Terrific entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2013)

Sit back, relax and enjoy is what I say. Too many people have dissected this film and compared it to the series. Now I know diddly squat about the books or the series so just watched it. Tim Burton puts his own unique stamp on things so visually it is stunning with excellent use of light creating a mood and atmosphere. The film moves along at a nice pace with excellent performances from, Green, Depp and Pfeiffer who keep the dry sense of humour coming thick and fast. The storyline is slick and doesn't hang around so this makes for an enjoyable 2 hours. A lot of people have crabbed this film but just take it for what it is and enjoy it. 10 out of 10 for me.
