Better than expected

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2005)

I have to say, when I went to see this movie, I didn't expect it to be that great. After seeing the first teasers & trailers, I found it bad in poor taste. The last trailer I saw seemed a little different. While watching the movie you will find Johnny Depp (as usual) gets in on his role. The setting of this movie is strange. I like how they kept to the book, but they placed a modern edge on this. Giving the feeling of back then, but adding modern day items without over doing them. There is a few scenes that would give an adult viewer a different message with humor, but to a child this may not be understood! I would recommend this for all ages, but younger children may need some guidance.
