I agree the scene looked very cool, and I loved the shot and slow-motion effect. But it seemed a little not-built-up. I don't exactly know how to explain what I feel - but I didn't feel it was impactful. Like, in other movies... deaths bring something. Characters mourn, you feel saddened, or something. Here it was just... "Oh, he's dead. LETS RESSURECT HIM!!". None of the characters were all that effected, and if you could count the final scene that only lasted, what, 2 minutes? Then they were back smiling. I would say if the film ENDED with that scene, and you didn't know if he DID die or not, and you had a flash of all the characters shocked reactions then cut to credits now THAT would be a good cliffhanger. Angering, yeah, but I would have preferred it. Even if it was hinted he might survive. But no, he died. Just like that. And now their back to bring him back to life.

PS - I also knew the ending beforehand which might have effected it for me. I read your thread, heh.

I saw this a second time today and I really don't think the characters were back smiling so much as excited about the prospect of raising their "captain" from his grave. The whole thing has to do with curses, magic, ressurection... I think it was a good ending. I did notice (only the second time through) when Tia gets the monkey and they show him a second time he's actually sitting on somebody's big black boot. At least that's how it looked to me and if I'm right that means Barbosa was at Tia's when Jack visited. You knew Sparrow wouldn't die though, he talked about filming the third movie... I give the third movie 20 - 30 Jack free minutes.
