Johnny Depp is exploding with craziness but the early fascination fades. Also the scenes are too long which stretches out the hazy feel of the movie. I don't think Terry Gilliam is wild enough in this movie. Gonzo (Del Toro) travel to Las Vegas so Duke can cover a race in the desert. Journalist Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney Dr. Thompson novel, starring Johnny Depp in one of my favorite roles alongside the incredibly funny and whacked out Benicio Del Toro. I hoped the reptile vision is the start of some good visual attempts. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of the Hunter S. The surreal imagery is both ugly and tiring.

The psychedelic protagonist, Raoul Duke, and his attorney, Dr. The movie starts off in bat country, 1971. Johnny Depps performance is a near perfect impersonation of Thompsons character, Raoul Duke.

JOHNNY DEPP IN FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS FULL
There are rooms full of lizards and an overwhelming number of cameos from the likes of Gary Busey, Tim Thomerson, and Harry Dean Stanton, all of them playing generally offbeat, unusual, or just plain odd characters. The entire running time consists of Depp hallucinating and generally acting spaced out as ordinary, everyday situations become hectic fights for survival.
