I hear people saying this movie did poorly. Well, let me tell you why it did poorly: first of all, its rated PG-13, which means parents are afraid to take their children to see it; secondly, it was up against a franchise from Dream Works Pictures (Despicable Me 2).
Other than those reasons, the film is a success in the age range 18-39. If the film had been a PG rating, you could have seen the numbers soar closer to that of "Despicable Me 2". However, I am glad to see that Disney films have become edgier since the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was released a decade ago.
Johnny Depp is okay in this film, not the greatest, not the worst (his voice is like Nicolas Cage's, it never changes no matter what movie or setting he's in). The real star of the film is Armie Hammer ("J. Edgar" fame) as The Lone Ranger, and doing his own stunts was amazing. Honestly, I think he will go far after this.
