I'm going to have to watch the writers' commentary sometime in order to fully appreciate what sort of a job they did, but my reaction just from reading the comments... oy.

I was apprehensive as soon as I heard that they were making a sequel because I thought (still do, really), that the first movie was ten times more successful than it really ought to have been (not because I thought it was a bad movie that got too much attention, but because we're talking about a movie based on a theme park ride, so everyone was expecting something about on par with "The Country Bears"), and I thought they were really pushing their luck with not only one, but two sequels. I just don't see how the heck the sequels could possibly live up to the original, which surprised the world by being awesome. It's like being the younger sibling of a child prodigy--you're going to have to really fucking shine if you don't want to pale in comparison.

And from the comments (and other spoilers I hunted down out of morbid curiosity), I now have little reason to believe that this is going to be anywhere near as good as the first. -_- Jack "wants" Elizabeth, now? Frankly, I can't imagine him loving any woman more than he loves his boat, his gold, and himself. :P And I wouldn't have him any other way. I have a feeling this is going to be one of many contrived conflicts injected into the story in order to drag things out for three movies when only one sequel--if any--is necessary.
