WARNING!

If you haven't yet seen the new Pirates, or you were completely satisfied with the film – DO NOT CONTINUE!

………………………………..

Alright, I'll assume since you've continue to read this letter that you have seen the movie, and were disappointed in it…to say the least.

I'm taking this as an opportunity to vex my frustrations and explain my opinion on why I was utterly let down. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Pirates fan till the end but this movie was almost…almost a complete bust for me.

And here is why:

Jack and Elizabeth

Obviously I'm a die-hard Will/Liz fan. So you can imagine my astonishment when Elizabeth not only lip locked withJack but (practically) sucked his lips from his face. What was she thinking? They explained in the film that she was a girl, looking for adventure, and curious about the 'other side'….Jack is dishonest, dirty, unmoral, and has dreds, sure he looks good in a bandanna and eyeliner with a roguish grin…but WHY when you've got an honest, hardworking, caring, brave, loyal, and SEXY blacksmith/pirate willing to spend the rest of his life with you? Silly…silly girl.

Tia Dalma

When you've got one of the most confusing plots of all time to explain….make sure you can understand the person who's explaining it! I went to see the film with a few of my friends, I tried my hardest to understand what the woman was saying, my friend on the other hand would ask me a question every 5 seconds wondering what the hell was going on. So please…when you've written in the script :THICK ACCENT.HARD TO UNDERSTAND.EXPLAINS PLOT TO THE AUDIENCE.: either plan on having subtitles on the screen… or have the character speak understandable English…

The Plot

I have a theory: The writers were trying to see how completely and utterly confusing they could get until the plot didn't even connect with itself anymore…and they almost succeeded. Sure, I get it. "Davy Jones heart is what they're all going after…DUH!" …. But its more than that. On the one side you have selfish Jack Sparrow, wanting the heart for himself, to get Himself out of a jam, so He can continue living, with a disregard for his old friend Bootstrap. Then you have Norrington who is as devilish as ever, wanting the heart to redeem himself (I think he's a little past that). And there is Will…poor Will who made a promise to his father to save his soul. (The only person, mind you, that's not in it for himself). And on the side is Elizabeth who cant decide which pirate she wants more… Also, there is Beckett, threatening the governor, Will, Liz, and Jack back in Port Royal. The writer also just had to bring back Reggetti and Pintel, not that the plot wasn't confusing enough – we had to keep up with them too.

In my final opinion I believe that the writers felt they had too much on their plate. They felt they had to top the first movie with more swordfights, more danger, more adventure, more romance (not to my liking), and more…..stuff! But in this endeavor for more clever lines and more swashbuckling they had forgotten about "Where is Anamaria gone?" , "Where was Bootstrap the last hour of the film?" , " Why is Elizabeth so flaky all of a sudden?" , "WhydoesWill have to beSO understanding when his Fiance was kissing another man?", "And Why does Beckett hate them all so?"

This is why I love fanfiction.

I wanted to post this interuption of my story to let out my frustration (and also to get it out there before i saw 378 new stories about Jack and Liz)

I can continue my own version of Pirates without Hollywood breathing down my neck telling me to make the sequel bigger and better. My story is going to be told the way i see it. I'll never say I hate the second film, I'll merely tell you that I was disappointed and let down by the storyline and ending.

THE END
