Burton's first 3D film is a visual feast, the story is fresh and well done. Enjoyed it and recommend it. Nice to see a film that wasn't two and half hours long. Bring me a pig for my feet!
This is dark, boring and not funny. The trailer was cute and fast paced. The movie is deadly. I wanted to leave but after paying $10.50 I was going to watch it to the end. At least it was only an hour and twenty minutes and change. I was really disappointed. I wish I had seen the Will Smith movie instead. It was my friend's choice to the see the mouse. Skip the mouse! Enjoy the trailer, it has better timing.
This is a film worth seeing. You will learn things you didn't know, you will see great acting. There is good and evil. It is just a little too long. I think every director has to leave something out and Luhrmann should have left out about 10-15 minutes. I thought the country wide shots were fantastic but the film wasn't as sharp or colorful as it could have been. I did learn again that kissing Nicole Kidman must be an out of world experience. See this film, just don't take a large drink in with you. A large film for a large audience, young and old. Four Stars.
