1 of 2 Movies I've Ever Shut Off

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2008)

Calm down my Gothic emo kids excited that your wannabe cult flick resulted in another poor victim that "just couldn't handle it", there's quite a further reason why: It was terrible.
That's right, this is a 30min review. I'm ignorant, didn't watch the whole thing, don't care to know the ending, and glad to know I wasn't like a prior poster that lost Xmins of their life.
Well, actually, since I can't review it, here's my reasons why I'd convince people to avoid it:
-Burton's little goth thing has lost its appeal. His dead white faces are about as original as Tarantino's plot placements. May as well use black and white film if you're gonna desaturate it that much, but oh, need color for the blood! -The blood looked completely fake. Japanese ninja b-films have better effects. In fact, the dubbed dialog in those films are better too. -Script? I mean lyrics... In fact, in the 30mins I watched, that was around 28-29mins singing, with a 30sec musical interlude between scene changing. Can't say I'm a huge musical fan, but, really? Is constant singing necessary? Oliver! is one of my favorite movies, every song is memorable and fitting, and easy to see a good musical over one of the worst movies I've ever seen. -Ever notice how the only people to recommend this movie are people you'd normally encounter at the local Hot Topic? "Misunderstood people" that only a singing zombie could impress. Scoff the normality of society as you consume Todd's tees, stickers, dolls, and dvds, heh. Seems to be a rarity that an average film lover would enjoy this (let alone feels it earns such a high IMDb rank). Hell, even the followers of the older version have their deeper knit picking against this movie. With such a fine fan base it should be obvious whether or not you'll enjoy this movie.
*Only other movie shut off was King of the Ants, if you've seen either one all the way through, you have earned my respect and an award of many sorts.
