NOKW - POTC 3

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End

Basic Plot:  Captain Jack Sparrow and gang are back again for the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.  This time they have to fight...well, everyone, I think.  At least it feels that way.

I'm Okay With:  The fact-that at the beginning of the movie, Kiera Knightly and Barbosa roll up on that pirate HQ in Asia and find that Will Turner is able to hold his breath for a really really long time, seriously, he should be dead for as long as he is held under in that water barrel.  The fact that Davey Jones would follow the bad guys' commands even if they held his heart hostage.  The fact that the bad guy thought just a couple of guards would be enough to watch Davey Jones's heart.  The fact that Elizabeth Swan was voted Pirate King and no one had a problem with this considering she had been a pirate for all of three days.  The fact that pirates would even need to have a king when they are generally just unaffiliated groups of thieves.  The fact that nothing about the plot made any damn sense.  The fact that Calypso is freed, makes a storm appear, and then is never heard from again despite being a god.  The fact that Will Turner and Kiera Knightly stay together even though he can only see her every 10 years and he will never age while she continues to age at a normal rate.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that the final scene where the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman pull to either side of the bad guy's boat and blow it up defies all logic and every ship should have exploded in the resulting melee.  Play that video below and fast forward to about the 2:50 mark and you will see what I mean.  There are cannonballs flying all over the place and yet none of them seem to hit anything but the bad guys' boat.  Based on those cannonballs trajectory and speed, a lot of them should just pass through the middle boat and annihilate the good guys' boat on the other side.  But somehow it doesn't and that has always pissed me off when I watch this movie.  I am not okay with that.
