Since then, The Rum Diary, Dark Shadows, The Lone Ranger, Transcendence, Mortdecai, Black Mass and now Alice Through The Looking Glass have either been a flop, performed poorly or have been critically savaged. While it’s hugely disappointing to see Johnny Depp struggling so badly to create films that resonate with a mainstream audience, he’s still undeniably talented.
Instead, he’s been masked behind makeup (Alice Through The Looking Glass) or has been overly eccentric (Mortedcai), which only seems to exacerbate his tabloid reputation as an odd-ball.
Johnny Depp now hasn’t led a box-office barnstormer since 2011’s Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Johnny Depp just needs to make some slight adjustments to get back on track.
