i guess i wanted to say that its possible to make a good movie where music and singing plays the most important part, but the traditions of classic musicals of how they are made are seriously flawed.
sweeney todd still has the same flaws.

i guess so, but it wont inspire more people to watch more musicals and therefore movie creators to create more musicals. (god my english is so broken lol).

well movie is quite a failure i think...
because 'musical' as a genre is quite dead.
this movie wanted to revive it somehow, however it looked and sounded just like the old musicals which means it was just as horrible as the classic musicals.


thats based on the opinion that old muscials sucked, believe it or not some people enjoyed them movies and in which case might enjoy this movie ? therefore i dont think its a failure

Believe me, if you've watched enough bollywood films because, say, people you know forced you to, you can hate musicals of any sort for the rest of your life.


i dont disagree but like i said its just an opinion u cant say that the movie generally fails tho

Yeah I like the old musicals, like Mary Poppins, the Sound of music and Siging in the Rain! :o
But I have to decide for myself, after I see the movie! :)

Oh and I love Tim Burton's movies, so I guess he can't much wrong for me :P

My brother saw this with a couple of his friends. He said that it was the worst movie he'd ever seen in his life and came out of it wishing that he, too, was a murderer. And by that I mean he wanted to kill the director/producer/actors/promoters/everyone else.

Oh yea his friends hated it too. I honestly can't describe to you guys how disgusted they all were with the movie.

wtf Borat?

As in; Sasha Baren Cohen.. (Or however you spell it) Appears in this film. Not seen it yet, but I'm a fan of Tim Burton's work and his obsession with Johnny Depp. (Who is a fine actor)

Not a huge fan of musicals but this was very well done, plus I'm a Tim Burton fan, so it worked out quite well.
