Wonderful waste of talent

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2010)

Okay... there's a Tim Burton film that I'll be walking into. The theatre's packed and everyone's got really high expectations. I, being a huge Burton fan (who's seen all his movies, most of them more than once and also liked and understood them), was expecting this one to be epic, given the talent attached to it (c'mon, how can you go wrong with a starcast of Depp, Bonham Carter, Hathaway and Crispin Glover being helmed by Tim Burton, the greatest creative mind in Hollywood). What I got was about an hour and forty minutes of crap. And I don't blame Burton or the actors for it; I blame the SCRIPTWRITER and the PRODUCERS (read Disney, godknowswhat they're gonna do with Marvel). Well, here's what I liked about the movie : THE GOOD 1. Great performances from the star cast 2. Great visuals (as expected from a Burton movie) 3. Amazing music. Maybe its the best part of the whole movie, or maybe I'm a Danny Elfman geek.
Here's what made the evening hell for me : 1. Waste of talent 2. The script. The script totally KILLED the movie.
