would have been fine in a movie with a memory and an attention span.
