The green flash was him returning from "World's End" for his "once very ten year" time on land. Just like Davy Jones, he can only step on land once every ten years. He is bound to the Dutchman forever, not free at all.
There was a big, long discussion elsewhere on these boards that brought up something interesting (I only read it the other day after FINALLY seeing the movie). One of the people said that s/he had seen an interview with, hmm, maybe Bruckheimer (maybe someone else) that went along with the interesting thing, and they said that there was a deleted scene that explained it...
I don't know if this is "true" or not, but it was interesting. That part of the Flying Dutchman curse is that if your true love waits for you and is there at the 10 years, then the curse of being bound to the ship is lifted (could be why Davy Jones was so upset with Tia/Callypso for not being there?). Of course, he still has no heart (still trying to figure out how he can have no heart but still have, you know, the ability to make a baby, but I digress...and heck, Davy Jones did create tears when sad, so there we are), but he doesn't have to be on the ship for 10 years at a time.
At first I doubted, but then I thought "hey, that's interesting".
I think there are many things they could do with another movie, none of which have to have Bloom or Knightley (her face was getting so tense by the 3rd movie I left with a headache from watching her)...Sparrow, Barbossa...hey, even Beckett. I am not sure I "buy" him deciding that his OWN death would be "good business", he seemed far too narcissistic for that, and as far as I know (and if I'm wrong, please tell me nicely) they never really did explain what "mark" Sparrow had left on him...could be something interesting there. And it seemed that he fell into that water, the water that Callypso is now the goddess over again... I coulnd't stand him in the 2nd movie, but suddenly he became interesting, in a nasty slimy smarmy way, about halfway through the 3rd, and I'd like to see more about him in a movie... can't believe I just typed that.
I am really not usually that into movies that I talk about sequels...but I really liked this one.
