Pirates 3 Controversy

IF YOU HAVN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET DO NOT READ THIS POST!!!

-First off I would like to point out that this was a LOT better then #2, more humor, less dark matter. The special effects were way overplayed, and the Calypso story line seemed unnecessary, but aside from that it was a good movie. Jack was more prominently displayed and they tied up all the loose ends.
-The biggest problem I found with the movie, and with the whole series, is the twisted line between good and evil. When Elizabeth was making her big speech about fighting for freedom it suddenly struck me, we're talking about pirates. Pirates were not good, stealing is never justified, but the writers really don't seem to care. The whole movie takes place in a world where there is no good and evil. Will is just as backbiting as Jack, yet they're both "good guys". I'm willing to suspend reality for some entertainment, but we need to be aware of what our entertainment is saying.
-Last, but not least, I wanted Orlando Bloom to die and stay dead. This didn't happen, but it would have been awesome.

PS. Did you guys stay through the credits?
