OK...so lets get it out of the way to start with...its a musical so stop complaining that it was full of singing! If you don't like singing in your movies you will hate this one! I don't mind singing in my movies so it didn't bother me.
As far as being a movie...it was great! It was dark...but also cheesy at times...but again, if you don't like Tim Burton, then you wont like this.
Johnny and Helena were outstanding...but pretty much everyone in the movie was (except maybe Beadle...i found him a bit unconvincing...but thats just me) I've read a lot of reviews about this movie and the opinions seem fairly polarised...people either loved it or hated it. I loved it.
Yes there is gore...yes it is dark...and if you don't like musicals or Tim Burton then this isn't going to change your mind at all.
Good movie
