An Instant Burton Classic

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2020)

A Tim Burton masterpiece. This was one of my first introductions into the movie musicals. A great retelling of a Victorian-era tale.
Loved the acting, dedication to the original legend, and story. Acting and character development held strong in this movie. One of the few films where I understand and emphasize which each character.
Actors did an amazing job. Ending resonated with me far after the end credits.
Murder scenes were a bit overdone and bloody. Felt queasy at times but enjoyed Burton's mastery of color. Red blood contrasted sharply from the black and grey palette of the entire movie.
4.5/5. This made it on my list of favorites. Enjoyable and a must watch for musical lovers. Only hope y'all have a strong stomach.
