I've heard a lot of different kinds of criticism about Johnny Depp over the years, but this is honestly the first time I've ever heard anyone even suggest he was anything but the best part of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Johnny Depp Is Mad And Creepy
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
"Jack sparrow is the most 2-dimensional character in a "popular" movie I have ever seen, the executives of the 1st pirates movie found out exactly what the audience liked i.e. Johnny Depp wobbling around and spouting quirky catch phrases and decided to make that the ENTIRETY of the sub-par 2nd and God awful 3rd movies. By the halfway mark of the 2nd film he basicly parodiezes his own character unintentionaly.Malygris said:
and notice how i said Johnny Depp ruined PIRATES, not Pirates of the Carribean. Pirates are cool, Pirates of the Carribean is lame and drawn out and I will allways remember seeing "Worlds End" as the day i discovered a movie trilogy with a more drawn out ending than lord of the rings.
A few sources mention that this may or may not even be how depp will look, as the movie would incorporate live action with motion capture like Beowulf, so this could just be an artists rendition, or a concept costume.

I quite like Depp as an actor, I think he's really quite good. Will he be the right person for the role as the Mad Hatter? We shall see when the film comes out, until then I'm going to hope it doesn't get fucked up and this is a film that people will remember as one of those good remakes you hear people talking fondly about for years afterwards.
Not really impressed by the photo. Guess it doesn't fit my tastes. Depp looks like more a homeless clown than a lunatic, but I find that oddly appropriate for Burton's hight-hearted darkness. Still might see the movie, I do love Burton films.
All depends on how Alice is. I'm a huge fan of all three, but attempted gestalts have a habit of turning all the constituents to pap.
And Gene Wilder beats the living pants out of him for Willy Wonka.

Depp does in fact usually play some weird and/or peculiar roles.
I admire him for being so versatile and successfully executing so many different characters.
But being the Mad Hatter does not impress me.
Now...if he were to play Alice. THAT I'd like to see and would be impressive.

He wasn't the best part of the films. Before I got tired of everyone fangirling (and sometimes fanboying) over him, I thought we was amusing but nothing more. I'd criticize his character in the second and third films, but honestly, that would be unfair since the character development in both of those sucked.Malygris said:
For me, there is only the first Pirates movie.
As for Johnny Depp himself, I'm just tired of him being in every film. Then again, I liked when Tim Burton did the Planet of the Apes remake. Granted it wasn't as great as the original, missing a lot of the actual commentary being made and going for just Hollywood fun, but hey, it was a fun movie, and it wasn't the typical "everything must look Goth!" type of film.
This? This is going to spawn a shit ton of Hot Topic merchandise before it is even released with a bunch of teens that never even read the book (though gotta admit I haven't either) declaring it as the best piece of motion art ever.
It really is hard for me not to judge someone when they declare love for Burton and/or Depp. It basically says "lookit me, I'm a hopeless little goth boy/girl that likes things because society tells me it fits with my image".
I hated the book and loved the original(strange), but I will agree on the whole American McGee idea.ccesarano said:
After Sweeney Todd AND Corpse Bride, you mean. Both were excellent, in my opinion.Indigo_Dingo said:
No, you didn't get redirected to a movie news website. But the name of the forum is "The News Room", not "The Video Game News Room".Arbre said:
Alice in Wonderland has always been my favorite fairy tale (If you consider it a fairy tale, and I do) it's also my favorite animated Disney film.
I especially enjoy dark re-imaginings of the Alice stories. Whether it be Alice in Wonderland or Through The Looking Glass (The lesser known sequel). So I'm quite excited about this, I just hope it doesn't turn into anything that resembles Burton's version of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. That was just awful.

What are you talking about? The only movie version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starred Gene Wilder in a great interpretation of Willy Wonka. There was never a remake involving Johnny Depp as Willy Michael Jackson Wonka. You're just imagining things.Jobz said:
Gotta say, Sweeney Todd made me fall in love with the Butron/Depp combo. I will go see this movie.
