- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121164/
- Known actors: Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, Tracey Ullman and Christopher Lee.
- Style: Very Tim Burton.
- Pacing: Quick and to the point, it is short after all, especially if you don't take into account the songs.
- Intro: Annoying singing.
- Story: There lies a hidden intrigue within this fantastic touching love story based on a very simple premise.
- Ending: An interesting little twist in how it happened, even if the end result was generally predictable.
- Dialogs: Neat.
- Characters: Quite fantastic, well made and thoroughly thought out.
- Acting: Solid.
- Visuals: Beautiful.
- Music: Haunting and perfect, by Danny Elfman. The singing was totally unnecessary.
I've decided to simply go for a score without any review. Maybe I'll start again doing full reviews someday.
