The Trailer For Mortdecai Shows Johnny Depp Like You've Never Seen Him Before...Quirky And Humorous

I like Johnny Depp a lot and I'm certainly not alone. The dudes got a ton of successful movies under his belt, and while some weren't good (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory namely), roles like Jack Sparrow and Rango had him subverting the norm to create fantastic and engaging characters. His recent movies (especially Transcendence) have been lacking, but as I pressed play to watch, for the first time, the trailer for his next feature film Mortdecai, I hoped the trailer would show promise of Depp restoring some luster to his career.

Well now, didn't that just look excruciating? Seriously, the jokes in here got old after just over a minute, how is this gonna hold for two hours?? The supporting cast at least looks good (I believe Jeff Goldblum is in this, so huzzah!!), and Depp does look like he's having fun playing a more out-and-out free spirit. But the film just doesn't look that interesting, a word that usually can be counted on when it comes to a film starring Johnny Depp.
