Even if Jack did say that, his desire to become captain of the Flying Dutchman was not his main goal in either of the two movies and was really forced upon us.

I didn't see it like that. After all, it wasn't until at the end of the second movie did Jack experience a fate worse than death. This is what made him yearn for immortality. It makes sense from his character's perspective to seek immortality out only after returning to life by becoming the Captain of the Flying Dutchman. I thought they portrayed this well in the third movie. It was also a nice arc for his character when he gave up his chances of being immortal for Will.
Yeah, I liked the movie. I do have a few critiques: a bit too long, some characters deserved more screen time/development (Davy Jones - I found him more interesting than most of the other characters), and it was difficult comprehending a few things at first. But overall, I was entertained. None of the sequels could truly capture the original appeal of the first, but I don't think the filmmakers were trying to make the sequels better than the first - they were just trying to give
Dead Man's Chest and
At World's End legs of their own to stand out, and be different in their own unique ways. I think they succeeded.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
