tiresome but stylistic

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2008)

ANOTHER depp/burton collaboration? terrible performance from depp, and isn't it strange that he has to lisp when he fakes the accent? accent was terrible too, very badly done. that aside, there was no development of depp's character, (or any of the others for that matter). wooden performance with typical johnny-esquire delivery that can be seen in all his recent movies.
helena was pretty good and a lot more natural than depp although her singing is awful. sacha cohen was the best and the scenes he were in were the only times i laughed but only a little. not to mention the soundtrack is atrocious.
terrible acting aside, the set is good with stylised portrayal of gore and violence which is the only thing that will keep you from falling asleep.
