Pirates of the Caribbean: A Critique and An Epilogue (spoilers)

I think I've stated before that I loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The second was funny, if not as overall good a movie as the first, and had the kind of ending that required a third movie to decide whether or not the second was actually any good. Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End didn't quite make it.

( Spoilers behind the cut )

At any rate, given an extra five to eight minutes (which they could have taken out of Jack's crazy time), something like that would have provided a bit more conclusion to the loose ends. (Not that I've done well capturing the voices of the characters, but I'm sure you get the idea.)

In my mind, that's what *really* happened. ;)
