Vote up the worst Johnny Depp movies that are duller than Scissorhands left out in the rain.

Johnny Depp is like a chameleon, being able to play everything from a talentless director with endless optimism (Ed Wood) to, well, a chameleon (Rango). But despite how much drunken swagger and eyeliner he puts on for a role, not every one of his films can be as beloved as his first Jack Sparrow outing. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the following are all the Johnny Depp movies with a “rotten” score, and they range from cash grab sequels (Alice Through the Looking Glass) to one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time (The Lone Ranger).

Which of the following movies are so bad, they're in a “Depp-th” of their own?
