PotC 3, with Spoilers

[kennahijja]

All right, I went to see Pirates of the Carribean 3 last night with hummelchen, and it was great fun and nearly made me forget I had a headache most of the time. Enjoyable, exciting, if the weakest of the three, and hopefully the last!

We fought over coffee on the relative merits of the first part (hummelchen's favourite, and the second (mine), and discussed a lot of RL things so that I walked out in a way better mood (and a little less scared) than before.

That said, I do have a serious question about the ending!ending of this...

Well, the *final* ending after the credits... did I interpret this right, that the boy who was hanged (and singing beforehand) at the beginning was indeed Will's and Elizabeth's son from the end? Because that'd be very cool in a highly tragical way - and a way better ending than the 'leaving open the possibility of a sequel' that was the 'real' end? Or am I applying my trademarked 'jumping to conclusions and then clinging to them' interpretation style?

The ending thing aside, I thought that the entire film would have benefitted from being shorter (the Calypso-plotline in particular seemed *very* superfluous, and contained the only moment in a film of otherwise stunning visuals where CGI really *really* sucked too much for words).

But that aside, it was definitely fun, if not the best thing since sliced bread :).

Yeah, that't what Thea said too - but I really, really don't want to see 'PotC VIII - Back from the Dead - Again!' in five years...

Yeah, but you know that these casual statements by leading stars are about as casual and unpremeditated as press releases from the Bundeskanzlei. I'm afraid you'd better get used to the idea.
