Just another piece of evidence supporting my theory that every movie that has Depp in it very quickly becomes all about him, no matter how big or small his character is supposed to be to the story... Alice in Wonderland? Why did they even name it that? 90% of the merchandise has the Hatter (Depp) on it instead of or in addition to Alice. Front of the movie box? Depp. Front of the game boxes? Depp (with Alice a bit behind him). Pirates 1 was about Will and Elizabeth with Jack being an amusing guide to Will and a supporting role and facilitator. He was a lovable rogue that, in the end, had a heart of gold.
Suddenly, movie 2 is all about Jack, with Will and Elizabeth kinda tacked on. And he's a jerkwad willing to sacrifice Will to save his own butt for a week. Even when he's DEAD-ish in the third movie, he's STILL getting a lot of screen time!
It's almost nice, seeing them finally throw up their hands and admit that they're making the series all about Depp, following after adding him to the ride, having him be in most of the advertising and toys and being the ONLY character in the game.
That being said, I think it'll suck. They had nothing to work off of, no plot threads to follow, no minor characters to explore. It's the worst kind of sequel, where they decide to throw a well-established character from the old one into a new, totally unrelated plot (well, to be honest, they MIGHT throw in a few references. Maybe.) to try to get people to remember the first, really good movie and see it again.
