Mindless Fun

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2012)

I love Johnny Depp, his quirkiness makes me laugh. I like Tim Burton's take on things and can enjoy his perspective. This film does not seem to have the charm of either.
Yes it is fun, yes JD has a few quips (all seen in the trailer however), Yes Eva Green is gorgeous. However, I am sorry to say it is quite a boring film that really goes nowhere and has little point to it.
The 70's concept is well captured, the characters are believable. This has been done well, the cinematography is visually appealing. It is by no means a CGI spectacular, nor is it in any way scary or sexy.
If you are a die hard fan, go and see it. If not, wait for the DVD.
