Great Action and I enjoyed the stories

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2011)

I can't believe some of the people trashing this movie. I thought it was great! The action was loads of fun. The mermaids were incredible. The stories and side-stories kept me interested in the characters. It is funny, some people thought there was too much time spent on secondary characters while others wanted more. I thought it was just right. I still feel a little uneasy about how the mermaid romance ended. I would think that a devoted Christian wouldn't dabble in pagan magic, correct? Anyway, all the main characters were incredible, and I didn't miss the actors who didn't come back one bit. I wish the fate of Blackbeard would have had a twist. A man with one leg would kill him. We all knew it would be Barbosa, of course. Wouldn't it have been great if someone else had killed him during the fight who just happened to have one leg? Perhaps lost in that very fight? That would have been sweet. I loved the ending to the movie. I think Sparrow has grown throughout the Pirates series. Some people think he should be more selfish. I think not. I thought it was brilliant, and the only way to end the movie at that point. Allowing her to keep her self-respect and show her willingness to give her own life, while exposing Blackbeards selfishness. Awesome.
I hope we see another Pirates with Commodore Jack Sparrow!
