For you Tim, I will even watch a musical (but don't push your luck too much)

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2010)

Oh Tim, Tim, Tim! What the hell were you thinking about when you decided to do a musical? I loved your images, as usual. No disappointment here. I loved your favourite actor too, as usual too. I love the concept itself of mocking musicals by making them gore (though it's not your original idea so I can't even attribute this to you). But listening to it being applied, what a pain! I acknowledge that Johnny Depp is good singer. The talent of any of your actors is the issue. It's just a pain because musical-style songs are boring. Almost always the same melody and it's the one which predominates here. So damned boring melody I couldn't listen to it and hence missed half the lines. And in fact, I am not even sure your intention was to mock musicals. But don't worry Tim, I still love you. Visually it was a pleasure. And this tale about the blindness of revenge is good by itself, black as I like. I am sure you could have done a great job of it without songs, but I will put this error on a need to explore. I just hope it will be the only Tim Burton I will never watch again.
