      I don't care. i will still see it.



    2. 2

      So what?



    3. 3

      So did Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen but it smashed the box office!!! Love love loved it!!! :-) x x x



    4. 4

      That's the FIRST bad review I've seen of the movie Perez… and somehow a Yahoo movie critic doesn't impress me as much as the LA Times movie critic.



    5. 5

      Good thing that Johnny has NEVER cared what the critics think. He has forged his career his own way, and has never given in to the Hollywood machine. He's so hot, his hot streak will never be over!!



    6. 6

      Yeah, I really don't give a damn about what yahoo says, since when were they a reliable source? I don't recall ever hearing anyone say they weren't going to see a movie because yahoo said it wasn't that great. Every other reviewer has loved it, so why don't you try putting up reviews people actually care about. I highly doubt this means his hot streak is over.



    7. 7

      Just because "Public Enemies" isn't getting great reviews does not mean his hot streak is over. I've seen the movie. The biggest complaint I had was that it wasn't very historically accurate, but both Depp and Bale's performances in the movie are phenomenal.



    8. 8

      Really? You get that it's critically panned because E Online says so? Funny but I've read a LOT of incredible reviews from more credible sources.

      Oh and awesome how in US magazine this week every celebrity and the magazine agreed that you got what was coming to you with the Peas manager. Apparently everyone is sick of you being a bitch(especially about teenage girls) and then crying like a baby when someone cuts you down for it.



    9. 9

      This movie sounds like the "perfect" copy of the one Vincet Cassel did lately this year…Cassel is really good, i watched the film in french…Johnny is good as well, but somethimes he falls…



    10. 10

      It looks good, who cares what the critics say? I'm not a sheep, I make my own opinions.



    11. 11

      Well my whole point of seeing that Movie is b/c Ole Johnny looks the best EVER in a damn long time. Sexay!!!



    12. 12

      E Online? I don't think they qualify. Still going to see it tonight. :) Transformers was panned, too but I LOVED LOVED it! So, the critics can suck it.



    13. 13

      I'm not really a fan of johnny but I love Marion cotillard so i'll see it.



    14. 14

      Who cares what the critics say. I still wanna see it. I LOVE Johnny Depp ;-)



    15. 15

      Um, hardly. MANY good reviews. Do some research. Slow news day??



    16. 16

      You really need help. Both THE NEW YORK TIMES and ROLLING STONE gave the movie rave reviews. Do your research.



    17. 17

      Re: Guinevere

      Really? What did they say? That's hilarious!



    18. 18

      i dont care what they have to say, Johnny is amazing in every movie, its so true. so this wont be any different



    19. 19

      Who cares if it got "panned"? (Although given your past judgment of "Alpha Dog" it's clear you wouldn't know a good movie if it was staring you right in the face) Johnny Depp is allowed to have one bad movie every few years. Besides even if the critics didn't like it it doesn't mean the viewers will think the same (unless they follow your every command). I'd still check it out…although I am holding out for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (that movie looks like its gonna be awesome!!!)



    20. 20

      Wow! They really bitch-slapped that film. I'm still going to see it. Depp and Bale are amazing actors.



    21. 21

      Re: PerezLoveChild – 4 You said it! Love the LA Times!

    22. ele3 says – reply to this


      22

      I saw a preview of the film and loved every minute of it. Letterman was right - it has great shoot out scenes. In addition, not being American; I couldn't care less about the little facts/details surrounding Dillingers' rise to fame as a bank robber; the escape scene is also amazing and Johnny Depp is still as gorgeous as ever! Better than a transformers movie any day (Shia = blurgh!)



    23. 23

      This is one bad review out of a hell of a lot of good ones. E! online isn't exactly the most credible film critic. Try Empire magazine or Rolling Stone…Empire gave it 5 stars, and who really cares what some boring old film critic thinks?? Johnny Depp is a huge star and will probably draw in huge crowds for this film, i cant wait to see it!!!



    24. 24

      .
      Depends on how much money it makes.
      Perez. how can you say "his hot streak is over" until
      box office receipts are counted?



    25. 25

      Johnny Depp movies have hardly ever been hits with the critics, but the fans love him and he is a brilliant actor–that's all that matters.



    26. 26

      metacritic has this movie's average rating at a 70. I like how you pick one article on any given subject to support whatever you personally think or want to believe

      To everyone: keep in mind, this is the man who was bored by The Dark Knight



    27. 27

      I would like to think that you may have learned something with the BEP debarcle, but obviously, slamming people is your only talent.



    28. 28

      Oh, his hot streak will never be over!



    29. 29

      um, the NYT's called it a "grave and beautiful work of art"….



    30. 30

      which review? All the ones I have read said the movie is a MUST-SEE of the summer.



    31. 31

      And I'm right again, the Johnny Depp fangirls get mad. i just saw this film, Johnny wasn't even good. He gave his laziest performance of his career and he's given a lot of lazy performances like Sweeney Todd and Finding Neverland. He was a great actor in the 90's but not so much anymore besides the 1st Pirates.. Billy Crudup and Marion Cotillard were amazing in this. Bale was okay.



    32. 32

      The critics are fucking morons. Transformers proved that. As did hundreds of other films that were trashed by critics and did VERY well.



    33. 33

      johnny depp is fuckin hot i still wanna see that movie!



    34. 34

      nooooo! i'm seeing that tomorrow, i was so looking forward to it



    35. 35

      Come on Perez, there are way more good reviews than bad. So one critic didn't like it. Big f-ing deal.



    36. 36

      his hot streak will never be over!



    37. 37

      Johnny Depp If F-ing Amazing Idk bout his new movie but im sure he was an amazing actor in it, besides its not like the movie sucks just cuz johnny depp is in it. thats prolly the directors fault. therefore johnny depp's hot streak is not over.



    38. 38

      Sweetheat your hot streak is over count on it . . .



    39. 39

      Re: PerezLoveChild – You are SO right. Most reviews are fantastic. Yahoo's critique isn't prestigious enough for perez to declare that depp's career has taken a hit with Public Enemies. Get a clue!



    40. 40

      I like how you say a movie is getting bad reviews based on the ONE you read. Besides, I'm still going to see it. It's Johnny Depp!



    41. 41

      critics always say its bad - the movie looks like it'll be great. if anything will be lacking it will be cause of Bale not Depp.



    42. 42

      Meh, it's getting mixed reviews, but since when has anyone gone to e! online for movie reviews, that's like asking you for music reviews. i trust people like roger ebert, and he gave the movie 3 1/2 stars out of 4.



    43. 43

      Are you really gonna trust Yahoo? Seriously. That's the first bad review I've read. NY Times, Newsweek AND The New Yorker all loved and I'm sorry but I think they're a little more reputable. Also Public Enemies is considered an art film and I doubt the writer at Yahoo appreciates something on that taste level.



    44. 44

      I JUST watched this movie and thought it was absolutely friggen amazing!
      I'd watch it again in a heartbeat! Was on the edge of my seat the whole movie, the emotion was great, the action scenes were full force and the ending left you not wanting to leave your seat. These over analytical reviews don't always represent the truth nor the audiences opinions, obviously!



    45. 45

      you are so stupid Perez. USAtoday and other major media has reviewed this as a solid performance and home run for Depp. THey say finally someone got this character right.



    46. 46

      Re: pyrateprincess – How wasn't it historically accurate??

      It was filmed a few minutes from me. well a large part was .. at little bohemia.. which is the EXACT SAME location that the shootout occurred.. the bullet holes and john dillingers belongings are still there in his room which has been preserved.. cant get more accurate that filing with john dillingers actual items in his actual room . in the exact location where a pivotal part of the story happened.



    47. 47

      are u fucking stupid? it's been getting good reviews.

      go and watch ice age, i'm sure that's all your tiny brain can handle.



    48. 48

      ohhhh and you picked a review from e news??? yeah. fuck that.



    49. 49

      is this the only review you have read????

      you need to start reading your comments on these things.

      you are seriously out of the loop!



    50. 50

      I see your back to pissing off the Depp Fans again…Really are you that bored?



    51. 51

      *
      Perez, you stupid, lazy, little black eyed pig, at least cut and paste from a better film critic source than E Online. You are sucking bilge water with this one.
      *
      Here's my review: ***1/2 out of **** A must see film for this summer.
      *



    52. 52

      Sorry Perez, I love you but I've to call BS on this…this is the only bad review of this movie…and regardless Johnny Depp besides being geourgeous is a good actor so I doubt it…and please Christian Bale may not be the nicest person but he is a heck of an actor…



    53. 53

      Critic consensus via RT: 60% positive, Metacritic: 71/100% average.
      It hasn't been critically panned. Transformers; now that you could call panned.



    54. 54

      good…i am soooo not a johnny depp fan…and i know i am probably the only one in america NOT a fan, but WTF is up with every woman thinking he is so sexy when he is NOT! everyone just jumps on the current bandwagon! blech…



    55. 55

      it is a really truly horrible piece of shit.
      and, yes, i am a johnny depp fan, a michael mann fan, and a fan of several of the cast. holy god is it bad, though.



    56. 56

      Once again, Perez, you show what a dumb fuck you are. I like how you look at one review and assume all the critics hate it. Have you ever heard of rottentomatoes.com? Check it out and you'll see that Public Enemies so far has 61% POSITIVE reviews. You wrote the same shit a week ago about Bruno getting negative reviews and it has 85% positive reviews. Proof once again that you're nothing but a negative little fa&&ot. And I only use that word now because you brought it into the mainstream by calling will.i.am that right before his manager punched your stupid face. Did your eye stop "bleeeeeeding" yet you little baby bitch? Does baby need a new stuffed animal to play with? Idiot. I hate you.



    57. 57

      Did you even read that Perez? It says that Depp was amazing and made everyone else look good, but if Depp wasn't in it it would suck. Read shit before you post it. Johnny strikes again!



    58. 58

      It actually got a good review in San Francisco by a guy who doesn't like anything!



    59. 59

      You keep saying that movies are getting these bad reviews when your only background is always, like, one half-ass site. READ ACTUAL NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES. This movie was very well reviewed in actually credible newspapers and mags, Perez. Same with Bruno which apparently got "terrible" reviews, too. Do some research, dude. Seriously.



    60. 60

      um wasn't it over after that one with leo back in the 90s? after that, he's played the same character in different costumes



    61. 61

      Jealous much ??
      Couldn't make it as an actor so you're bashing JD now ?!!

      Step away from your laptop and go get a life!



    62. 62

      I saw the Movie Ya'll and It's Reeeeeeeeeally Good…..Don't beleive the Hype! Go watch it for yourself!! Peace



    63. 63

      Well, considering the New York Times raved about it… and you're review is from yahoo… Well…. I think I'd rather take the advice of a reputable reviewer, thanks.



    64. 64

      SAW IT LAST NIGHT AND THOUGHT IT WAS TYPICAL JOHNNY. HE DID AN AMAZING JOB! VERY EMOTIONAL. MAKES YOU HATE CHRISTIAN BALE WHICH IS NOT TOO HARD THESE DAYS.



    65. 65

      this movie was so bad i almost fell asleep during it…it could have been so much better, such a disappointment!



    66. 66

      Nikki Finke is reporting that Public Enemies took in $8 million on Wednesday, in third place behind Ice Age and T2.



    67. 67

      wat an asshole. tell me when a real critic comes in and not someone from fucking yahoo!!!



    68. 68

      who cares? it's johnny depp!!!



    69. 69

      Roger Ebert gave it 3 1/2 stars and two thumbs up!! He doesn't give those out freely. ;)



    70. 70

      JOHNNY DEPP HASN'T DEEN COOL SINCE JUMP STREET…….



    71. 71

      who cares about what some critic says on yahoo, they dont get to tell us what movies we like.. i make my own opinion, and johnny depp is like the best actor i know and i cant wait to see this movie. yahoo's just full of crap, im not not going to see a movie because they say its bad, or go see one because they say its good ?



    72. 72

      Critics Suck!! Its a good thing that people have a right to choose what they want to do and see. Johnny depp fans wont care if its good or bad they will see it cause he's in it and they will also see Alice In Wonderland when it comes out cause he's in it. so Fans of Johnny will remain until the end of time!!



    73. 73

      He is still a completely yummy and talented actor who is actually a nice guy too. Love him. Always will.



    74. 74

      YOU PICK THE ONE EFFING REVIEW THAT WAS BAD!!???!! THAT REVIEWER IS AN AMATEUR WHO SHOULD BE DOING OBITS FOR THE ENQUIRER. SHE IS A HACK WHO CAN'T WRITE TO SAVE HER LIFE. HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED SEE ANYTHING BEYOND HER ONE DIMENSIONAL MINDSET. QUALITY IS ALWAYS LOST ON PEOPLE LIKE HER. EONLINE HAS BEEN MADE TO LOOK THE FOOLS ALLOWING THIS REVIEW TO BE RELEASED IN THIER NAME. THE MOVIE IS PHENOMENOL AND WILL BECOME A CLASSIC! IF YOU DON'T SEE IT BECAUSE OF THIS REVIEW, IT'S ONLY YOUR LOSS.
      JOHNNY DEPP'S BEST PERFORMANCE, CHRISTIAN BALE WAS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD AND HAD PURVIS' PERSONALITY DOWN PAT. BEST ACTION MOVIE FOR AWHILE.



    75. 75

      Still want to watch it so bad.
      I've always been interest in John Dillinger's life.
