I feel like it can either be an absolute classic or a bust. I'm not Depp's biggest fan just because he plays some weird characters that I just can't get into. But when he plays more serious roles(donnie brasco, blow) then he is great. I haven't seen too much buzz around the movie though as opposed to let's say Star Wars or the Revenant with Leo DiCaprio. Then again nobody has seen a second of either 3 movies so that can change. If black mass really is good enough then it'll get some nominations and recognition for being great. The directer is scott Cooper I think. So hopefully he directed the movie of his life. I'm really anticipating it. I need to see a trailer already though.
