I spent most of this movie confused. I realized I wasn’t alone when a friend jokingly asked me as the credits rolled, “Were we supposed to be handed CliffsNotes on our way into the theater?” The ending in particular is a huge disappointment, in that — hopefully without ruining it for those who have yet to see the film — Will Turner adopts a duty that Jack Sparrow essentially was born to fulfill, while Jack is left to screw around nonsensically. How this became the Will Turner/Elizabeth Swann Show, I don’t know. To be fair, the sequence in which the boat is flipped over to turn a sunset into a sunrise is breathtaking.
