This had to be THE worst movie I ever saw, and it was all the more disappointing considering it starred Johnny Depp. Depp's acting was wooden and droll, and the females in the movie all over-acted to compensate. The cinematography was... Full review

This movie's fate bet heavily on Johnny Depp's talent, and hit the jackpot. No other actor of our time could have pulled that role off. While it may lose a little commercial appeal in the red states for not having any... Full review

I think Rosamund Pike should play the main female role here. Samantha Morton just doesn't have the face for a leading role. Yes, talant is important, but don't tell me Pike is worse that Morton. Whatever people say, I think the... Full review

First off let me say that this movie is not for everyone. Viewers will either love it or hate it. If you are expecting a pretty period piece like Pride & Prejudice (and there is nothing wrong with that) this is... Full review

Juvenile, gross, totally disgusting and no class! This is no Three Musketeers with sword fights, chivalry, or elegance, but rather – watch women dance around with fake giant penises. Not even Johnny Depp’s excellent acting skills could save this piece of... Full review

The camera bobs and weaves and ducks and swats and then, just as resolutely, becomes static, standing at a remove from the action, unsure in its resolve in either case of what it wants to represent to the audience or why THE LIBERTINE is not merely bad. ... Full Review

ABC, Australia
While both movies were not perfect, their characters were much more clearly defined and the films more entertaining.....much history explored, and as Wilmot, Depp remains very likable throughout most of the movie....But The Libertine does also have many moments largely due to great actor Depp, who as usual is terrific..... ...

The Libertine follows Wilmot's exploits, up until his exceedingly ugly and noseless death from syphilis at 33. Suddenly, John is suddenly struck by another notion, that he is capable of love. ... Full Review

Depp's skills help carry The Libertine . That ultimately makes The Libertine a dull experience and a disappointment. Unfortunately, not much else about The Libertine manages to sustain our attention. ... Full Review
