My favourite!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2011)

To me personally, a good film requires a great cast, a great thrilling or on-the-edge plot, scenes set out magnificently and overall plays out smoothly and thus leaves the audience only caring for what happens next.
So what do we have here?

An Amazing cast including the best-of-the-best Johnny Depp and the female equivalent Helena Bonham Carter. Its no surprise judging from the cast and the genre that this is a classic Tim Burton at his very best.

An exciting thrilling plot set to keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for more, more, more!!

Scenes full of detail and yet keeping to a dark, contrasting colour scheme (either lighting effects or post-production effects).

A film that plays out smoothly. The songs and the scenes flow into one another so beautifully that I find it very difficult to get bored of it. The songs are so operatic and theatrical, its very talented of the cast to fit it in to a film rather than a play.

One of the best films that I've ever watched and I hope to see more like this! The only complaint I have due to it only getting a 9 out of 10 is that the blood always seems so much lighter than surely it should. It almost seems orangey in scenes, and thus I can't help thinking that Tim Burton would've picked up on this during the filming.
