Wow. Boy do we agree on most of this whole movie. There was definately some things lacking. I hadn't planned to write a review till everyone I knew saw it, but you kinda hit the nail on everything.
There was at least one thing that you kinda forgot about. Sure Will made a vow to save his dad, but he also lost in the game to Davy Jones which means, technically, he's part of the crew for all eternity already.
I too also wanted to know more about the voodoo lady, but I also wanted to know more about how the guy from the EITC (East India Trading Company) knew about the compass, how it ended up in her hands, etc.
And finally, boy did u get it right that there is more to learn about Jack then we thought. There is definately a backstory there and hope they fill in the gaps in the 3.
But, your comparison to the Matrix is dead-on. In fact, I just did a whole trilogy rant on the subject here: http://technomensch.livejournal.com/164241.html
