A bad movie with a big budget to cover up its flaws.

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2013)

If it wasn't for the obviously enormous budget that went into hiring stars and starlets as well as the CGI efforts and special effects (which by the way look idiotic at some points), this movie would be categorized as a B-Movie at best.
The story is flat and uninspiring (bad witch curses everyone, yaaaawn!) and flat out predictable. The end doesn't make any sense at all and seems completely rushed.
Seeing Johnny Depp as yet again another make-up-overloaded "weirdo character" gets boring by now as well and all of the other actors except for Eva Green seem to not give it their best at all. The acting is laughably corny in a lot of the scenes.
This movie tries sooooooo hard to be funny it is painful at times and rarely successful. The obvious product placements throughout the story are annoying as well.
3/10, unwatchable disappointment and a waste of time.
