As good as I thought it would be!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 1999)

First of all, I've been waiting for this movie since the first trailer came out in July. And when I saw the banners say Tim Burton film, starring Johnny Depp, and music by Danny Elfman, I knew this would be worth waiting for. Obviously, I saw it on opening day, and was in anticipation until the Paramount sign came on. When it was all over, I thought it was great!! The acting by all the cast, especially Johnny Depp, were great. Another obvious remark, but Danny Elfman's music was superb. In >fact, I bought the sound track before I saw the movie. The special effects were very realistic. The decapitations were gruesome, but awesome! And of course, the directing by Tim Burton was all I thought it'd be, and this movie will become a classic for sure. However, there is one complaint. You'll probably disagree with me, but this movie COULD HAVE BEEN PG-13. There were bloody, and gore-filled scenes, but it was almost in a kiddie kind of violence. Except for one part that was unnecssary, but it wasn't disturbing.
