i agree 100%. thank you for saying that.

Same here. The only time we saw the governor was when he was at a desk and even then they were saying 'time to kill him',then we saw him in the boat and that was it!!!

With James it's like the same story. We saw him and the governor at the same time in the office then we saw him on the ship. That was it.

We saw Sao Feng and he dies a little while later...I didn't see the point of him really.

I don't understand why James choosing to be on Liz's side was the end of his character arc. The writers said everyone's story comes to a close. Yeah, death's a close, but they really didn't think he could develop any more than that? Let's see...a good man who was almost always good does a bad thing, and then dies being very, very good. James would have contributed a lot to the film I'm sure. I really wanted to see him in another swordfight. He really held his own against Will and Jack.

And Gov. Swann, where was the character arc there? Jonathan Pryce said he would only reappear in DMC if his character was given something to do. That's why Swann goes to that trouble to get Liz to England, which doesn't work out. So what happened with giving the guy stuff to do? He has two scenes in AWE and I don't even think he speaks in the first one. And who's running Port Royal while he's gone? Does he have a deputy governor, or is it in the hands of the buccaneers now? I don't see how his character developed. He was a very caring dad and did his best in a world that he wasn't really suited for, but that's it.

Beckett took the Governor's powers.

But I agree,it seems they could of developed more.

i almost cried when Gov. Swann died!!

Keira was good at acting hysterical when her papa and hubby died.

^^yeah she was.

Keira was good at acting hysterical. like, in everything. i bet she could act hysterical even if everyone's laughing. >.<

I loved when Keira got all hysterical when her former fiance, would be hubby died...

I think everyone involved upped their acting by like 100%. Just when I thought all of them couldn't do any better, they surprise me! I thought they were great before, but now...wow. I was floored by Keira's performance. Anyone who says she can't act is dead wrong, just dead wrong.

Even Orlando started to chip in a little.

Did those words just come out of my mouth?

Indeed they did.

yeah... now.. back to Norri! 😍

I'd liked Will in CotBP more. He was so innocent. In the last 2 he was just angry. 🙁

He was like CAPSLOCK HARRY in OotP - just lettin' out his emotions. A love or hate kind of deal.

I hope people will get that reference... 😕

OotP? oohh.. order of the phoenix... nope. heard of it, haven't read the book.. *shrug*

seems like we won't be back to norri huh...

Will was nice when he's innocent... innocent pirate.. huh, ironic combination.

Wha - WHAT?

BLASHPEMY!!

I'm going to go off and have a heard attack now.

sorry... >.< only follow the movies.. *sheepish smile* my cousin has the series though.. gah.. no offense but the terminology is making my head hurt. not really interested.. (once again, sorry!)

*revives, CLEAR!*

I thought Will was angrier in COTBP. He was ready to just pound everyone. DMC he matured a little and in AWE he was out-pirating everyone. He shed his wimp reputation by AWE. James Norrington, however, never had a wimp reputation.

reverse that.. wait.. wait.. wait!

willo is right! Will was just immature and wanted to get his own way in CotBP... in DMc, he matured a little. in AWE, he matured alot, he kinda gets what he wants but at the same time learned how to listen.

James? well... definitely totally not a wimp.

I thought Liz was more like OotP Harry especially after James dies in front of her.
