5-Star Musical/2-Star Delivery

Memphis certainly deserved the Best Musical Tony last year and this excellent transfer to the screen was a joy for those of us who missed seeing the original Broadway cast in NY. However, after having paid double the typical movie ticket price, we still had to suffer through the interminable advertising and trailers that preceeded the screening. And AMC Century City seemed to completely disregard the patrons in this theatre since the house lights remained on for several minutes following the the beginning of Act Two and never went back on at the end -- which left the audience exiting the theatre in total darkness.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

How on earth can you make a movie with Johnny Depp and have a two and a half hour movie feel like like four hours? I was very much looking forward to this film and found it to be all technique and no heart. Depp is always good, even here where he had no story to work with. Christian Bale played Christian Bale...again. Marion Cotillard's character felt extraneous, Visually the film is Michael Mann at his best. Perhaps he might consider including a narrative in his next film.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
