I'm not sure who was more responsible for the score, Klaus Badelt or Hans Zimmer (whom I admire greatly). There was a rousing score that contributed highly to the adventuresome spirit. The contribution of music is often over looked by fan and critic alike.
However, I would have to agree whole heartedly with Oscar Jubis on this one. Even Depp's copying of Keith Richards is pretty lame for Depp, who has shined much better in other roles. I do a pretty good Richards myself! Slurrying my English accent! Very silly stuff.... how the Academy considers that one of the best performances of the year just about stretches credulity to the breaking point.
When Rush stepped into the moonlight and turned into a skeleton was the high point of the whole film. Probably why they took that clip and ran it over and over again in commercials and at award ceremonies to death. Jerry got what he wanted, another big ball of cash to create more junk food movies for the masses.
