If you do a little research, you'll see how difficult it can be for a couple who live together to conceive.<br /><br />I do agree that it (mostly) works. I love the movies.Esther Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688983385593428361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273801961681111400.post-17251127961660932422012-08-30T15:24:08.543-06:002012-08-30T15:24:08.543-06:00I agree I didn't like that ending at all.

Convenient, huh?<br />I think the movies worked - at least the trillogy - movie 4 seemed like it was just trying to sneak in there and ride the other 3. Honestly, it's the type of movie I call a "romp" things just grow and grow and grow - you have fun watching the action along the way - the plot is patchy, but usually held together enough - and then boom, over and tied up as quickly as possible.<br />There are far too many plot holes in the Pirates movies for me to consider this the only absurdity. I will say that I was happy that their was a solid attempt to bring characters in and make sense of things brought up in previous movies.<br /><br />But the movies were fun, and made their money. So I feel it works.<br /><br />Of course, a more realistic end would have been Elizabeth coming to the beach, along woth a new husband and a child under the age of 10. Because in that day and age, she probably would not have survived on her own, and would have had to move on. But what kind of ending would that have been?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949082230333095511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273801961681111400.post-27493826425497052742012-08-30T10:21:04.393-06:002012-08-30T10:21:04.393-06:00Now that you mention it, yes, that is quite an abs...Now that you mention it, yes, that is quite an absurdity. One I don't think I can overcome. Too bad, because the first movie was so so great. Shiela Calderón Blankemeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164253791139502033noreply@blogger.com
