Only appeals to certain people

Rating: 4/10 (20 January 2011)

I had a weird craving for this movie one night. I didn't know why, but I did. That's what led to me deciding to watch it. At first, I found it okay. With all the singing and the gloomy colors and etc. But after Emily brought Victor down to their world, I lost interest. I stopped watching. It seemed boring to me.
I didn't watch it for several days (2? 3?) until tonight. I forced myself to go through the remaining scenes and I found that I could actually tolerate it. It wasn't captivating, but it was adequate enough. Okay entertainment for a night.
I found this movie dull, bland and boring. I always thought Tim Burton was a genius, but after re-watching this, I found that I didn't really like his style. I understand the appeal his movies have to certain audiences, but it wasn't to my liking at all. Sorry.
However, to be fair, I did like the piano scene between Emily and Victor and all the other songs, though. Except for that creepy one when the underworld is first introduced.
If you're one of those people who likes not-your-ordinary-love-story animation movies, you could give this a try. Maybe. I guess.
