... I just found this wonderful entry thanks to a link from permetaform and I swoon at all your lovely analysis. But I *had* to comment on this:
Oh, back to Norrington for a sec! He just swings over the side of the Dauntless (first, too- he leads his men from the front) and charges (collectedly) into battle. Against skeletons. Without a twitch or a hesitation. I just love him so.
I. Love. That. Seriously, if I'd not already been smitten by the character prior to that moment in the movie, that moment would have sealed the deal. He's *ruthless* in his competency and that, on top of his being a true gentleman *and* a stone-cold fox? What's not to love? I'd also like to take a moment to point out that the pirate he unflinchingly shoots in the heart before taking out his sword and opening a can of Naval whup-ass? Is Koehler. Koehler was bad-ass enough to *sass Barbosssa* earlier in the movie. That's whose ass the good Commodore is kicking during the fight on the Dauntless.

okay, I know this comment is over a year late, but ...

I ♥ him so.
