I haven't seen quite a few that I would still like to so I am reserving that "Best" distinction for when I can better make that decision, but yeah... I loved it. I'm glad you gave it a shot. That's about how I thought you would react to it. Thanks for the response.lightyear8https://www.blogger.com/profile/04659605140077223223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17655264.post-27959364793398455292008-01-04T15:18:00.000-08:002008-01-04T15:18:00.000-08:00So I watched this last night, after you gave the "...So I watched this last night, after you gave the "Best Movie of 2007" review. <BR/>I did like it, kinda. Not the best movie of the year in my opinion. I mean, you're putting it up against movies like Ratatouille (which I know you didn't think was the best), the Bourne Ultimatum, 300, The Order of the Phoenix, etc... <BR/>Don't get me wrong, it was a great film in the sense of the word, and I agree with most everything you said. It took a long while for the 'action' to kickoff, but I was still interested. <BR/>And me, I generally love everything Tim Burton touches, and I especially liked the darkness of the movie. However, I think it might have been more successful for me if it wasn't a musical. I think I'm part of the "Fans of Burton" you mentioned. I love musicals too though. I just think it would've been a better told story if it was written as a horror movie, instead of the classical singing. The singing sometimes took away from the moment, and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter aren't the greatest singers even though I still thought they were good. <BR/>So I'd recommend it, with the disclaimer that it just isn't a movie for everyone.Jakrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812402541624722656noreply@blogger.com
