Jonny Depp as Jack Sparrow?

[Knowbull]

Just wondering, how many saw the latest "installment" of this Pirated series. Would you see another? Is it entertaining? Is "Jack Sparrow" the personage that he will be "known" for?

He's still edward scissor hands to me!!!

Jonny Depp has done so many weird personages that I highly doubt he will ever become known for just one. Sure a lot of mainstream peeps will know him as jack sparrow but I'll always associate him with Hunter C Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you haven't seen that movie yet, do yourself a favor and check it out.

I thought the new movie was great. Its not so bad for Depp to be forever associated with a 3 billion plus dollar franchise. Ive seen critics compare it to waning movies like police academy that got worse with each installment, with an ever changing main cast. As weve seen, the pirates movies have all been blockbusters, and dont seem to be loosing steam, plus a couple of big names have had recurring roles, and there are prepped for 5 and 6. Im looking forward to more from Jack Sparrow, and I will end up buying the complete special edition boxed set when it comes out after all the movies are made.

Eh... Kinda getting sick of Depp anymore. He was decent in Secret Window, did well as Willy Wonka - eventhough I MUCH prefer Gene Wilder, but anymore Depp is being pushed as the vehicle instead of the movie. Case in point - Alice in Wonderland. Excellent movie, and though Hatter was a main character, he's top billing and front and center on the DVD box. I dont' think that's right, especially when the chica playing Alice did a wonderful job.

I'll probably remember him for Willy Wonka for some weird reason. I either remember him from that or every girl between the age of 13-17 drooling over him.

I thought the last installment was okay. Better than 2 and 3, but not as good as number 1. I still don't know why Mrs. Swann didn't appear in the fourth one since she was still alive at the end of the 3rd one, even though she had a child.

"We can't stop here! This is bat country!!"

There was only one road back to L.A., U.S. interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker, and Barstow, and Berdoo. Then on to the Hollywood freeway straight into frantic oblivion. Safety... obscurity... just another freak in the freak kingdom. We'd gone in search of the American dream, it had been a lame **** around. A waste of time. There was no point in looking back. **** no, not today, thank you kindly. My heart was filled with joy. I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Algier, a man on the move, and just sick enough to be totally confident.



Yeah, I just thread-jacked the f*ck outta this thread. The Hangover is for fakers and weekend warriors, this was how you really took over Vegas.

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

This will always be Johnny Depp's 'role' in my mind.

 

[Trauma1]

Jonny Depp is an amazing actor, imo; versatile and entertaining. He is equally as good in every "Pirates" movie in my eyes.

I remember him back in the days of "21 Jump Street"...

I.....love ....the pirate movies. :yup:
not much more to say...please continue

 

[Eizbear]

Yupp, love the man.. He has done so many different types of roles and succeeded so good with it.. Many actors are limited to one type of character... For example Harrison Ford, I can't picture him as a bad guy.. Doesn't work for me..
Bruce Willis can pull it of, but it's really hard for him...

I can totally picture Johnny Depp as The Joker in Batman , would be really awesome if that happened!

The Pirates saga is awesome, just love em! And to be honest, I think my wife loves Jack Sparrows a bit too much All girls in Sweden seems to do that... HA!

Which, in case you didn't know, is coming back on the big screen, starring.... you guessed it.

I wonder if it'll be a Tim Burton film... ?:blink:

 

[Eizbear]

Once upon a time in Mexico was good too ... Just wanted to add that

But come on, Tim Burton, don't say you like him... right ?

Chevy Chase, there we have an awesome dude!

 

[Mrodz]

Tim Burton blech, except A Nightmare Before Christmas I used to love Edward Scissor Hands but the Emo fad has kind of killed it for me.

Chevy Chase as Jack Sparrow??? hmmmmmm.....

 

[Young Gotti]

Johnny Depp is fear and loathing and blow....but the children "pirates" movies is what really makes him bank

Blow was a frickin awesome movie. If you haven't seen it yet you have to check it out.

"Whats this???? Oregano???"

Bumping with a drawing of The Depp as all the above

LOL masterpiece!

I was thinking about this thread when mowing the lawn (I'm prone to pondering when mowing) and even tho it's not the original topic i think that the Best Pirate isn't really Jack Sparrow (even though I really like the character), for me Barbosa is the best Pirate I've seen.

Agreed. Barbosa is the quintessential and classic pirate captain character.
