I loved the first movie. Felt it went downhill from there, though, except for a few notable scenes. The ending to 3 pissed me off and I just stopped paying attention.

Basically, I didn't know there was a 4 either. Damn.

[ketita]

I feel like with... idk, more pathos, or a defter hand, it could have been a really strong tragic ending, but it just fell flat.

That and I personally didn't like how pirates were set up as these virtuous freedom fighters. Come ON, okay. I get that this romanticized the hell out of pirates, but that just made me roll my eyes.

[diet_poison]

It actually felt to me like they were trying to make the ending to 3 feel like a happy ending. Which...it wasn't. It was very sad. (That kid...)

If they'd tried to make it feel sad, it might have worked. I hadn't even really thought of it from that angle. I don't think it would have gone over well with the fanbase though.

[ketita]

Huh, you know, that's a good point. Maybe the problem really was that it read to me so strongly as a tragic ending, but they were trying to play it as non-tragic, so it broke up.
It's a shame, because I think that with the way the story went, these movies might have been a lot more powerful with a high tragedy ending. But you're right, people would have probably flipped their shit.

[diet_poison]

Together we can be sad about the lack of sads.

(I don't even really like sad endings in general. But it might have been a good direction for the series to go in. I probably would have hated it back in high school if they'd pulled a truly tragic ending, but now I think I'd appreciate it.)

[ketita]

Haaaha sad at the lack of sads. I love it.

Yeah, see, the irony is that I don't like tragic endings myself either! But sometimes I see something that pulls off tragedy in the Greek sense, you know catharsis and everything.
Idk, maybe I'm talking shit and would have hated it anyway XD I just wish they'd have committed. If they're going for a happy ending, go for it. If tragedy, then go for it. If bittersweet, then fucking go for it. This was just kind of meh halfway to nowhere for me.
