I read your immediate reactions post, just now, and I basically entirely agree and sympathize. I wanted to love the movie as truly and unconditionally -- though that does not mean non-critically -- as I did the first two, and maybe I will some day, when I'm done reeling, but ... the fact remains that a huge part of my personal joy in the Pirates world has been broken and taken away from me.
and lastly, not to dwell, but -- I can't believe BECKETT got the majestic, dramatic, ship-explody death.
