Well I just got back and I enjoyed it overall. Yes, it was about an hour too long. Yes, there were plotlines that were set up and ultimately went nowhere.
Spoiler:
Calypso and the Pirate Lords could have been cut out completely. Why set up ALL THAT only so that she could provide a little bad weather at the end? Why was there no resolution between her and Davy Jones, other than him dying?.... I mean, I guess that resolves things, but it was ultimately filler.
Yes, it did not make sense about how old everyone was.
Spoiler:
What was Davy Jones before he was Davy Jones? He fell in love with a sea goddess and so he decided to work for her as a mythological Charon-type character, only to have her betray (or not show up for) him when he came back (to what) 10 years later, so he betrayed HER to the nine pirate lords, so she got bound up into Tia Dalma? How does a sea goddess not show up for someone before she was human, exactly? Did all of the Tia Dalma becoming human mumbo-jumbo only happen 10 years prior? If it had happened before then everyone would be WAY too old to remember her getting bound as a human, but the movie seemed to indicate, via dialogue between Davey Jones and Tia Dalma, that it happened a long long time ago. And how does any old person become a pirate lord anyway? And what the heck was Keith Richards doing there as Jack's father, was he a pirate lord too?


But despite that, I wasn't bored, except at a few chatty moments, and anything having to do with Will Turner and his daddy.
