Only for Tim Burton fanatics

Rating: 2/10 (12 September 2016)

The story is so banal and predictable, that for over half of the characters you know how what was their past, the moment the show up on screen and says just a few lines. You also often instantly know how they are gonna end up and that you are watching the particular scene in which they will die. This movie has illogical events and simply stupid behavior of individuals. As for the music, it is as if it was written by some Hollywood composer at least 30 years ago. And Johnny Deep instead of acting, under the Tim Burton's weak direction delivers this display of severe case of face paralysis. And yet, some real movie Experts from US Of A wanted to give him an Oscar, apparently for that screaming / howling of his; but fortunately, they settled him only with an totally unearned Golden Globe
If it was not for the good showcase of London of the nineteenth century, this almost absolutely boring musical would have earned the 1/10 rating
