Every Johnny Depp Movie This Century, Ranked
Updated November 13, 2017 to add Murder on the Orient Express
A busy Johnny Depp has put up a lot of numbers in the 2000s. He's made dozens of films. He's been directed five times by Tim Burton. And he's made five Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the newest of which, Dead Men Tell No Tales, recently reached theaters.
We surveyed all 38 of Depp's narrative films released since 2000. The movies landed on our scale from a high of 85 to a low of 23. Find the complete rundown below, ranked from worst to best by Metascore.
It was not in the plan for Depp to be in Terry Gilliam's 2009 epic fantasy. But then Heath Ledger died during production, and, in an impromptu revision, Depp was one of three actors called on to play different iterations of Ledger's character. Critics were understanding, and mostly in awe of Gilliam's vision.
“The Depp sequence is especially poignant, apparently rewritten with references to other celebrities who died before their time--Rudolph Valentino, James Dean and Princess Di--and who will remain 'forever young' in our imaginations.” —Lou Lumenick, New York Post
