2112-Rob-2112 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 This guy is like my all time fav actor...Ive seen alot of his stuff and in every movie he acts totally different...He can play pretty much anything he wants its amazing. I think his best role is Pirates of The Carribean..but every role ive seen him in is always just great. I recently just saw Ed Wood...awesome depp performance again Another mention is Edward Scissorhands..that was a great performance. I just think hes great..what about you guys?

thestand Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 He's a great character actor. I'm not a fan of the Pirates series (actually, I couldn't stand the first, but here's to hoping the next two are better). He has the ability to make bad movies good. For example, Secret Window. I loved Stephen King's Secret Window Secret Garden, but whoever wrote that script ruined it. But Depp made me like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112-Rob-2112 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 I kinda agree on secret window..I liked the mvie but if depp wasnt in it it wouldnt of been crap..but john turturro or however you spell it was good in that movie also.

Midway Hawker Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'm getting ready to watch Secret Window. I really know nothing about it, but I like Depp so I'm giving it a watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only walked out of the theater once before and it was a Depp movie....CRY BABY. It was horrible. I think we didn't even stay for half. Other than that I'm hard pressed to think of any other Depp movie I DIDN'T like. However, I refuse to see Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. I think I'd compare it (& him) too much to Willie Wonka & Gene Wilder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Watch Donnie Brasco - you got to see Depp play an FBI agent going underground with the mob - He is perfection - Al Pacino is in this one too - top 3 mafia movie ever - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Hawker Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Just finished watching Secret Window. Depp is great, but the film is a bit of a let-down at the end. I read a few reviews who said they had it all figured out 30 minutes in. I cannot claim that, so the end was a surprise to me.. It's a 7 out of 10 at best. Still, I liked it in a sick sort of way.

Personally, I think that the new version far outstrips the original. The original was so sugary that I can almost feel my teeth rotting as I'm watching (and the less said about 'Cheer Up Charlie' and 'The Candyman Can' the better). Tim Burton, on the other hand, brought a slightly twisted edge which I think even Roald Dahl would have approved of (and he despised the original).

plodder Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Haha. I love Cry Baby. What a great film. I must get it on DVD. If we see it coming on TV we all stay up and watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly an amazing film. His acting was definitely influenced by how close he was to Hunter S. Thompson. He's going to be in another Thompson movie early next year, "The Rum Diary". Hopefully will be good, even though someone with not much experience is directing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
