I overall really liked this movie! I usually am a huge fan of Burton movies, and this one didn't dissapoint. Loved the story, the actors did great (except for the young guy who recently played the lead in mortal instruments. I found his story blah). The singing didn't bother me like I thought it would. Overall, I'd give it a B+, 7.5/10

I really love this film, but my second favorite Tim Burton film after Ed Wood. That whole section of A Little Priest and the Joanna reprise are just masterful. And the performances are terrific. A

I loath this movie. Everything is cringe-worthy and Burton by-the-numbers caricatures of his former self which Goth and Emo posers worship. One of my most painful memory in theater, especially for someone who used to love Burton's movies. I only stop facepalming during Borat's scenes, too bad he got shafted out of this mess so fast.

 

When I saw this movie on 2007 Christmas holidays we were two at the showing...

my sister and me. That "Johanna" horrible song made us consider to leave before the movie was over if not for the fact that we were stuck at night in the middle of a nowhere place in Minnesota surrounded by a big ass pile of snow waiting for our host to take us home.

One of the two highlights of Burton's post-2000 career (the other being Big Fish) and it remains the last time Depp looked like he truly cared. I never liked the overly melodramatic part with the Beggar Woman turning out to be Todd's wife (it probably worked better on stage, but on screen the execution just feels clumsy) and the way the story of Anthony and Joanna seems to be one scene away from a proper ending, but the rest of the film strikes the exact tone it needs, and the Pretty Women - Epiphany - A Little Priest - Johanna (reprise) section in the middle is fantastic.

Love this. The only Burton movie of the 2000s that I truly adore. The only problem is Jamie Campbell Bower. She's terrible.

That's the section of the film I love.

I just watched the movies 3 days ago then watched it again on the next day and the day after that. I really, REALLY loved it, and the songs were so good. It's one of those movies that leave you thinking about them. A+
