PotC: At World's End (reactions, spoilers!)

I think the whole concept they were going with was that the more extreme actions of EITC were basically because of the villain. They were him running rampant with his power, rather than actual EITC policy. When he died, cooler heads prevailed. That's kind of how I interpreted it.

Really? How much you want to bet next movie starts with the implication that most pirates are dead and gone?

That could be. But it sure didn't seem like that, given how openly Jack was walking around Port Royal at the end of the movie...

He's a known pirate, and you'd think that if pirates were still being obliterated, he wouldn't be able to do so...

I wonder if they will do a sequel? The movie is apparently not doing as well as the first two. It got a good start, but the second week's take was significantly less, and they don't think it's on track to make what either of the previous two did.

Actually, I think that was Tortuga. That's where Scarlett and her blonde friend lived, and the dock looked like the one that Jack met Elizabeth in disguise in DMC.

"Tortuga?"
"Tortuga."

-Hyp.

Three seems to be the magic number of movies lately. I think Pirates was designed to be a trilogy. If they do make another movie, it'll probably only have a few characters in common with these three movies. As someone else said earlier, Will and Elizabeth's story is over. This story arc is done. They may do something else in the same setting, but it won't be a true sequel.

Uhhh....the end of the movie, after the credits, implied their story is not over.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: The Fountain of Youth. Bet on it.

Oh, and here is my reconstruction of the lyrics to "Hoist the Colours" from the beginnings of movies 3 and 1.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will, we'll roam.

Yo ho, all together
hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
never shall we die.

Some have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage…
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green!

Yo ho, all together
hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
never shall we die.

The bell has been raised
from its watery grave.
Hear its sepulchral tone
A call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail to home!

Yo ho, all together
hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
never say we die.

Now that I have done that, could someone please tell me what the hell Giant Calypso was saying? I couldn't understand any of it.

Oh, and I loved the movie. I see all three movies as one big movie so won't judge which piece is better than other pieces.

It's 10 years later and they have a child. In most movies that means their story is over. Honestly, if they hadn't shown that bit at the end I'd be more inclined to think we'd see them later on.

Most TV shows and movies end shortly after the two main characters finally get together. Getting married and having a kid further seals the deal.

It sure seemed like they were seeing "Pirate Jr., coming to a theatre near you".

In fact...check this out:

Script already written, and they knew Orlando Bloom would not be in Pirates 4, but Depp would be.

Loved the movie. Not a single complain. Everything fell nicely into place, or close enough as to make no matter.

Bring on the Fountain of Youth, mate!
