Read More Steady stream of strange characters weave in and out of William Blakes (Johnny Depp) adventure. Bizarre tale of a young man who goes west, after the death of his parents, to take a job as an accountant only to find the job already taken. Movie was fascinating in a rather strange way; youre sort of drawn into it and not released until the inescapable end. Johnny Depp is ageless and as usual, amazing.

Within the first 3 minutes I knew it was going to be unique. Within 45 minutes I was hoping for a mind-blowing hook and twist at the end ~ otherwise I'm REALLY wasting my time. As you can see by my 2-Star rating of the movie....

The two and a half stars I rated it is because of Johnny Depp and the story itself. Otherwise I would have rated it a half star or maybe a one. To clarify why Johnny Depp, it is his ability to portray the character and cause you to feel what he is going through and what he is searching for.
Much symbolism is in this movie. The story was fascinating to me. The humor was clever and the characters intriguing.
Two pointless scenes of sex which had absolutely nothing to do with the story or plot and pointless crude profanity throughout completely ruined it for me. Both were stuck in the film just because, not because it was the language of the period or fit the plot.
If you have the ability to ignore that, the film is indeed poetry. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

This movie is without a doubt the worse movie, I have ever seen Johnny Depp star in, and I am a BIG fan of his and have seen many of his movies. Don't waste your time on this one! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
