Elizabeth and the not-telling-Norrington. Which is so much more grrrful with the cut scene in, because it's her /deliberately/ not telling him-- and her quick turnaround (with the desperate "OMG I need to tell him!!!111") doesn't make so much sense. But with the movie as it is? She still should have told him. Sooner. Even if it was a manipulative "Hey, you've given your word, so you're not going to back out, but you should probably know..." thing, playing on his whole honor thing to keep him in the game once he'd said yes.
Oh, definitely. Elizabeth could have totally played on Norrington's sense of honor and the fact that he gave his word to keep him to the agreement to go to Isla de Muerta even if he thought the business about undead pirates was wacky. So, yeah, that'e just one more thing that makes me "Grr," about the scene.
But I really, really don't get why it takes Elizabeth - who is supposed to be and is a smart character - until Norrington orders her sequestered for her safety to realize that he and his men are GOING INTO BATTLE with the cursed crew of the Pearl. I mean, just ... She's *seen* that crew in action; she watched them blow the Interceptor to smithereens *just because they could*. What did she think was going to happen when the Navy got to IdM? Norrington would offer Barbossa tea and ask for Will and that would be the end of it? She *had* to know/should have known a fight was forthcoming. And if she could figure out when that realization hit her in the movie that Norrington needed to know about the curse, then she fucking should have known he deserved to know the truth when she *accepted his proposal*.
