Did Burton have a flue?

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2008)

A nice marketing operation, people congratulating each other, medias and critics hammering that it's a good movie. When you ask people how the movie is, they'll automatically answer with a robot voice "yes, good mo-vie".
Daring to consider it from an independent point of view, I can only give two points. One for the costumes&decors. And another one for a 2min piece of song that I found acceptable.
The whole musical work is empty and artificial. It's noise disguised into music. The actors are not convincing (and don't look convinced themselves), the story is empty, the sights are always short-ranged, by all means. The whole movie lacks intelligence.
Honestly, when I saw the movie, I thought that T.Burton was having a flue during the realization.
But this is not a problem, I stopped the movie halfway so I didn't loose too much time on it. What concerns me, is that all of you people seem to agree that it is a hugely great movie, and although I did read your posts, I very much think that the marketing worked on you... This movie is empty, fake and artificial.
