Should Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Be All Jack, All the Time?

A pirate buddy movie? That's the rumor these days. And while I don't think there are many folks out there complaining that Disney, Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski are contemplating a fourth movie in the series, there are folks wondering whether setting an entirely new course is the right idea. I, however, am not one of them. Nothing excites me more that they're shaking up the series. Is it that I don't like Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley or their characters Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan? No. Hell no. In fact, I love them. But there are some real reasons this series could benefit from the trimming of some of its most important characters.
It's all about Jack.
Let's face it. No one dresses as Will Turner for Halloween. No one does Elizabeth Swan impressions at parties. Every time there's a PotC movie, everyone talks about the same person -- Johnny Depp. And they talk about the same character -- Jack Sparrow. And if you watch all three films together, one thing becomes very clear: the series opens with Jack Sparrow and it ends with him right back where he started. He's the real hero. He's the thrust of the series. So you start first and foremost with him.
