Review
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp together once again in a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s musical of the same name. A big hit in the box office, most critics and the public, I thought I would have been blown away by this movie.The style,costumes,and set designs looked as if it was a combination of Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands(that’s not a bad thing). The story and acting were superb but the music ruined it for me. I knew it was going to be musical but wow was I surprised. I had to force myself from falling asleep. Without the musical parts this movie would be on my top 10 list,but as is it didn’t strike the right chords for me.
Verdict: If you are a Depp or Burton fan and like Musicals-buy it
but for me at best it’s a RENT!!! 3/5stars
