The movie that made Depp a box office superstar

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2012)

Prior to this movie Johnny Depp had a nice solid Hollywood career that was very well respected by peers and fans alike. But he was never really that much of a box office draw. He was always known for quirky, interesting and odd ball movies but never brought in the masses. It was this movie where he created one of the most hilarious characters with his Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp was able to take what was just a Disney park ride into a major movie franchise because of his charisma in the lead role. I don't think another actor could've pulled off this role and been taken seriously. Most other actors taking the character choices that Depp did here probably would've been laughed out of the theater but Depp just has that It Factor with this role that it was perfectly created for him that it just clicked.
