I don't think there is a thread for this. I'm watching Depp on Jimmy Kimmel promoting this film right now and he seems drunk or something.

Mind yew don't cut'cherself, Mortdecai...

Saw the trailer for this nonsense in the theatre the other day. While I like Depp, I am puzzled by his continuous choices of utterly uninteresting fodder for film.
This one is to be skipped at all costs!

Well, the last time Depp and Bettany teamed up, the result was....Transcendence. Uh oh.

[klauswhereareyou]

This would probably be an amusing rental, but no way I'd watch this in the theater.

Most reviews seem to imply this would of been watchable had it been without Johnny Depp...so that's just a round a bout way of saying it's unwatchable because of Johnny Depp.

Perv. Oh, you meant the movie. Damn lowercase spelling threw me off.

People are tired of the same old, same old. Depp always playing some zany character, and most of them are relatively unknown. It works in Pirates but little else.

When did Depp become so toxic at the box office? I know many of his post original trilogy Pirates movies weren't huge grossers, but even stuff like Public Enemies that kind of left audiences and critics divided made fairly good box office (200 million worldwide).

He's an actor whose career has been one of streaks. Back in the 90's, he was almost box office poison. What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Ed Wood, Dead Man, Nick of Time, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Ninth Gate, and The Astronaut's Wife were all either disappointments or outright bombs. His only hits were modest ones like Benny & Joon, Don Juan DeMarco, and Donnie Brasco.

Then along came Sleepy Hollow which was a surprise hit and he was suddenly box office gold. Pretty much every movie he made in the last decade was either a modest success(Secret Window, Blow, From Hell, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Public Enemies, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, The Tourist, Rango) or a blockbuster smash(the Pirates series, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland). Plus he nabbed 2 Best Actor nods in that timeframe.

Then along came Dark Shadows and he's back to being box office poison again. I think it's because the oddball roles he keeps taking have grown tiresome as well as some of his recent films being absolute crapfests like Transcendence. Granted, I thought some of his big hits in the past 10 years like Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory weren't particularly good either, but I think maybe people are just getting bored with him as an actor.

It is expected to have the same box office fate.

I think he has become distracted lately...can't say I blame him.

Was planning on watching this over the weekend

[Count Orlok]

They had a preview for this when we went to see THG back in November. The trailer got a few laughs from the audience. I'll check it out when it comes to the cheap theater. For $3 on Wednesdays, the cheap theater here really given itself a nice update. I just don't want to give Gwenyth Paltrow too much of my money.

[Talal86]

Wow, this is so cringeworthy

Johnny Depp needs an intervention
