The movie was grea. A bit overhyped, it still didn't disappoint. Johnny Depp was the usual amazing actor and the idea that Helena Carter outdid him is overstated as well. It was a lot of the same thing from her and the same expressions. My only issue was the progression of it. It seemed to move from one thing to the next, to the next without a moment as a watcher to wonder and think about it. It seemed rushed and inevitable. It didn't have those setback moments or anything. The images were absolutely amazing and the fight scenes were hardly epic. If you have amazingly high expectations of this movie, you'll be disappointed. Lower them, don't expect a well told story. The story seems a bit forced.
