Burton has never really lived up to his hype. Scissorhands was good (but smaltchzy)

His movies are all style & no substance. Take Batman - after the first one, th producers gave him free reign & look at the mess that was Batman Returns.

Planet of the Apes, anyone?

Glad I watched it, but not sure I enjoyed it. Odd.

Didn't realise this version would be a musical. Does Johnny Depp sing?? Think id prefer to keep him as Captain Jack Sparrow!!!

The film is based on the musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler

All film real ator musicals yes, cartoon ones like jungle book dont count really, so yep hate the lot Grease, mary poppins, bedknobs and broomsticls stc etc. For me its a perfectally good way to ruin the acting and flow of a film.

*droooooooool* (except in charlie and the choc factory yuk.)

I'm sooo looking forward to this film, think Tim Burton, Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter work great together, loved all the films they've done
