Depp's biggest problem recently has been that he has chosen projects pretty poorly. He is unquestionably a very talented actor and really just needs to be a bit more choosy on scripts to get his career back on track. I think his biggest mistake has been to focus too much on the ultra-quirky roles. While those may be what propelled him to his biggest successes, he's reached an age where he really needs to more strongly establish himself as a character actor. He's certainly capable of it and has given some strong, more straightforward performances ("Sleepy Hollow" immediately comes to mind), so he just needs to find the right projects.

I like going to movies where I can see an actor become something new and different; with him it just seems like it's Johnny Depp playing a Johnny Depp character in a Johnny Depp movie. It's fun at first, but the novelty has worn off
Originally Posted By JeffG I agree with that. In fact, I never got around to seeing the 4th Pirates movie, mostly because by the third movie I was pretty tired of the Jack Sparrow character.

Originally Posted By dagobert Johnny Depp is still a fantastic actor, he just shouldn't play all the time the same weird roles. Donnie Brasco was great, but my favourite Depp movie is still Blow.

Originally Posted By dagobert As I mentioned before, I liked the last movie better than POTC 2, but I think this new movie will be good, just because new people are working on it. There are new writers and new directors and that will benefit the movie. By the way, Johnny Depp has another movie coming up. It's called Black Mass and the trailer looks very promising. <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/433197-black-mass-watch-the-trailer-for-the-crime-drama-starring-johnny-depp">http://www.comingsoon.net/movi...nny-depp</a>
