I think there was too much doublecrossing for anyone's taste, really, but at least most of it had enough reason and context for me to follow along.
The thing about the curse is that we don't know how much is the curse itself, and how much was Davy Jones. Unless they had the heart, people pretty much didn't get off the ship very easily unless they went all fishy, but we don't know if that's because you aren't SUPPOSED to go on the ship if you're alive, or if it was just Davy Jones being evil. Similarly, we only ever saw them leaving the boat for fighting, hunting, or delivering threats, and they always went back to the boat when it was over. And again, we don't know if that's because you can't leave the boat unless it's on business, or if, again, it was just Davy Jones being evil. I think they were probably leaving things open so that they could either incorporate the better explanation into an extended edition, or have another movie all about freeing Will from the curse.
