I liked Pirates, too. I was disappointed by Davy Jones, though - he made Pirates 2 watchable for me, so it was extremely annoying to me to watch him being subjugated to Cutler Beckett (I also liked how they got him onto land - by sticking him into a bucket!)

I hated the Calypso storyline. It was awful.

Yeah, the Calypso storyline did seem to kind of come out of nowhere. It would have been good enough just to bring Jones' lover in to the story without making her a supernatural power or something.

It was funny how they brought Jones on land there! The new captain of the Flying Dutchman could do the same.... ;)

As hard as it was to see Jones brought to heel by Beckett, at least it was cool how they showed how much Jones hated it and was close to doing his own thing on a few occassions. He shows his great disdain at it all when he sort of breaks free, and takes his anger out on Beckett's henchman. Gross!

As for me, I thought it was Norrington that kind of stole the show a lot in the second movie. So yeah, as I mentioned earlier, I thought he bought it kind of cheaply in this one. Wish he would have been around and done more. :(

The only reason I liked the first Pirates movie at all was because of Depp's performance. Other than him, everything else about it was way overrated. The second movie, while it did have some extremely funny moments, just sucked. I won't be seeing the third movie. Glad to hear you enjoyed it though. :)
