I love that Elizabeth is elected and not once. Not once does anyone refer to her as queen. She's THE GODDAMN PIRATE KING.

Yes! I love that so much (and it bugs me all to hell when people call her a 'pirate queen' in reviews -- no, she isn't! She's the pirate king!).

I loved where they went with the Tia Dalma story -- all the badness that stems from trying to capture and bind this force of nature, this magnificent goddess. That binding like that is a corruption and very clearly shown as wrong.

Fantastic movie.
