Praise for a very good movie :)

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2002)

From Hell - A great movie for anyone who enjoys a bit of gore and a very creative take on an historical figure ;)
I really enjoyed the level of gore included in this movie - it wasn't too little (as to be expected with this particular story) and it wasn't overboard unrealistic - although there was definitely a fair amount :)
The character development for Depp's character was quite interesting - I really enjoyed the point of view taken throughout the course of the movie. The 'character' of characters (if you know what I mean) was a bit of a surprise to me. In other words, they did a very good job in keeping the suspense!
The creative 'techniques' implemented in the movie (you'll see what I mean :) ) were very cool!
I have to comment on the technical aspects (as they are incredibly important to any and every movie) - excellent! The camera work was fantastic, the special effects, and the music.....well, in the viewing of this movie at the theater I went to we had a bit of a "disturbance" in more than one way while watching - the audio stopped working on the film for some reason in the middle for a couple minutes, yet they continued to show the video, but *chills* they played NSYNC music to replace the actual audio blahhhh!
The actual part of the movie that I saw, however, receives some of my highest praise - I've always enjoyed the original story of the movie and loved their take on it, but there's almost always room for improvement and the ending for me.....it just didn't add to the movie what it could have.
