Musical for musical haters

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2008)

Let me start of by stating that I hate musicals,simply hate them. I have seen maybe 7-8 in my life and didn't like one of them. Simply put when actors suddenly burst into singing I feel the urge to do something else with my time.With this in mind I still had to see this Burton-Depp collaboration, although their last effort,that chocolate factory movie, was terrible. As it turned out I was happy that I gave this a chance because it is a very good film, a strange mix of musical, horror and comedy, but it works. Depp is good as he usually is,Burton delivers his style with taste, hell even the songs worked for me,most of the time.Supporting cast does a great job,Alan Rickman especially. Check it out, you will not regret it.
