An average movie

Personally, I never had some high expectations concerning this flick and when it turned out to be a huge flop with some pretty negative reviews, I pretty much lost all hope. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed most of it and when I was just starting to think that Johnny Depp was slowly becoming the most overrated actor in the world, he reminded me why once I used to love his work so much. Indeed, even though you could argue that he used pretty much the same gimmick as he did with 'Pirates of the Carribean', I thought that Johnny Depp was quite hilarious and with Armie Hammer, they made a great couple composed of a crazy Indian and an incompetent lawyer who doesn't want to shoot anyone. Unfortunately, all the rest of the movie, especially the plot was quite underwhelming, expect for a few decent action scenes. Indeed, it was all rather pedestrian with the evil railroad tycoon, the outlaws disguised as Indians, the two brothers loving the same wife,... Furthermore, they really messed up the tone. Indeed, even though it was marketed as a Disney family feature, it was actually quite violent (there was even a guy eating someone else's heart for God sake!) but it was also too goofy and shallow to be taken really seriously. To conclude, of course, it was nothing amazing, but I think it was actually quite entertaining and it is worth a look. Hopefully, since it is yet another flop for Johnny Depp, maybe he will start again to be considered a box-office poison and maybe he will go back to some smaller and, above all, more interesting projects.
