I just didn't like them setting up the fight and not doing it. And what the armada can't go fight the pirates AT THE SAME TIME the dutchman was fighting the Black Pearl?
The other Armada could not fight the pirates because Calipso's storm served as a barrier. Remember they were all ships with sails. Without Calipso, the pirates would have no chance.
I'll also mention for no reason, the Black pearl is the fastest ship because it's the only one with retractable ore's. Even so it would not stand much of a chance trying to tear it's way against the currents.
The malestrom was't strething across the entire sea so they couldn't get to each other. If they were going to end it like they did they just should have had the Black Pearl just go out and fight, no speech, no raising of the flags, just go and fight the dutchman.
The wirlpool is what kept opposing ships engauged for battle. And the final battle was indeed action packed. Pirates and demonic sea pirates swinging around on ropes trying to have at one another. Pleanty of cannon blasts, and sorry to say, alot of dead pirates and duchies (seemingly only the chinese pirates were getting killed, that may not sit well with the chinese communities)
The wedding induring battle may make some cross their arms and shake their heads. It was a successful attempt to blend comedy with how curagous the characters really were. Wedding 2 others who are subject to have their heads cut off at any given time, as well as the one with the self proclaimed invested power to do so, is a laughable matter.
Not saying everyone will laugh and enjoy this flick. But there is a code to critiquing movies. The trick is not to base it on you're personal taste, but to mark it for it's key factors. If you cannot understand what you saw, then you're opinion has no value in terms of labeling a project. We have critics that are already bashing the transformers movie just because the Transformers do not resemble their original appearances, and we'll hear more from them i'm sure. I too am dissapointed that they do not look like G1, but that aside one can't allow things like that set the film itself, it may suck for other reasons.
And just to add what i just wrote, if the Pirates III movie was no good, this very thread would not be on fire as it is now. Picking it apart "here" is like going to a Star Trek convention and critisizing the whole lot. It dosn't make sense to highlight what you don't get, over and over again when people here don't want to hear you're free speech. It's just asking for argument. Honestly, it really is.

On a personal note i thought the elements in Pirates III came together nicely. The Back stabbing was the driving force that sprung about the fruits of the main characters labour.
-Sparrow egging on Will to be more like himself then trowing him out there to do what Sparrow intends. Making Will's intentions stronger. Sparrow has such a way of enfeebling.
-Sparrow voting Elizabeth to be the pirate king because he knew her motives would work in his favour. (And clevarly voting last. Captain Morgan keeping everything legit lol)
-Barbosa breaking one of the pirates codes by disobeying the pirate King, in order to honor his word to Calipso, which ended up being the edge the pirates needed in the end.
A very detailed picture, i'm sure seeing it again one would see things they missed before.
A battle with the entire Armada + the success of the pirates wouldn't register correctly in risky terms and would tarnish the belivable aspects. In the art of war it's been a rule to retreat when the leader has fallen. That is the what the Dutchmen displayed in the end of the movie. The leader was foolish not to send his ponds to take the glory, the movie displayed this foolishness with bonecrushing slow motion FX which i think is a very appealing way to deliver the reasons behind the other ships retreating.
