[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2938388, member: 7883"] I suppose that's possible... This is something I was really confused by. I actually liked Jack in the first movie, in that beloved rascal kind of way. He was a sympathetic villain at the very least. In this movie he truly *did* sell out Will....and Elizabeth....to a truly horrible fate. It's really hard to correlate that with him being a "good guy". I don't think I'd be able to trust someone like that myself. Maybe Elizabeth did realize she likes him better than she thought....or it was just an inconsistency. Will....hopefully he realizes that Jack really isn't a good guy. Unfortunately, it felt like there was tension between him and Elizabeth at the end, based on the kiss. During the film my girlfriend was crying out "what are you doing?!!" at that moment. Ok, thanks for clearing it up. I misunderstood that part. I thought both father and son lost. I've never heard of this Liar's Dice game before, so I didn't understand the significance of Will's father getting involved. That's something I'm not sure of. I mean....he was trapped on the boat by the manacles, the kraken arrives, the boat is in it's clutches. He's the only target it has to catch, so there are no redshirts around to divert its attention. I'm not sure he really had a choice. I'm not sure if the final moment was heroism, since I still don't think there were any alternatives, except lie down and die. He seems to have chosen to laugh at death, and go down fighting....but I'm not sure it had anything to do with saving the others. Banshee [/QUOTE]
