I've read various reviews for this movie, half being positive and half being naegative. Some claim that it's one of the best films of the 1990's, while others see it as pretentious and boring. Still others say that Jarmusch failed to really make a point with the film. I tend to agree with the positive reviews. The acting was superb (Depp and Farmer in particular). The supporting cast was also excellent. Robert Mitchum, in his last film, also proved that he was a superb actor. Jarmusch did an excellent job with his interpretation of the American west in a way that is far more precise than the usual Hollywood films evoke. I would recommend it highly.

I loved the plot, music score, acting, comedy and the satire. There was something in this film for everyone. So many wonderful actors in supporting roles in one film was delightful This is definitely one of the best films of all time.

Dead Man Johnny Depp DVDReview created: 10/07/09

) I pretty much like any movie that Johnny Depp makes but this one was so bad, it was difficult to get all the way through it. No wonder I haven't ever heard anything about this Johnny Depp movie.

Odd MovieReview created: 04/09/09
by:
) Really like Johnny Depp so I decided to buy this movie. Horrible movie. I actually watched the entire thing trying to see if it would ever make sense but it never happened. Threw it in the trashcan afterwards.

Dead Man: UnderratedI saw this movie once about six years ago when it was recommended and sent to us by Netflix. I was 13 at the time, so I didn't understand it that well, but I still liked it enough to remember it and pay around $10 shipped for it. Neil Young does the soundtrack, which has to be one of my favorites, as I am a huge grunge fan. "Dead Man" is filmed in black and white, which gives you a better sense of the time period (late 1800s). This is a very weird movie, as there are some strange plot twists, but don't let that deter your interest.

This is one of my favorite movies! I can't believe more people don't know about this movie! It is quirky and very artistically done with a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing. The characterization is really colorful and there are surprisingly a lot of well known celebrities in this movie!

Highly recommended for all dvd collections!Review created: 09/14/08
by:
Utterly unrivaled character development, accompanied by a slower yet flowing, highly-entertaining, well planned plot. Amazing soundtrack ties it all together beautifully. I don't write reviews but I felt no one should happen to pass this one up for whatever self-justified reason. I watch this movie over and over and still pick up on hilarious ironies. "Burns like hellfire!!"

Gritty realism of the real old westReview created: 08/07/08

If you like Indie films you will like this one. Johnny Depp is very good as William Blake. A man who leaves Cleveland to go out west on the promise of a job waiting for him. Unfortunatly the position is already filled leaving Blake to stumble into a destiny that apparently was there waiting for him to fill. One of my favorite Depp films.

Dead Man (2000, DVD)Review created: 07/22/08

Johnny Depp again at his best....takes on the role of Ed Wood. Love the Black and White film. I bought the movie to add to my daughter's Johnny Depp collection of movies! We are both big fans. He never fails to deliver a great performance. His choices of movies are great. He does not fit the mold but breaks it every time!

What a way to start over...Review created: 07/19/08
by:
This is an interesting legend, a somewhat confusing at times mystery which will make you laugh or make you sad, although you must watch it completely from start to finish otherwise you will be totally confused. Johnny Depp was the main character in this black and white masterpiece, with co stars like Billy Bob Thorton,Gary Farmer and Crispin Glover. This movie you either love or you will hate, its worth a try none the less..

Great Surreal WesternReview created: 04/11/08(updated 10/15/08)
by:
This is a movie that you will either love or hate. It has a little bit of a surreal feel to it with the Neil Young music and the black and white effect. Buy this movie if you like symbolic characters or movies that you have to give some thought to the theme and underlying meanings of the actions of the characters. If you like such movies I highly recommend it. Just the contrast of the electric Neil Young guitar against a western was enough for me to enjoy the movie.

Dead Man is excellentThe most eclectic western I have ever seen.
A mix of some of the strangest characters even for a Depp movie.
A great cast of actors, all well suited for thier parts.

Dead Man with Johnny DeppThis movie brings you immediately back in time when buffalo was still running wild, and plenty of them.
Johnny Depp, as usual, was excellent in the movie...learning how to adapt to the land that he had moved to from a city, and Gary Farmer was awesome as the Indian who thinks that Johnny is a famous poet named William Blake, which just happened to be Johnny's name.
I loved the way it was shot in black and white, and the wilderness that they traveled through. Without telling all, this is truly a fantastic movie.
I have previously rented it 2-3 times, and decided to buy it ..i can watch it over and over again!

"MUST SEE" film1st off, I do NOT recommend that you read any review that outlines or tells the story! Enter this one like a child, so as to experience without preconceptions of what is to come. Give it some "quiet" time so as not to be distracted. If viewing w/ spouse or friend, do not discuss it - hold that for later. Do not think ahead - just allow the movie to unfold at it's own beautifully paced self. Permit the gorgeously stark B & W images to soak in. Listen to the sometimes cryptic dialog - you will be amazed how much you will later be able to recall w/ uncanny clarity. Also listen to the soundtrack - I cannot believe it could be more perfectly suited to the subject, images and storyline. In a nutshell - just savor the journey along with William Blake.
I RARELY watch a film more than 1X. Maybe 2X if it's really good, and usually at minimum 1 or more year(s) later. I rented the DVD & viewed 2X in 3 days. Then a week later, went out to buy the DVD & viewed a 3rd X. Now I'm viewing the special features (which I normally never do), and as I find a little extra time, I find myself viewing the various individual chapters - over & even over again. Frankly, it's a little wierd that I find myself so captivated by this film - like the movie itself, it's sort of mysterious.
