Since the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie I wouldn't say Depp is underrated. He gets as much recognition now as anyone could.
And since POTC what, 3 Best Actor Oscar nominations?
You know I like how many of the major movie stars now are also great actors, and not a Will Smith or Tom Cruise (in 1990s) occupied with doing dumb insulting popcorn.
I'm talking about Depp, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Leo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe*, Robert Downey Jr., and so forth (though those are who came to mind.)
*=Though with his last few movies' performance, maybe his star power will start to degrade.
