Snoozer

Rating: 4/10 (13 May 2012)

I wanted to like this movie as I am a Tim Burton fan but it was a boring film that was visually well made and well acted but lacked an interesting plot. the actors (especially Johnny Depp were fun to watch, as usual) but didn't have much to work with. It's almost as if there was a great idea for a plot and then everyone got caught up in the costumes, scenery and witty comments, leaving the plot to evolve through the scenes. I was bored about a fourth of the way in. The scenes where there were implied sexual encounters were pointless. I still don't understand being half in with sex. Either put it in and it's an adult movie and we can enjoy it, or leave it out. It doesn't work when it's half done. It's not cute or amusing. I rate a film on a lot of areas but the most important is "would I see it again" and I will not be watching this one again.
