He's gotten too typecast. Always playing the same wacky characters. It worked for a few years and I loved him in Ed Wood and Fear and Loathing but he needs to go away for a while and then get back to more subtle character acting.

Like most actors his time near the top of the box office moneymakers list was always going to be finite.
Of course, his choice of movies to star in has been spotty at best over the last decade. That hasn't helped. He can be very good in the right role in the right movie (ie: Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco, and even the first Pirates movie), but he can often be over the top and has chosen to star in some rather lame movies (such as Mortdecai).

I think he should hang it up just for that piece of shit Transcendence....what a waste of a couple of hours.

Apparently, irrespective of role, he is his female co-stars' worst nightmare in terms of 'intimacy'...He doesn't shower or clean his teeth for days / weeks on end...So I've heard...  |

He'll never go away because he can actually act unlike many who have been big for a short while because of the box office then fail miserably.

Sandler and Nic Cage still are allowed to act, so Depp is safe.

Seriously, who apart from the lowest grade, knuckle dragging, monosyllabic throwback finds Sandler even remotely funny? Heh, I kinda liked him when he first hit the scene on SNL and even the early movies like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, even The Wedding Singer... but yeah, his schtick got old fast. I think it may actually be Depp syndrome again - it's not that Sandler can't be a decent comedic actor, or sometimes even a more-serious one ( Punch-Drunk Love, Funny People), he just seems to choose the laziest, shittiest crap that lands on his desk. Given that his next four movies are going straight-to-Netflix, though, it may be safe to call his biggest days over. |

And if you count Tusk, you can make this four flops in a row (not that I doubt anyone, Kevin Smith included, ever expected it to be a big hit). I was enjoying the movie just fine 'til Depp comes in and does his fey little weird guy with an accent yet again and nearly drags the whole stupid thing down. To make it worse, apparently this character is back with a bigger role in the next Smith movie. Bleh.

At the eruption of every volcano, mustaches fall, and at this, the burning ember end of Johnny Depp’s once-explosive stardom, the actor mustache himself a question: How much longer can I play a supporting role to a hairpiece? Judging by the returns for Mortdecai—which has become Depp’s fifth box-office bomb in a row (not counting his small Into The Woods role, in the full-body wig of the Big Bad Wolf)—the question has become as pointed as the whiskers that he and Mortdecai’s producers found so inherently hilarious, and every bit as soaked in tears. Not as enamored with mustache gags, audiences rejected the comedy where Depp stockpiles foppish accents, funny hair, and outlandish clothes like he’s prepping to ride out a blizzard, giving it a mere $4.13 million for a ninth-place finish. To put that in perspective, it’s less than half what Transcendence opened to the last time everyone pointed out that Depp can no longer open a non- Pirates movie, and it’s more than $1 million less than what the decidedly smaller The Rum Diary pulled in its debut. It’s safe to say that Lionsgate probably wishes it could walk back declarations that Mortdecai is an obvious franchise, as this weekend likely spelled an end to dreams of sequels where Depp’s art detective progressively gets to grow a Van Dyke, muttonchops, and—in the ill-advised, Son Of Mortdecai reboot—Roberto Benigni clinging to his chin. Also putting Mortdecai’s failure into stark relief: It was out-earned nearly three-to-one by The Boy Next Door, Jennifer Lopez’s after-school special about the dangers of having sex with 19-year-olds after school. The film opened to $15 million and an audience that was more than 70-percent female, and an estimated 25 percent camp-loving gay men who have already been cackling over “I love your mom’s cookies” for weeks now. Mortdecai was even killed by Strange Magic, George Lucas’ garish-looking karaoke fairy tale—though that film’s still-dismal $5.5 million haul will likely cause a brief frown to flicker across the faces of Lucas and Disney executives before they return to their daily money baths. In the second-most successful assassination story of the week, American Sniper continues to rally audiences who view it as their duty to support the heavily sanitized troops in the face of people who express reservations about that. A $64 million haul gave the Clint Eastwood film one of the biggest second weekends for a movie ever, and the biggest period for an R-rated movie, outpacing even that other incredibly violent film that was the responsibility of every patriotic American to see, The Passion Of The Christ. Surely someone at Warner Bros. must be pitching a sequel—possibly about a brave yet tormented man who replies with deadly precision to the liberal tweets made by Michael Moore and Seth Rogen. (“Or perhaps American Snipper, about a brave yet zany barber?” Johnny Depp chimes in.) |

Given that his next four movies are going straight-to-Netflix, though, it may be safe to call his biggest days over. He was very good in Punch-Drunk Love. He was good in Funny People, just the movie didn't need to be longer than Bertolucci's 1900. The odd part is, I remember almost liking the even-fucking-longer Director's Cut version better than the theatrical one, but I don't even remember what was added or altered now. It's really the only of Apatow's films that I've liked much at all though, the rest tend to just lose me by the halfway mark. (Oh and yeah, and as Sandler comedies go, I know me and Cducharm will both also gladly stick up for the nearly universally despised That's My Boy. I actually think if it had came out right after Funny People instead of continuing to do the kind of bullshit movies his character is mocked for in said film, it probably would have done a whole lot better critically and commercially.) |

Oh bloody hell its easy He was overexposed all those Pirates movies it was what at lease one a year, for how many years?, then he became a musician appearing on Aerosmith's last album, people are sick of you Johnny, go the fuck away for two years no movies no TV, just some interviews, chill enjoy your money, Doesn't he have kids? a wife?, when you come back onto the big screen people will want to see you again. Nope. Not once a year and not over exposed. Bad films after Pirates. 1.1 The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) 1.2 Dead Man's Chest (2006) 1.3 At World's End (2007) 1.4 On Stranger Tides (2011) 1.5 Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) |

(I only saw the first one myself and could tell it wasn't my thing at all.) I'd say there's been a pretty widespread opinion of Depp being overexposed, too. Really, what's the last non- Pirates movie that anyone really seemed to like? Looking over his filmography, you'd practically have to go all the way back to Blow in 2001 to find something I remember both critics and audiences liking (and also looks like one of the last times he wasn't buried under ridiculous get-ups and accents). I guess From Hell has its fans, but that's another movie from '01. Unless you count his voicework in animated films like The Corpse Bride and Rango (which I did like and is worth seeing), the rest of the filmography is littered with Pirates, crappy Tim Burton remakes, and not a hell of a lot else except a bunch of flops. I guess his quick cameo in 21 Jump Street was alright. |

They made 4 movies and the original Start Wars made 3 movies. And it's not like he has been in a lot of movies outside the Pirates series except being in bad ones. Johnny should be smart enough to pick good scripts and not just charge 20 million for his services. You say he was over exposed but nothing backs up what you claim except what you think people feel. The Pirate films were good films if you like that kinda movie. |

Loved the first Pirates film. The other three were terrible. Can't remember the last movie he did I enjoyed.

The Pirate films were good films if you like that kinda movie. The Pirates films made shittons of money doesn't mean they're any good. People loved Jersey Shore too and fawn over every move of Kim Kardashian. Critics and anyone with the slightest hint of taste detests those fucking Pirate films and all the shitty Tim Burton atrocities the cunt makes. Between the hell of those Pirate movies and the horror of shit like Alice In Wonderland the dude's fucking career is completely loathsome. Did anyone fucking think The Lone Ranger was a good idea? I've honestly read a lot of reviews from people who actually did enjoy The Lone Ranger and felt it got trashed just a little too hard because of it being yet another "Depp in wacky makeup!" movie - but even with the positive reviews, they almost all still said the movie is way too fucking long and only works in fits and spurts. I read enough reviews that indicate it at least has a little bit going for it as an interesting failure that it made me slightly curious, but I'm sure I'll be keeping a hand on the fast-forward button if I ever watch it. (And Christ, couldn't you people find a real Indian? Ask me next time, I'll show you where to find a whole bunch of 'em!) |

I didn't like Depp's "Tonto" take on this character. You could have played Tonto the way The Lone Ranger was played and kept Depp as an added character that was used along the way or tied into Tonto's history. Depp's the reason The Lone Ranger didn't play so well with audiences. To much hype and comparison to Jack Spario. |
