Blowing up children inside the pirate ship!

The plot goes nowhere in the third act. According to earlier diologue they are supposed to blow up Sint Niklass' boat at midnight when the baddies convene inside it.

Yet they fight them on land instead. And then they blow up the boat anyway with all the children inside. So Sint Niklass runs away and ends up at the local cathedral. And Frank lies and tells Kurt he killed him.

It's like they tried to undo all the logic that was established in the first hour of the film!

And what's with the dubbing. Did they run out of available voice actors? That one police agent sounded like his voice was simply put on slo-mo and lowered pitch.

"I can't help but notice that there are skulls all over everything. Are we the baddies?"

I think the children were already dead, when you hear them screaming you pretty much hear their trapped soul.

But yeah I don't understand what good blowing up the ship really did... they survived anyway and by the way they tell things at the end they will be back in 42 years...so what was the point in blowing up the ship? It was already over anyway since it was midnight. Makes no sense

I agree. The cries were kinda ghostly and I took them to be the trapped souls of all the children he had taken over the centuries. By blowing up the boat, they were releasing those souls to go move on.
