Negative Positive
Title: A fair movie at best
Review: While special effects and fabulous sets often cover a world of sins in moviemaking, they don't cover this film all that well. I found the script vapid and Depp's staggeringly unsympathetic performance to be lackluster.Without having taken a sip of alcohol, I found myself falling asleep between musings about when this film was going to make some sense, or at least measure up to its considerable hype. I ordinarily enjoy this type of film but found this one boring. Maybe it's the easily-amused nature of many in today's viewing audiences that made them enjoy this film. If you are easily satisfied, enjoy this movie. If you are more discriminating, pass.
