serious or comedy?

Rating: 2/10 (14 May 2012)

First off, it's just plain bad. No coherent direction, at times it feels like it's trying to be a comedy, others it tries to be serious, since it never chooses it just falls flat. The staging, costumes, etc were gorgeous. Depp was great as Barnabus, but, the story played out flat.
As for the comedy aspect, what you saw in the trailers was 90% of what was funny in the movie.
Classic failure of Hollywood today, wow you with the trailer, get a big name to lead the film, have gorgeous sets and costumes, set in a beautiful location, in the end it's a stinker.
