Glad you loved it. I loved parts of it, was sort of neutral on other parts. I didn't love it near as much as the first one - that's still my favorite. Barbossa was the best thing in it, imo, and I was glad Norrington redeemed himself - I was furious about how his character was treated in the last film.
My 16-yr old granddaughter and I went to the opening here in Illinois Thursday night. I thought it was way better that the second one. It doesn't really compare to the first one, which was just a fun, larky movie. I adore both Jack and Barbosa and without B the second movie blew. And Jack wasn't in either the second or the third one as much as he should have been. Some things I loved, though -- especially the extended telescope, seeing Jack's dad, Davy Jones' real face. The story was much darker and definitely more convoluted and they totally lost me with the upside-down thing. I really hated seeing Norrington's end. As for the way it all came out, I totally did not see that coming. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil it. I've always hated romance scenese stuck in the middle of life-and-death situations (like the one in MASH with Hawkeye and Hotlips. So I roared at the send-up in this film; it was the mother of all life-and-death romance scenes and I loved it.
There's talk that there might be a 4th one, without Will & Elizabeth. OK by me, just so Jack and Barbosa are in it.
Belated hi to everybody. I haven't been on in a long time.
I don't get around to checking very often. If anybody's read The Phoenix, would you just email me and I'll log on and see what's up with that.
