It is hard to be disappointed in this movie, and I truly enjoyed nearly every moment of it.

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 1999)

I was a bit surprised when I finally managed to see this film. The special effects were incredibly real, and Tim Burton's ability to direct truly shines. The music, mood, acting, and scenes are all excellent, with a plot that is surprising and entertaining.
Johnny Depp's performance was good, and thankfully the cast of characters and other performances coupled well so that nobody shone over anybody else. The characters were well thought out. Being based on an older legend, I was fearful that I would be watching a drawn out and cliche-ridden story. Of course they altered the original tale a little, but you will find yourself delightfully surprised, laughing, screaming, and cheering throughout the screenplay.
The music was incredible, and the special effects - not only on the characters - but in the scenes portrays the mood perfectly. It is hard to be disappointed in this movie, and I truly enjoyed nearly every moment of it.
