Pirate's of the Caribbean: At World's End

I saw it Sunday, the movie was pretty good, but it felt like they tried to do too much with too little time, it felt like half the plotline was abandoned to me.

I'm mainly speaking of the large plotline involving the release of Calypso, they went through all of that trouble to release her, then she just makes a maelstrom. That's it? I understand that she wasn't inclined to help the pirates, but that was a pretty weak resolution for that whole sequence. A lot of the continuous jokes felt forced, especially the sequence with the two idiot Englishmen guarding Jones' chest. I'll probably go check out 4 when it comes out (since the ending of 3 already hints at a Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fountain of Youth).

I'm really not so sure that there will be a pirates 4.

Most of the characters' stories come to an end, as far as the story of 1-3 goes. Will and Elizabeth are pretty much done as far as story goes, unless she decides to attempt to free him or something. If there were to be a pirates 4, it would most likely not even include Will and Elizabeth. It would just be Barbosa and Jack and the rest of the crew, pretty much starting back from the beginning. I could see it possible that they make a movie attempting to free Will by asking Calypso to switch him with someone else (probably Jack) or some other means of freeing him. I could also see them doing something with the whole fountain of youth thing, but I really don't think there'd be much to that. I guess Elizabeth could try and help find it so she can live forever so that she can live forever along with Will. That's one thing I kinda wondered about, Elizabeth will eventually die, but Will will still be doing his thing. Did any of you stay past the credits? There was a little scene after the credits that showed Will and Elizabeth's son, 10 years after Will took over the dutchman. They're waiting for Will to come back and he does, and then it cuts off. It was a pretty cool little scene.

Nah, I didn't stay past the credits. I was kinda wondering what they'd have for a Pirates 4, but with the popularity of the series and the semi-open ending, I figure it's a highly likely scenario. I'd agree with you that likely Will's story is done unless they are attempting to find a way to free him from Captaining the Flying Dutchman. I just hold faith in Hollywood's ability to beat something good into the dirt if it means money.

Damn I definitely didn't stay after the credits to see that part. They need to give some sort of hint as to waiting it out if they want people to stay. I mean seriously, who just normally waits out all the credits at the chance there is going to be something like that at the end? Not me, and I never will.

Either way, I liked it, but it was pretty long. Maybe it had to do with me seeing the midnight show and I was fucking tired as hell in the middle, but the whole psychodelic scenes with Jack were really strange and weird. Not too sure if that was really necessary though.

I thought there was plenty of action, and the fight scenes were better than I was expecting. My order: 1, 3, then way behind is 2.

There was something at the end of the credits for number 2 as well, though not quite as plot related. It shows the dog as the new chief of those cannibal dudes, he's sitting in the chair all cool like. That's it.

There might be something similar for 1, but I'm not sure.

I loved the third movie. A few things irked me, though...

The end of the movie, while incredibly sexy, made me wonder when the hell Elizabeth had time to shave her legs during everything that happened before that point. The end of Calypso's plot dissapointed me, I loved her character and expected more. It just seemed kinda...anti-climatic imho, though the battle scene to follow was great. Favorite scene...them sailing in the darkness and it looked like they were sailing through the freakin' universe. Freakin beautiful scene. I drooled. Seriously. I also drooled at the many many Jack Sparrows in the scene to follow. That was amusing. Poor goat... Unfortunatly I couldn't stay after the movie. I usually do, but I had to fuckin' piss like hell.

It seems like you had pretty much the same reactions to everything as myself(though I didn't care how she shaved her legs, honestly.) There is always the possibility that Calypso's story is not over. It did seem very anticlimactic for them to go through all of the trouble to free her and then that's that.
