Tim Burton does Classical Greek Tragedy Musical

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2007)

This is the very good film and musical. But it is very bloody (and NOT a family film - It is "R" for a good reason. Keep the kids at home with a sitter for this film). If I had to see this film again, I would probably do so. The noir quality of Tim Burton's film is similar to elements from other movies he has directed.
I am convinced that Johnny Depp can truly do anything after seeing him in this role. The tone of his singing voice is excellent, as were the other performers. No spoilers here; just be prepared for the gore and no happy ending.
If I had any criticism at all, it would be that the advertising trailers do not clearly show it is a musical and I thought the movie ended a bit abruptly.
