I actually think she's underrated. She was great in I, Tonya and Mary, Queen of Scots.

I agree. I actually think her attractiveness hurts her here, much like it did(and still somewhat does) Charlize Theron. They are both so stunningly hot that it’s hard for audiences to not be constantly aware of it and let them dissolve into a character.

This is a good move for her imo. It will increase her profile and make her so much money that she will be able to take on other artsy projects that let her really act. I do agree that she needs to leverage her attractiveness while she can, and I think she is. She wouldn’t have signed this POtC deal without looking like she does. And I doubt she’ll be bundled up showing no skin whatsoever and made to look like Eileen Wuornos. She’ll be plenty hot enough.
