Gasp! LovelyOne, you have given me hope once again!!!
And, not to be a downer, but POTC is in between the fun, summer movie adventure, and the full out epic.
In the fun, summer movie adventure, no one dies. No one good dies in Indiana Jones or in The Mummy or those kinds of shows that are meant to be good fun. POTC is definitely good fun.
But is it also an epic? There are deaths in The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Braveheart, and Star Wars, and those are all modern epics. So I'm not ruling out the possibility of anyone dying in this next movie.
