Jack running from angry natives as a shish-kabob is silly. Dueling on a rolling water wheel is silly.
Having Jack be a dick instead of a scoundrel is messed up. Elizabeth became a bitch, and Will went from vaguely galant to unbearably milquetoast. The characters were savaged, were horrible to each other, and were made completey unlikeable and unsympathetic.
And yeah, the "story" was merely a string of events. Perhaps that's not fair, considering it was the set-up of a longer tale ... but that's what it was. And making me hate the characters simply did not inspire me to want to see the rest of the tale.
Where are the reviews of Pirates 3???
