I read somewhere that the curse is lifted if Elizabeth remains faithful for the 10 years.

Calamity, spoilers..... spoilers..... spoilers.... I have read that theory on Disney boards, that if Will followed the 10 year rule and his love was waiting for him, the spell would be broken. There is also suppsedly an "interview" where the filmmakers talk about a scene that was cut where characters talk about this. So, while I don't have any proof, I'm holding onto hope that that's what happened. I found the ending just too sad otherwise and cried walking out of the theater! LOL.

really enjoyed the movie. Great fun flick. Theater was packed for 7:10 show. Probably had about 50 people dressed in Pirate Garb. We had applause, LOL moments and a couple of gasps here and there. My only problem was.... Kierra Knightly. Her chin was always jutted out. I got tired of all her yelling, especially when she was on the rail barking out orders... just seem way out of place or something. I love Johnny Depp. sigh....

***Some Spoilers... I can't believe how some people are so unhappy with this movie. I LOVED IT! I couldn't stop laughing. The little facial nuances of ALL the characters had me covering my mouth with my sweater to muffle my giggles. It did run a bit long, and they could have taken out a couple of parts, but really, everything was there for a reason. I felt like this was the way the movie had to go. Everyone betraying everyone to make sure they get what they want in the end... My friend who I went with, turned to me during Jack's "Davy Jones Locker Scene" in the beginning and said "Now I feel like I'm on an acid trip." Now Jack's even more crazy than before. My friend was thinking that Jones would stab his own heart, but I realised afterwards that probably wouldn't have done anything cause The Dutchman needs a captain no matter what, so he probably would have been fine. I wonder what they'll do about Will, because the only way for him to not be the captain of the Dutchman, is for someone to stab his heart, and then he'll die. So I'm hoping that rumour about the 10 years and if your love is faithful, you're free, is true. Because I mean, it'd make sense as well. Davy Jones ferried the deaths of the sea to beyond for 10 years, but when he went ashore to see Calipso, she wasn't there. Which then would explain why he had to stay the captain of the Dutchman. I wonder what Elizabeth did for those 10 years. Did she remain captain of the ship? Did she have to do any Pirate King duties? When/if they do make another movie, I wonder what they'll do, because Elizabeth is 10 years older (not that she looked it), Will isn't cause he's dead-ish, and if Jack and Barbossa and the crew found the Fountain of Youth, they'll all be young as well. (Not that it'd matter cause if 10 years did nothing to change Elizabeth, it should do nothing for them :P) Anyway, I just look forward for this to come out on DVD so I can buy it :D ETA - I found this on a message board.
quote:"Ok guys. Here's how it works as confirmed by the writers and what would have been confirmed in a deleted scene. There is a way for the curse of the Flying Dutchman to be broken. The chosen captain may spend one day with his love then not return to shore for 10 years. Then, upon his return, if his love has remained faithful to him and is waiting for him, the curse is broken and he is free to do as he pleases for the rest of his life. Calypso was not waiting for Davy Jones, thus causing him to be cursed forever or until he is killed by his heart being stabbed. After the credits in Pirates 3, we see 10 years later and Elizabeth and William III are waitng for Will when he returns. Thus, the curse is broken and he does not have to return to the Dutchman. So there cannot be any story about them trying to break the curse, because they already covered that. The movie's writers confirmed it."
So there should be a deleted scene on the DVD explaining that. Which makes the end credit scene much more powerful.

Yeah... it is a curious question. I'm guessing they did not pre-screen this film for viewers and get feedback like that did with Pirates 1 or it would have become abundantly clear that people did not like the ending and needed this clarification that the curse could be broken. I remember reading or seeing on the DVD for Pirates 1 that the test audiences didn't understand the ending of that film and Jack grabbing a coin out of the chest and keeping it. They added that shot of Jack palming the coin back into the movie to clarify.

I think a lot more people may buy the dvd to get the explanation and possibly see that deleted scene. Maybe they did it on purpose to make more $. I absolutely loved this movie! I didn't want Jack with Elizabeth because she (even as a pirate covered with dirt) seemed so clean to me and Jack kind of icky!

I had to go see this again. I think I laughed much more the second time because I didn't feel like I had to pay such close attention to plotline. Depp is just hilarious with all his expressions and things he says. I'm still amazed at the number of people who walk out before the last scene. AAAhhh! I cried like a baby again over Will and Elizabeth. Two thumbs way up.

oh yeah now I'm much happier with the movie. . .I was not satisfied with the way things ended for Will. I also hate hate hate hate when movies set you up for another one (like in Spiderman 2)... but now I don't feel so bad.

btw they may have deleted that scene but I do know they referenced it at least twice, once when Calypso was in the cell talking to Davy Jones and not too long before that somehow Will figured it out. But I only saw it once (opening night) so now I can't remember how that went down.

Will noticed the necklace Calypso was wearing, that it was the same heart as the music box that Davy Jones had on his organ. That's when Will knew who Calypso was. They didn't cut it out??

After having seen the film again: Yes, they do talk about how Davy Jones got to be how he is, that Calypso "betrayed" him. I think what Grace is referring to... !!!!**** *SPOILERS *****!!!!! is that it is NOT at all clear that the spell is broken after 10 years at sea if your true love is waiting for you. It's not clear at all that Will can stay on land and someone else (who knows who) will lead the Dutchman. Even though it's not clear, I'm chosing to believe it's true. I have to have my happy ending.

I thought it was pretty clear that the spell was broken, I just forgot about it until Ketchup said it. I thought it was clear about who would take over though.

lol that was me typing too fast! I meant I thought it wasn't clear about who would take over - I realized the reason Davy was so upset with Calypso was because she wasn't waiting for him and thus doomed him on the ship, just didn't put 2 and 2 together at the end when Elizabeth was there for Will.
