Hilarious in a Gruesome Way

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2008)

I must say, I've been somewhat underwhelmed by most of Tim Burton's output recently. I just felt that ever since his first couple movies he became too much of a Hollywood director and that his movies spent too much time on their action and happy endings (*cough* Sleepy Hollow*).
Well I have to say that this movie completely exceeded my low expectations.
I'm not into musicals, but I loved this. I felt that the music was a nice touch to all of the gore and the dark humor. This movie is absolutely hilarious in a dark gruesome way.
If you are extremely put off by gore don't see this, but if you don't like musicals give it a shot anyways, it may broaden your horizons.
