Just saw it tonight, heh and I loved it. I'm actually surprised that a lot of people were disappointed by it and that many critics hated it, I personally thought it was a lot better than DMC and delivered on the entertainment. Oh and man, Geoffery Rush was awesome! So glad they brought back his character, love his crazy laugh. It was great to see that they had an explanation to why the Dutchman's crew were fishmen.
Heh, though the movie did have some problems and I do agree that some things were just wasted, eg. the build up of a Pirates vs British battle only for it to not happen at all. The Davy Jones/Calypso's didn't finish out as well as I hoped, was kinda expecting more than a maelstrom from Calypso (and boy was hard to make out what she was saying sometimes, kinda wish there were subtitles for her lines). I hated the marriage-battle thing I thought that was just meh, and Beckett's death that was just "ok... will you die already?" Oh and that assasin guy (took over command of Dutchman after Norrington died, whose death was just poorly executed) I thought he should have died back in Singapore by the other girl's hand (the sister I believe), so stupid they just kept dragging him on. And man, I was hoping for some more Kraken, what a shame.
Heh, anyway I know that just made it sound like I hated the film more than love, but I'm just being nitpicky and just had let out some of the stuff that annoyed me. Overall though, loved the movie! Oh and the soundtrack/score was awesome, probably the best of the trilogy!
Oh and them ending it back at square one was kinda interesting and does leave room for a sequel. By the way, did anyone catch the scene after the credits? They showed Elizabeth and Will's next meeting after 10 years. Anyone else notice that their son is the same kid from the beginning of the movie, that was singing just before he was hung? I found that to be kinda interesting.
My buddy sent me this interesting theory, not his and didn't send a source to it, about the relation between Will and Elizabeth's son to the kid at the beginning.

Ok.
The thought here is that the kid at the begininng who is being hung is Will Turners kid, and his father taught him that song and gave him that coin so he can call for him if he is ever in trouble.
Cutler Beckett is still alive (he is shown sitting, perhaps he was paralyzed) and its trying to gegt revenge on Will for foiling his plans, which is why he says "finally" when told they have started inging, becuase he knows Will is coming back. The scene at the beginning of the third will actully be the beginning of the 4th movie, and they will rescue Will's son like they rescued jack at the end of the first movie.

An interesting theory, but I personally hope that isn't the direction they choose for a 4th movie should it happen. Just more Jack Sparrow and enough of the Turners please.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
