Expectations Failed

Rating: 1/10 (5 April 2005)

After watching a documentary based on Jack the Ripper in the History Channel made me to check this movie. But what I got was pathetic art film it was just a mediocre adaptation of a comic book.
From Hell (Spoilers******)
20th Century Fox brings the cinematic version of the graphic novel written by Alan Moore. England during 1888 a mysterious killer starts to murder poor prostitutes, for searching him Inspector Abberline (Johnny Depp) was brought to the case. Even after his strict surveillance the killer continues to hunt down more prostitutes. Things went more darker when a young prostitute named Mary Kelly (Heather Graham) enters Abberline's life. Soon Abberline found that each victim was connected and the killer was some one from the Royal Family.
Directed by the Hughes brothers (Allen and Albert) tells the unseen story of the notorious killer Jack the Ripper. I don't know why they treat such hard core theme to a sucking art film. It has no tension, no forcefulness, and no suspense. Or is that because of they feared Alan Moore's creativity, or a NC-17 rating, they cheated all the die hard fans by creating such lame movies based on a Great materials.
I give this movie 1 out of 10.
From Hell = Dull Hell.
