Rating: B Commentary: It’s a brazen design that quickly sums up the lead character without much effort. It’s a bit heavy on the design flourishes, but it works well enough. |
Rating: C Commentary: I haven’t been a fan of Johnny Depp in a long time and this looks a bit like his Captain Jack Sparrow character perhaps with a little more clarity. However, the trailer looks goofy enough and it’s nice to see him break away from Tim Burton again that it could be a nice diversion. |

Oscar Chances: I’m sure there will be some small talk of Depp for an Oscar nomination, but I think the film will ultimately fizzle out before then. A screenwriting nomination might be possible as well. |
