Whew—for a second, I thought all of this was complaints. But the "More of Barbossa" and a certain rum bargain was a (un)dead giveaway that it thankfully wasn't. lol Anyways, regarding the rum-related bet, it certainly reminds me of myself back in the OST days, therefore I suppose it's appropriate to say...I may have deserved that. That said, my greedy self may have left a sip or two of rum in me bottle. :)

''His outfit is a little confusing, though. Why is he wearing something that looks so similar to his old privateer uniform? Maybe that's his own weird way of mocking the British...''
 * I am still saddened that we're probably not going to see his now-iconic pirate garb. That said, even Geoffrey Rush himself had said that he desired to "live happily ever after as a very rich rogue" back in the CotBP days. He sorta had it in OST, but of course (given his now-primary weapon) he does have a lust for power.

''Finally, the undead look like the undead. No offense, Rob Marshall, but your zombies were just a bunch of immortal guys with weird tattoos.''
 * I agree. While I have said in the past I do like OST (still do!), watching these trailers make me think Disney should've given Ronning and Sandberg the job years ago. OST's plot was good but I like Ronning and Sandberg's visual style&mdash;despite my distaste for a Turner storyline, this feels like a POTC film! And yes, it's about time we see something we've never seen before...GHOST sharks!

Jack is in prison, he's going to steal a ship, with the help of an honest lad who will break the chains of law and order to help him escape and eventually fall in love with a strong-willed girl while they're all being chased by some undead guys who can walk through the walls (like Davy Jones and his crew) and want to exterminate all the pirates on the Seven Seas (like Cutler Beckett).
 * In defense of the first part, Ronning and Sandberg have stated that DMTNT is heavily influenced by CotBP, so I suppose most of these similarities aren't a huge surprise. Now the DMC/AWE similarities, semi-different, though I don't think they could've gone around the ghost through walls thing (as that's usually seen in 90% of horror flicks). I could complain about a character wanting to exterminate all pirates, but who doesn't these days? Lord John Carteret wanted to send Jack to the gallows. But as said before, the reusage of the Turner saving his father storyline is concerning.
