Depp was awful

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2004)

My family rented the DVD of Pirates last night, but I had to stop watching half way through because Johnny Depp was so bad.
What was he trying to do ?
He seemed to be playing it partly as a 'fop' (slightly camp) with an accent that was someway between a bad English accent and a bad Australian one.
It is one of the worst performances I have seen in a movie for years.
After reading some of the reviews on this site, where they say he deserves an oscar, well all I can say is that they must have made two versions of the movie, one where he is great, the other where he is awful, and we rented the one where he was awful.
