He makes a business money, so he is worth money to them, hence they pay him lots. Good on him! Should he say "No! Pay me less, and keep that money for yourself. Distribute it to the shareholders, horaaay.". It's simple business, they are paying him to be in the movie because he makes them more money. If you are offended that he is so much more successful than you, don't buy a ticket and feed him cash. Anyone would think he was a fraudster stealing pensions from disabled war veterans the way you pathetic left wing morons go on.

Not only that, Johnny really invented that character. Does anyone remember how Disney execs hated his potrayal of Cpt Sparrow when they were shooting the first movie? They thought it would never work and the Depp's performance was off. But then they saw how the people loved it and that Depp was right. So he solely made that character and therefore should get due credit. Is 75 million insane? Yes, it is... but so it 1.2 billion worldwide. And do you think all that money just ends up in a big piggie bank? No, people get rich of these ventures. So Depp should be able to share in the wealth. But yes, it is crazy. I think he would agree. But would he be such a bad steward of the money, compared to a business exec? I don't think so. Maybe we'll see some charity stuff coming out of Johnny now that he can feel completely financially secure. Remember, Johnny, it is not vanity to help other people who are starving and dying ;) The only question in this case is: would you rather Johnny get the money, or some executive you never heard of?

He is receiving it because he's worth it and everyone know's it. With respect to the people who say that his movies have gotten worse as time has went along, the turn out of the public at the movie theatre's do not support their opinion and thank God for it. No, I do not believe he is God as one person stated. But, if he can negotitate a contract for that amount minus whatever his agent gets and the IRS, I say all the more power to him. This is the way of our free enterprise system -- supply and demand! They would not have offer him it unless they knew beyond a doubt he was worth it. I have always felt that Johnny Depp was made you might say to play "Captain Jack Sparrow." And when people have problems with that to a large degree it's jealousy on their part. Just to let you know that I am not wealthy, I am disabled and barely making it. But I do not think that anyone who is worth a wage should be denied it whether it's a basketball player or an actor or what have you. He's that good at what he does, and if you can do as well then you would be getting the same sort of check. He's getting it is because he's earning it! For those who don't agree let them show their stuff and prove that they can even come close to his performance as Captain Jack. MGM.

Let's be honest: who in this world (Johnny Depp or else) would refuse such a paycheck? I wouldn't for sure, and I'm sure noone else would, so let's stop being hypocrites, critizing and shouting "Oh it's outrageous!" because it's not. And if Disney is willing to pay him that much, it's because they know they'll get 20 times as much money back, thanks to his only performance (as many said earlier, the only reason why all 3 Pirate movies have made so much money is Captain Sparrow. No Depp in that franchise, no success!). If someone has to be criticised here, it's not Depp (for being paid $75 million) or Disney (for paying $75 million for an actor) , it's only us, the stupid people, consumers who go watch the movie, buy the merchandising, and ultimately pay Depp's and Disney's salaries... $75 million is a LOT of money, but well… if Disney is willing to pay him that amount of money, then good for him!

I am just a bit upset that Orlando and Kiera won't be in the next sequel. I am hoping they will appear in more upcoming sequels though. The movie is entertainment. Depp plays a loveable character and I cannot see anyone playing that part but him. Yes $75 million is a lot of dough, but if Disney wants to keep him in the sequels (which I believe is what keeps people coming back) then that is what they will pay him. I probably would not see anymore of the pirate movies if he were not in them. It will be hard enough with Orlando and Kiera gone. I have personally enjoyed every single installment of Pirates and look forward to as many as Disney wants to make. I absolutely LOVED all the Pirate installments.
