I'm only halfway kidding. I know Depp didn't direct this but my goodness....there are a ton of shots of Depp smoking a ciggy or gazing wistfully, trying to act cool. It came off as a bit of a vanity project sometimes.
A shame, because Steadman deserved the full attention. Was a little silly to see Depp preening for the camera.

You're obviously obsessed with Depp. I barely saw him in here.
shareInteresting. So I suppose the dozens of reviews of the film which point out Depp's constant presence....they're just all "off", right? The Guardian's review put it best, pointing out: "the waning presence of Johnny Depp, loitering between poor career choices to pull on a cigarillo and point at pictures"
I am not sure we saw the same movie.
Wow.
Do a little online research....it's clear that Depp's presence is a distraction for the film, in the eyes of critics....and certainly me.
"You're telling me the future is video and NOT film?"
I agree. Watching Johnny Depp posing and being a really cool guy can be very irritating. I also thought the excessive animation and bad music didn't help either. Ralph Steadman's work and his creative process alone would have made for a better film.

Depp really wasn't in it that much and him being there didn't bother me at all, I liked to see them hanging out together and Depp clearly has an admiration for Steadman's work. This was definetely 100% about Steadman. I thought that it was a great documentary. animation, music and all.
