Actually, it was better than I expected. I started to skip it, because I like Depp okay, but I'm not a huge Tim Burton fan. Just not my cup of tea, but he's good for that genre. Anyway, I decided that since the show used to scare me as a kid, and some of the remakes as comedies I've seen have turned out very well, I changed my mind and decided to go. What I saw was a slightly spooky, funny dose of escapism. Depp maintains the 18th-century mannerisms and speech throughout, while adapting to 20-century life. Of course, movies like this aren't Oscar material, but they're not designed to be, and should be enjoyed for what they are.
Pros well paced

Great movie, but don't waste your money on seeing it in 3-D. There aren't that many scenes that look good in 3-D, and while the glasses fit much more comfortably than the old cardboard ones, they make the screen very dark. I thought the whole movie was taking place at night. It's like sitting in a dark living room watching TV with your sunglasses on.
Pros great story, great actors
Cons 3-d
Yes, I recommend this movie.
