User blog comment:Pearl of Freedom/DMC and AWE should have been 3 movies LOTR style/@comment-4898132-20110408020909

Not trying to oppose or anything...but I honestly don't understand why people think that the "Cannibal island" scene has no purpose in the film. I mean, I understand why people would think it's unimportant, but it's ridiculous to think it has no purpose. As far as I know, it does have at least 2 purposes:
 * 1) To show that Jack cannot be safe in land or sea(sea=Davy Jones and/or the Kraken; land=EITC and/or the Cannibals). This is meant to show that Jack has no choice but to come up with a plan(which evidently, he does). This was said by Terry Rossio in the DMC audio commentary.
 * 2) Will has to meet Jack somewhere. I mean, the Black Pearl is the FASTEST ship in the films...so I can't think of any other way that Jack could've met with Will in DMC(at least without having to deal with even MORE plots needed to be tied together). I just thought about this.

That's just my opinion on that small issue.

As for the idea of the 2nd and 3rd film should have been split into more films...I am honestly against it. Because of how they played out, it's kinda hard for me to think of it being changed in some way. I mean, odd as it is, I do like how the cast and crew of DMC and AWE played both films out.

The only thing I can't outlook of those films is that in the Maelstrom battle in AWE technically wasn't the battle that should be. I mean, it was a "war", so I believe they could've shown any of the other ships in the Brethren's fleet to fight. But because of that scene being the way it was, I overlooked it by thinking "They're just being pirates. Like how the Gibbs and the other members of Jack's crew didn't participate in the fight against Barbossa in CotBP".

Other than that, I loved everything that made DMC and AWE the way they were made to be...even though they started filming both sequels back-to-back, as well as, during the development of the scripts. But this is just my 2 cents. ;)
