The story does move slow however I was still intrigued and entertained by the story. I thought the actors portrayed their unusal characters very well.

Steady stream of strange characters weave in and out of William Blake’s (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; you’re sort of drawn into it and not released until the inescapable end. Johnny Depp is ageless and as usual, amazing.

The movie in itself was okay, but the scene with the guy smashing a dead guys brains out with his foot was a bit much. Lots of bullet holes, quite graphic murder scenes.

Very different take on the old western. Not bad but also not great.

This is an oddball western that falls flat. If you want to watch an offbeat western with an anti-hero theme, rent THE LITTLE BIG MAN - it is the best of the genre.

Dead Man could have been/should have been a blow-out cool film. Could have been poetry. 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.

No Substance, Sheer Boredom , this was the type of movie, that you couldn't wait for it to ...just end and be over with! 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!

The story keeps on cutting out! The acting is bad and plot is terriable. Dead man or dead movie. Sorry Johnny!
