I went to see this movie knowing nothing about it except that it was a tim burton movie , with depp as star. and that it was a horror movie. So i knew it would be messed up, in a good way. About 15 minutes into the movie i figured out it was a musical, which at the time i was thinking it was going to be very boring. NOT TRUE!! Its a very odd, but brilliant combo, i mean a horror/musical, come on how much more messed up can that be?? i dont think anyone has done this before and nobody but Burton could pull it off, i LOVED this movie, they picked the best actors fo the parts. Its deff. not a kids movie, and very much not a movie for someone sqweemish lol. This is a must buy. (Later on i found out it was based on a actual musical.) Which kinda make me want to find a taping of the original .
