It would be a nice film if it wasn't so musical!

Rating: 4/10 (3 February 2008)

This new movie directed by Tim Burton would be a nice film if it wasn't connected to the musical genre! The plot is good, the cinematography is excellent (as always happens in Tim Burton's films) but this thing of putting a song in almost every dialog of the movie is quite annoying! Irritating at parts! I saw MOULIN ROUGE and I liked it because I think the songs and the melodic dialogs are perfectly connected with the scenario and the plot of the movie, but in this case it has no connection! They just sing what they are saying, sometimes even without any musical sense or even harmony In my point of view it really puts this film down! I will score it with a few points just because of the plot and the good cinematography! It's a 4/10.
