Thanks. I did think those bits were funny, though strange

I have seen POTC 3 three times, and each time was better than the last. I especially loved Jack Sparrow's lines.

DUDE!!! That was really loud, and it echoed. I live in an acoustic dead zone, so it's kind of creepy. Wow.
It's spelled Kraken, btw.

Yeah, I finally saw this movie! Yeah, loved it! The ending was really interesting...and the secret ending, I liked how it brought everything full-circle. It was just like the beginning of the first movie.

My wife and I rented it and saw it last weekend.
I didn't like it very much at all. Many of my critiques have already been covered. But really, wasn't the whole premise sort of bothersome? What... "Let's make the world safe for Piracy!"?? Wasn't it totally ironic that the film was preceeded by a standard "FBI Anti-Piracy" statement? Bad job all around. And now I'm seeing these advertisements on TV for the DVD's, touting PotC as "The Best Trilogy of the Decade". PUH-LEASE! Someone mentioned the swordfight... why couldn't I get PP vs CH out of my head?

It definately wasnt the best of the three, and they certainly went overboard on alot of stuff (like all the Jacks, Pirate-Queen), but it did have its good points.

Aww, cmon, it was Pirates. Not as cool as ninjas, granted, but the premise of the movie was just to have some good fun.
And it was certainly NOT the best trilogy of the decade. *cough*LOTR*cough* Pfaff.

1) secret ending? Did I miss something? 2) Not the Dutch East India Company, the Caribean was mainly British teritory, and Beckett is British too. So I don't think it is the Dutch EIC. Wasn't there a British equivalent or the ordinary British fleet active in that area?

1. There's an ending after the credits on every movie. In the first movie, it brought a plot point up that you found out in the second movie. In the second movie, it was just a funny scene. In the third movie, it was a nice artistic touch.
2. I looked it up, and it is the East India Trading Company, as little sense as that may make. Quote:

Ah I see, I allready thought we never really had anything to say in the Caribean. Nice to know I'm right for a change. Didn't know the two companies went by the same name though. Thanks for looking it up.
