A flat and dull disappointment.

Any film featuring Johnny Depp on-screen is going to bring great excitement to critics, film fanatics and amongst others which generally leads to exceedingly high expectations. Plus, in The Rum Diary there were other possibilities that could make it become something worthwhile to fully enjoy and get a lot of fun out of due to the settings of the film, cinematography and with a story that could hav... read more

Never truly anything great, and Depp is clearly too old for the role, but there’s something so oddly charming and entertaining about The Rum Diary. Maybe it’s that there’s clearly a lot of love for Hunter S. Thompson on display here, and the film works best when you think of it as a love-letter to the days when the artist was trying to find his footing and artistic voice. By the time the fil... read more

I Thought You'd Be Bigger: Part 1 (50 movies items)

"Didn't expect it to be a juggernaut, but with Johnny Depp's name attached, and the oddball look of the film, I thought that it might attract a decent audience. It did not. Prediction: $40-60mil. Actual: $13,109,815."

"Deppillä on vähän tylsää olla Thompson näin toistamiseen. Kirjassa ei tehdä muuta kuin juoda rommia ja syödä hampurilaisia. Tässä juodaan vain rommia ja käydään katsomassa kukkotappeluita, jotka ovat jostain syystä toteutettu hidastettuina. Amber Heard on kyllä ihan näppärä ilmestys ja jo alkujaankin hivenen tylsähkön romaanin olemuksesta on saatu jotain napattuakin. Nimittäin se tylsyys."

"Hammered by critics who had no frame of reference. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Do not expect another "Fear and Loathing", H.S. Thompson, psychadelic trip. This was before Hunter switched to the hard stuff, and was instead hitting the sauce extremely hard. So was everyone else in 1960 Puerto Rico. Very fun, with some trademark witty political satire."

Mack's Movies 2013: January (21 movies items)

" January 7th: Netflix instant: TV screen Overall opinion: Good It was a good and interesting film, beautiful setting, cool story, but still a little lackluster overall. I think it was Johnny Depp who was so disinteresting, though I preferred this over a lot of his other recent performances. That and the story felt minimal, sort of like a prequel to a bigger story. Not a masterpiece but worth seeing if you're interested, especially for Giovanni Ribisi's character Moberg. And at the least it pi"
