One of the KttC posters pointed out a fine delineation: Jack knew Angelica before he knew Will. He had stirrings for her; he had feelings for Will. I think (coming from a totally Turrow perspective, mind) that the reason he worked so hard to have clever ripostes to Will's remarks was that he loved Will. It didn't matter so much with Angelica because 1) he'd known her so long, she knew what he was; 2) he wasn't trying to impress her (like he was with Will.) Someone else at KttC pointed out that there were a lot of similarities between the Jack/Angelica duel at the beginning of OST and the Jack/Will duel at the beginning of CotBP.
Personally, I liked Angelica a lot. She's a good foil (no pun intended) for Jack and PC has the charisma to do a bit of scene-stealing herself. I think that they "butched" Jack up a bit for this movie, probably because of the Disney execs. It didn't make me love Jack less but it definitely gave a different feel to the movie, which is why I still rank CotBP #1 though OST is definitely better than DMC or AWE. I feel the Phillip/Sirena story is done and I can't see a way for them to bring the characters back (though if it's gonna be done, T & T will figure out a way to do it.)
All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing OST again but I won't see it 11 times in the theatre like I did CotBP.
