It was aid before Calypso was put into human form, she "controlled" the sea. For whatever reason, that was bad. What exactly did "controlling the sea" mean, anyway?

Fair Enough. But I don't believe in empty praise. I genuinely loved the film, and I hope my writing proved that I loved it without being some Goddamn quote whore.
And no, "the writers didn't know about the 3rd movie when they made the 1st" doesn't count.
My guess? It would be more insulting if Barbosa let Jack die as a pirate lord. Or just that he was secretly wishing they would never have to
It an unavoidable hole, but there is a book coming out on when Jack met Barbosa and possiby the mutiny that took place, so Barbosa's intentions will be made clear.

Ah, that's an easy one.
Barbosa stranded him on a deserted island? Did he now? He could have known about the 'sea turtles' (AKA the smugling ring) there. He KNEW Jack would survive. The crew wouldn't want it any other way.
For the rest of the act, Barbosa and crew were taken under that spell. Really, they are already as good as dead, and there is no reason why they should care wether or not they need to summon some god. Why? Because they were doomed to fade away. I think when they wanted the curse lifted they didn't think they would survive afterwards.
As for how he became a pirate lord, do as Mia says. Stop doubting the facts. We KNOW that the pirate lords became so during the first meeting, and we KNOW that one-eye was there, as his eye was one of the pieces. Assume barbosa became a pirate lord at that time... and think it through! Instead of asking WHEN he became a pirate lord, ask WHY be became a pirate lord. If you can figure that out, you got your case! Can you think of anything? Mmm?

And the idea that Barbossa "stranded" Jack on an island he knew Jack would be rescued from defeats the point entirely, and...is just plain ridiculous. That's an even bigger logic trap than what I mentioned.
There's no such thing as an inevitable plot hole. It's a writer's job to make sure that doesn't happen.

This would explain it, but I'm likely overlooking something.

Or, for that matter, how you could NOT know who the other pirate lords are, if you were one. That also seems to kind of defeat the point of having them, if none of them really know who the other is or what item they have to present to prove it.
But then, pirates aren't too smart....

Don't get me wrong, there were tons of great scenes. Singapore. Jack's first hallucination. The crew returning to the real world. Keith Richards. The maelstrom. Etcetec.
But it did plenty of bad things too. Pirates 3's plot is convulted and pretty hard to follow, full of contradictions and odd logic (Barbaosa mentioned "heathen gods" in Pirates 1, is now freeing one; code is now absolute rules? I thought they were guidelines!; Barbosa can be revived from a shot to the heart but Jack can't be revived from being eaten) as well as getting ridiculous. I accepted a curse that turns you into the living dead- that's fine. But this story goes over the top, namely with the goddess Calypso. What was the point of this subplot?! It served no purpose other than to set up for the maelstrom. The whole Pirate Lords thing is pretty odd too, because somehow Barbosa is Pirate Lord and I find the idea of an organisation of pirates, complete with elections, a bit... odd.
And there was way too much of Jack. Yes, he's a great character- but I don't want him pushing every character out of the spotlight. Barbosa in particular is great, and I wish he got a bigger role. Will, as much as I disliked him, actually seemed to be pretty good in this one, so it's a shame we never got to see more of him. Especially with his betrayals and all, he would have been interesting to watch. Actually, I think the only person who wasn't pushed aside was Elizabeth, but sadly this was for the worse. She is fucking awful and unrealistic. I mean come on- she's now a fullblown pirate? How does one go from a highranking, pampered citizen to the fucking king of pirates?! Hell, did she even have any motivation to travel around on the Pearl this time?
It was better than Dead Man's Chest, but the original is still easily the best.

I did however find the plot a bit broken, like the second one. It's kind of hard to keep track of what their trying to achieve with so many layers of plot, humour and fighting.
First of all, When did Barbosa become good?
Also, another thing bothers me. Did anyone stay through the credits to see the end bit? If I had not been told about the bit after the credits, I certainly wouldn't have stayed to find out, the credits were like 10 minutes long!
And, Elizabeth hadn't aged a bit in those 10 years? Ridiculosity!
Also, that scar on Will looked nasty.
All in all, a fair 8/10. Pretty good as far as Third films go.
Now everyone, prepare for my next trick!

You would find out something in the movie and then the next scene wouldn't make any sence. It was just to much for me

Calypso said something about Jack "not dying but being having his soul taken away from the living world". I didn't get it either, though. Just accept things as they are and they'll more or less make sense. That's how I always see it.

All I have to say is...
I can see everyone on this board rioting because of "ZOMG MORE JACK SPARROW!!!111 *upchuck*" or "ZOMG MORE PLOTHOLES *dies*". To be completely honest, I like Jack Sparrow. He's the main protagonist; how can he be completely ignored? That's like ignoring Phoenix and trying to find some unique quality about a minor character who serves no purpose other than to act as a small part of a bigger equation.
I JUST DON'T GET IT!!

I just saw it for the kickass fighting and the humor, basically and there is no denying that fact.
Massive lulz goes to "This is madness..." "This is politics" part.
