Will - what a plank!

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2007)

Now there are many reviews posted declaring this pirates to be the greatest/worst movie ever filmed, but I am going to focus on something narrower. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the film, despite a couple of minor disappointments.
First and foremost - how did Will get Liz? Now it's been clear from the last film that she was tempted by Jack but at the same time often repulsed by him. Will was nowhere near as exciting, but he is honest and dependable. Well not any more! She went to the locker to rescue Jack because she felt guilty, while Will went with every intention of betraying him once again! Quite frankly when Will turned "nasty" he lost the only plausible claim he may have had on Elizabeths heart.
Second - further complaints about Will I'm afraid, maybe Orlando fans had better turn away. What a selfish so-and-so! He's only going to see Elizabeth one day every 10 years. Now 10 years ain't too long if you're immortal - Liz ain't. Given the average life expectancy at the time she's probably got a weeks worth of visits tops. She's going to wait her entire life for one good week? He should have let her go - she could have continued her career as the pirate queen. She could, if she wanted to, have gone for Jack. Instead she gets left holding the baby waiting for Will to come visit once again.
Finally, this isn't a complaint, just my 2 cents worth. People think there will be a 4th just because Jack has the map for the fountain of youth. They may well do another one, but don't assume they will based on that alone. It's Captain Jack Sparrow! Savvy! Bring him that horizon. They couldn't possibly leave him with a happily ever after. He has to have another adventure in store, whether we see it or not. Knowing he's off on them is good enough for me. And that's without a single drop of rum!
