Indeed, the film takes everything that works in the first film and endlessly bashes you over the head with overkill (Depp included).Yaseen Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908587347677660287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19337329.post-1155965449377778032006-08-19T01:30:00.000-04:002006-08-19T01:30:00.000-04:00dl, I'm glad you agree, but he's also terrific in ...dl, I'm glad you agree, but he's also terrific in Mike Leigh's <I>Topsy-Turvy</I>.<BR/><BR/>Javier - Actually, I was wondering why you were asking me about Depp when he was there in the #26-50 rundown the whole time, but I <I>was</I> hoping you wouldn't notice (to keep the suspense going!)... I do think it's a fantastic performance, but what I realize more and more is that this overall list is more about what touched and impressed me me the most rather than what I consider the "Best". Depp was in the original list until a few other actors came in and knocked him down. <BR/><BR/>And his work in <I>Dead Man's Chest</I> wasn't exactly pushing me to put him over the edge.<BR/><BR/>Nick - It's worth seeing for the acting alone; I myself think it's a pretty fantastic movie, but you might disagree.Yaseen Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908587347677660287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19337329.post-1155956271291502602006-08-18T22:57:00.000-04:002006-08-18T22:57:00.000-04:00Why haven't I seen this?Why haven't I seen this?Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12566330717380805279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19337329.post-1155947036035904812006-08-18T20:23:00.000-04:002006-08-18T20:23:00.000-04:00Oh my God Johnny Depp was a runner-up!

Great write-up, as usual.<BR/><BR/>Still though, all things considering, McKellen IS 2001 for me, but Broadbent's was a fine win. I'm guessing Kingsley is still coming... unless he was one of the runner-ups, that is.Javier Aldabaldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426828972109311760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19337329.post-1155877491856155562006-08-18T01:04:00.000-04:002006-08-18T01:04:00.000-04:00I'm glad that Broadbent made it in for this perfor...I'm glad that Broadbent made it in for this performance, because it truly was superior to everything he's done.DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145416792179912949noreply@blogger.com
