is Johnny Depp playing the same character over and over again?

20. I generally like Johnny Depp's characters

I really liked him in Polanski's the Ninth Gate of several years ago and I thought Edward Scissorhands was truly unique and fun. For me, he was good in From Hell, Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco, and Sleepy Hollow. His more recent stuff, though, isn't quite my cup of tea, although I don't think it's his roles I dislike as much as the films themselves. I can't stand those pirate movies in spite of Depp, I didn't like Willy Wonka, I hated Dark Shadows in spite of Depp, and I refuse to even consider watching the Lone Ranger, not because of him but because I'm sick of Hollywood movies either being remakes of comic books, old TV series, or better but older originals.

I saw an old movie a few nights ago, Nightfall, a great film noir, with Aldo Ray and Brian Keith. Thank God for old movies. I loved them when they were new movies and I love them now.
