Perhaps film makers of the future will ensure an audience with the cliff-hanger technique. It worked for the abominations that were the Matrix sequels, and it worked for this. What I really loved about the first film was that it was unselfconsciously fun. The last two films take themselves too seriously by far, and they are full to the brim with stuff that simply never gets used, like certain characters, or plot, counter-plot, double-cross, double-double-cross, but none of it actually matters because it gets washed away in a roaring maelstrom of CGI and swashbuckling. Also, if you kill a major character off, it's sure to resonate in the minds of the viewers as a moving piece of cinema...however that didn't work for me in this film...and not in Moulin Rouge either...
