Rather disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2010)

Just came back from watching it at the Cinema right now. I feel rather empty. Offers nothing we know not of all ready. It all happens way too fast. A very spoon feeding adaptation, a thing I would have expected Tim Burton to overcome. All the obvious cute clichés, particularly the obvious Gothic ones to flush down the toilet by now, I was hoping for a refreshing approach. Was like a new school overly colorful cartoon. All them special effects make not the recipe to a good movie. I hate films with predictable outcomes. I guess Johnny Depp was OK, certainly not the role of his lifetime. Best thing I could say about the film is the size of the queen's head, bringing out the "Off with their heads" as but a projection of her own insecurities....but that's about it. Shame.
