I gave it a 1 because there was no negative numbers allowed.

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2005)

This movie only got a "1" because I was unable to give it a "0." It is the worst piece of garbage that I have had the mis-pleasure of viewing. I only went because my son loved the book and the original and whined about seeing the new version. Though it has been said before, Depp gave "the performance of his life" playing Michael Jackson. This sick, psychotic piece of drivel should never be released on DVD or video and should be banned from this country. Though they say it is not a remake of the original film be a different interpretation of the book, it is neither. It is Tim Burton once again attempting to entertain us with his sick and demented views of life. He ruined Batman and now had taken to destroying another classic. How much blather will he be allowed to make? How soon will the worst filmmaker of his time make a movie with the worst actor and actress (Madonna and Keanu Reeves), scripted by the worst film writer (Stephen King)? Don't waste your time.
