[QUOTE="Donovan Morningfire, post: 3550061, member: 39532"] Finally got around to seeing this one. Have to give it an 8 out of 10. A fun movie certainly, but not sure if DMC or AWE was the weaker of the two films. The whole Calypso angle wasn't really needed, especially just to set-up the maelstrom bit. I was kinda hoping it would have been Jack that did the on-ship wedding of Will and Elizabeth, but the way Barbossa did it worked. Also kinda bummed about Will and Elizabeth's tragic romantic ending, although that Wikipedia spoiler is rather interesting. I do agree that their story has ended. Although I have to wonder regarding the whole "Flying Dutchman needs a captain" was meant to draw upon classical myths and legends of a ferryman for the dead, and that Davy Jones was just that time period's version of the ferryman. Could have ditched the Calypso and Pirate Lords angles to go into a bit more detail. Maybe it's possible that the "heart carved out" was more due to Davy becoming cursed? [/QUOTE]
