Lol.
Well, I suppose I didn't find it as... well... befitting. Beckett didn't display any sympathetic qualities about him to deserve such a 'serene' death [I know, lol, odd choice of description for a huge explosion]. Davy Jones had moments of sympathy, and so when he died, it was understandable. But, compare Beckett's death to that of his henchman, Mercer, who was butchered by Jones. Beckett's death scene was, to me, the most dramatic of all of them, and more effort seemed to be put into it than Will's or Jack's.
...And I'm also curious as to why he didn't give his men the order to fire. Yeah, he'd have still likely died, since he couldn't sink the Dutchman, but he could have definately put the Pearl under. That, or at least, he could have abandoned ship.
I'm torn about Beckett's death. On the one hand it is beautiful, very artsy and a great scene to watch.
On the other hand, Beckett was an utter bastard and probably should have died a more horrible death than what he did, and it seemed to take longer than it should have. I understand he's the ultimate bad guy, but he got way more screen time than other important characters.
I liked it very much.
Throughout the whole of Beckett's evilness, we see him being able to come up with witty, evil comments at the drop of a hat.
His last one is, "It's nothing personal, it's just good business."
And as soon as he realizes the Flying Dutchman has turned against him, and his sailors are looking to him for commands, all he can do is repeat that.
"... good... business... just... good business..."
Poetic justice. 😄
Mrahahah.

I like his crazy moment, but the actual death sucks to me. I was all about revenge. I wanted Jack or Liz or Will to run him through. I wanted them to get their vengeance and for Beckett to suffer a little more.
Ya i really thought that Liz would go crazy on his a$$....but oh wellz!!
Ya he didnt suffer enough which is why i still believe Beckett is not Dead!! lol....Mercer is Dead and he died a nasty death, but i doubt Beckett is dead!
I prefer the accolades of classic, truthful heroes. Vengeance isn't a trait befitting a true hero. Justice is, however, and if that happens to sate your thirst for vengeance, then I suppose you've nailed two birds with one stone. Only in rare instances is it "cool" or enjoyable for me to watch a hero get 'revenge' in a particularly ruthless manner. What separates them from the villain?
...Besides, I doubt Beckett would have been in a position to suffer. Will, Jack, and 'Liz are all really lucky that Beckett didn't just decide to send the entire fleet in, otherwise the last we'd see of Cap'n Jack Sparrow would be as a flesh rug in Beckett's cabin.
He was in a position to kick some major, thorough ass, yet he did the cocky thing and paid for it.
