I knew about all the bad reviews, nothing specific, just that it's bad. I guess that's partly why I wanted to see it. The other reason was not Johnny Depp, but Angelina Jolie. I am comfortable in my sexuality to admit that she is one good-looking woman and I like to look at her. I never really got how Johnny was/is the sexiest man alive (probably multiple times) I just never thought he was all that. I can see how he is charming in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, but he was none of that in this movie; not funny, witty, charming, just one dimensional and cliched. And that is probably the best word for this movie - a big cliche. I still have about 10 minutes left while I write this, and I highly doubt that anything is going to happen that I couldn't predict. The storyline was simple, there was nothing complicated about the story or characters. The action wasn't spectacular, and the music was cheesy, almost Disney-like. With all that being said, it was watchable, the delicious Rufus Sewell had a small part, it's always nice to see him. It was nothing special, I wouldn't even go so far to say it was "cute". Johnny and Angelina could do better but I am not angry that I will never get that 90 minutes back.
Verdict:
Watch it if you have nothing better to do and are on team Angelina.
