Yes, this is so true...there is just no way they can put will/liz together...It's just that, well for me, I just get so excited with every scene that jack and liz are in together, and to me that's what chemistry is all about...it's like when one scene is over, you can't wait for the next scene to see what will happen next...even in POTC 1, after the rescue scene...even though I knew it was a Will/Liz thing, I was like "man, I can't wait until she runs into jack sparrow again," I was so excitedwhen they got stranded on the island together, I kept thinking, Okay, this is when something is going to happen between these two...there was a connection, but nothing concrete, and then when he said those parting words before he jumps off the wall (acts like he fell)...."Elizabeth, he would never have worked between us, Darling, I'm sorry." Love those last lines, and then him singing the Pirate song that she taught him on the island, you just know he's thinking about her....especially now that in POTC 2 we know from the very beginning that Jack is vexed....and then we find out why...and his compass isn't working anymore...and then again we find out why...it's not until the scene between Jack and Liz loading the Pearl that we find out that the "compass points to the thing you want most in this world.".....
Okay so we got Beckett, Fate Intervenes, Tia tells us what vexes men most - a woman, Jack is vexed - so Mr. Gibbs informs us, he can't find the key or the chest because his compass isn't working for him, he hands over his trusty compass to Liz...he sends Will in search of the key, he flirts outrageously with Liz every chance he gets, he even proposes marraige - on a whim, he points out how much they are alike, he seems distressed when Will tells her Jack tricked him onto the Flying Dutchman (he knows Liz trusts him and he doesn't want to lose that trust), Norrington informs us that Liz wants Jack, the compass show us Liz wants Jack...and then Jack returns to the Pearl when he could have made it safely to land, Jack says the Pearl is only a ship, and then we have the sexy Kiss....
Now People on KTTC want us to believe that Jack did not come back to the Pearl Just because of Liz - they say it was for the Pearl and her crew, and that "she's only a ship mate" is insignificant!!!! I don't know how you can be a Pirates' fan and not realize what a big sacrifice this is for JACK SPARROW.....and they also say the compass is pointing to Will through Jack???? uh? I don't know where they get this from...I don't see Will anywhere around in those camera shots.....
Anyways....those are just my quick thoughts...ones' we have rehashed several times...I'm just trying to build back up my positive attitude and believe that the writers know and understand all about Chemistry and that's what it takes to make this next film successful...especially after having just topped the $1billion mark with DMC - and the Liz and Jack story having a lot to do with that success....Because of Jack...and people wanting Jack to be happy and have more great scenes with Liz...IMO
