almost as good as the original.
many shades of grey.
it starts off kind of slow, but once you get into the feel of a tv soap-opera with the characters and plot, its all fun from there on. tim burton does not disappoint with his amazing use of effects and make-up, and as always, his devotion to johnny depp and helena bonham carter brings the level of enjoyment in this movie up to non-stop fun for anyone!
a lot of it just wasn't funny to me, and wasn't sure what the purpose was if i wasn't laughing.
i'm a devoted tim burton, johnny depp, and danny elfman fan, so this review is highly subjective. i've been waiting for this movie for a year, and i wasn't disappointed. it was a slightly slower pace than i expected, but i was fine with that. i'm also a little familiar with tv series it was based on, so that helped situate the characters and plot somewhat. the makeup, costumes, and cinematic shots were fabulous. i'll be buying this as soon as it comes out on dvd.
i watched the series of this show as a kid....
this movie was a waste of money.
i enjoyed this movie...i watched the soap opera of it many years ago....
i always enjoy any movie with johnny depp in it because he's such a versatile actor.
i found it commical in a very dark manner, well done acting on all the actors and actresses involved in the film. it did remind me of the monsters television series from when i was younger. it was a pleasant surprise and i enjoyed it very much.
