Max Braden: Brett beat me to mentioning Secret Window, which I didn't enjoy because normal Depp is actually pretty boring. I don't know if that's a reaction to "not-weird" Depp, or if he's just that way in straight up roles, but I can believe it because I don't really find him that interesting in real world interviews. I can forgive him for the lousy Pirates sequels, because they failed despite him, not because of him, and who would want to be the one to say "this doesn't live up to the franchise standards, let's not do a sequel" when you have kids lining up for more. I really like that Depp embraces so many oddball roles, because it's rare that you have someone be so good and keep at it without it ever getting stale or repetitive. For instance, how does Keith Richards of all people fail to perform as a pirate father of a pirate? It just works with Depp, and that makes for more interesting movies. I hate to be someone who pigeonholes an actor, but I don't want to see another Tourist-y performance from him.

David Mumpower: I am an unabashed superfan of Depp. I was celebrating his work in From Hell, Blow and Chocolat before he became a global A-Lister. His run-up to Jack Sparrow is every bit as good as what happened afterward. And Edwin is now my sworn enemy for badmouthing Dead Man's Chest, one of my favorite movies of the 2000s. We saw that at a midnight show and the crowd was as hot for it as anything I watched from that point until The Avengers last weekend. Out of all the projects of his I've enjoyed, Charlie and the Chocolate is the best decision. Depp has nothing in common with Gene Wilder and yet it is an impressively respectful variation on Willy Wonka. The primary reason I have been giving Dark Shadows the benefit of the doubt in the face of mediocre buzz is that Depp and Burton were so great together in this movie. My least favorite decision is not The Tourist, a slight-ish movie I like well enough due to its Charade vibe. Alice in Wonderland, financials notwithstanding, is one of the worst blockbuster movies of the 2000s. It's down in Transformers sequel territory for me. I couldn't care less how profitable the damn thing was. All I know is that every time I think about the movie, I get angry.

Reagen Sulewski: I have a feeling that Lone Ranger is going to be one or the other of those things and I'm honestly not sure which yet. The Tourist is definitely an easy target, as it's a lazy film that lets all the exotic locales do the work for it, but it's not really all that terrible a film. That's kind of the only film in his post-Pirates repertoire that doesn't fall into either "huge box office hit" or "obvious labor of love". It's tough to argue with what he's done this past decade in general.

Felix Quinonez: For me, Depp's best decision since the first pirates movie was Rango. I just loved that movie, it was so weird and quirky and just fun. As for his worst decision, I have to say Alice in Wonderland. (I didn't see The Tourist) That movie made me wonder if perhaps Burton and Depp should see other people. There was almost nothing I liked about that movie and Depp's casting just seemed obvious and even lazy.
