[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 3546923, member: 7635"] the [*spoiler*] tag work better since it blocks it for those people using PHB or Stealth ENworld Themes. (no *) But yes. See my spoiler a couple up to see that. It wouldn't have been MY choice of ending I would have had Bootstrap stab the heart, become captain, and let Willibeth live happily ever after but I guess it was better than the other alternative Will was given at that moment... Actually, my big beef was that at the end was that NOBODY really got what they wanted. Will freed his father, but lost his freedom. Elizabeth lost everyone who cared for her (Will, Norrington, her father, and Jack) and ended up alone (abit with Will popping in every 10 years and a child to take care of) Jack lost the Pearl and really only Barbosa ended up ok (He's alive, free of the Curse, has his ship, and despite losing the charts to Jack, is in a good place to pirate again). I dunno, CotBP was a great movie because it was a classic pirate movie with a great ending. AWE undid everything CotBP set out to do. In CotBP, Will and Liz are together, Jack got his boat and revenge, and even Norrington and Gov Swann learned sometimes Piracy has redeeming qualities. But by AWE, Will and Liz have a tragic love story, Jack lost the Pearl again, and Norrington and Swann are killed by treachery. Everything is reversed. Kinda disappointing as a wrap to a trilogy, since it was all for naught. Between some contrived plot-holes (didn't Bootstrap KNOW about the stab-the-heart clause in DMC? He didn't warn Will then?), pointless redactions (it IS Rules, not merely Guidelines!) and some Out-of-left-field element (Jack's Multiplicity moments got boring after a while) and the anti-climatic resolution to the Kraken (why didn't they use it finish off the Pirates?) I have to say it felt very awkward and not satisfying. Still, it had some great lines and set pieces, but I didn't inspire me and thrill me like CotBP or even most of DMC did. [/QUOTE]
