The best musical ever!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2008)

Too many songs? yes! and I hoped Sacha Baron would have a larger role (his big break will have to wait)...however it's hard overlook the quality of the movie.
This is an extremely good and well executed revenge story, with great singing and acting...(read more)g by Depp (truly Oscar worthy). The supporting cast was also really good. Though the songs were too many, some were good & essential to express what was going on in the characters' mind and the overall story. Burton was truly in his element with this dark themed drama, and used a terrific score to add to the movie's quality. He is a true artist, never failing to provide stunning imagery to add to the movie's mood.
Overall this is one of the finest movies of 2007. Despite having 95% singing the film is quite engaging; leading us through the darkness towards the unpredictable finale.
