What happened with Barbossa in the last movie, is that Jack shot him in the big swordfight in the cavern half-a-second or so before Will dropped his blooded coin, and Jack's, into the chest of gold. Whatever supernatural mojo the curse gave him hadn't had time to seal the bullet hole, and the instant the curse was broken, blood poured out of it and he fell down dead.

At least, that's the impression we're given. From the fact he showed up again, and that they mentioned early in DMC that something happened to the entire stash of treasure (not just the Aztec gold) that meant they couldn't go back for it, I'm kind of thinking maybe he wasn't really dead? Still, his showing up there in Tia Dalma's hut was really, really, really unnecessary, IMHO. The Kraken bit was the perfect ending.

(Except, of course, that we did get some interesting Will-Eliz angst in the hut; Will grew all kinds of dimensions in this movie. I just hope they don't go overboard with the jealousy angle in Part 3.)

> I've become quite disenchanted with movies all around. It's sad really.

Yeah, I have a really hard time suspending enough disbelief to really enjoy whatever I'm watching these days. Oh, for the days of the first Jurassic Park, when I actually screamed in the theater. *laughing* Still, DMC was still better than 80% of the popular drek out there these days, and since Nappy & wife paid for all the tickets, I sure didn't mind going!
