If you happen to remember my review from a couple of months ago you'll know that I liked it quite a bit myself.

I didn't love this movie as much as so many other people have, but I can definitely say it's one of Burton's better attempts at making a happy, and very original story. Other times though, he just loses himself in being weird, just for the sake of being weird. As was the case with Dark Shadows.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-6054254325070714522012-05-30T17:20:52.537+01:002012-05-30T17:20:52.537+01:00So glad you liked this one!

I lvoed the casting - how perfect that one of the most beautiful young actresses Alison Lohman's character was played by one of the most beautiful from previous generation - Jessica Lange. I adored HBC's work here and her subplot was heartbreaking. the only flaw for me was that if Burton's movie ever needed Depp it was here. McGregor's silly grin annoyed the hell out of me.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-75838743340165186362012-05-30T10:05:58.856+01:002012-05-30T10:05:58.856+01:00This film is an absolute favourite of mine.

It's really one of those films that transcended the screen and became a part of my life.<br /><br />McGregor is just amazing in this film. I love how it looks and all the other actors and characters. Also Burton did wonders with the story. I have read the book and it isn't remotely as brilliant as the movie.Nikhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379713171889712078noreply@blogger.com
