Awful

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2006)

This movie missed the mark in almost every respect. It was dull and uninspired. The worst job I have ever seen Depp do with a character. It was not consistent at all - it was rather a mish-mash of different inspirations and lacked any sense of continuity. This entire project lacked the spark that the original had in any way, shape, or form. waste of time, film and effort. Even Elfman fell flat this time with the musical score - miles of bad road all around for everyone. There is nearly nothing good to say about this film - interesting to see some of the background of the Charlie character although that was rather twisted in the hands of Burton as well.
