The Offiial "Black Mass" Thread (Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger)

[Dirty D]

This movie focused way too much on Connolly and not enough on Bulger.

Performances were good but the script needed an overhaul.

depp killed it and his performance is slipping under the radar. hopefully he gets recognized for this before he goes back to the disney bullshyt like mad hatter and jack sparrow

Film was fire to me - Johnny Depp killed the role

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

A lot of great acting in this one.I was glad it was long too.One of those movies you never want to end.

This was very by-the-numbers. Depp was very good but he didn't shine like I thought he would. The steak dinner scene is the closest he got to greatness and that was that. I don't blame him though. the script was weak and the directing was average.

If someone like Scorsese had directed this it'd have been epic. The Departed is only loosely based on the characters in this but the movie is so much better it's not even worth comparing the two.

Fell asleep on it twice

cool movie

Great acting but the story fell flat in the second act. High expectations hurt this film in my opinion, the story was a side note to "Depp as Whitey Bulger," which lost its appeal 30 mins in...

This is...surprisingly boring so far

Still in the first act tho...hopefully it develops.

@ him teaching his son to punch kids when nobody is looking

Nope. It stays boring homie. I was so disappointed with the lack of energy and momentum the flick had. Great performances but boring as hell

Yup. Depps best scene far and away was in the trailer.
