I just can't believe that actually happened...

I've seen it yesterday and it just had to be said: i'm still shocked. Where's all the fun and laughter? Where's the silly plot? And most importantly: where's the happy ending?
I have to say: till about 30 minutes before the ending, I really liked the movie. Yes, it had way too many characters and yes, again everything was "darker" and more twisted than the original and even the second one, but it made me have a good time.
And then: the big finale. Others have said things about the absolute usefulness of Calypso (she grows, she grows, she grows and... becomes thousands of crabs: am I the only one who totally missed the point?) but what nailed me to my seat, was the death of Will. And he doesn't only die: no, he becomes the captain of the Flying Dutchman en leaves his beloved Elizabeth. They have one night (or day, didn't get that so well), and then he sails away not to come back in 10 years! Why does she not come with him? Kills herself, drowns at see, I mean his father could stay on the ship, why can't she? I admit it: i'm a person who likes happy endings. And this, this can't be labelled a happy ending. I give it a seven, because for more than two hours, I've had fun. But the ending has ruined everything for me.
