Better than I remember...

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2004)

So, I saw this movie right when it came out on video which was a couple of years ago (maybe only one), and I remember turning it off after the first thirty minutes, 'cause I thought it was really boring. However, I watched it again today all the way through and really enjoyed it. As bloody as some might think it is, it's really not that bad and I thought it portrayed the 1800s really well.
Johnny Depp is brilliant as usual and you never think of him as Johnny Depp but as the role he's playing. I was surprised by Heather Grahamm just because she's usually playing the ditzy blond, but she was very believable and good in this role.
Jack The Ripper did a fine job, and I'm sure the script stayed true to the book (although I have not yet read it.).
I give the film an 8 out of 10 (10 being the highest). I enjoyed it quite a great deal, but it wasn't the best 'bloody' movie I've ever seen. Get it?
And that's my review.
