Negative Positive
Title: This fell flat to me.
Review: This movie just wasn't all that great. It seemed more like an excuse to give Johnny Depp screen time than to actually tell the story. I'm rather neutral towards the actor, as I am about most actors, the movie itself just really doesn't hold up. It seems like it was weird for the sakes of being weird without a whole lot to redeem it. Depth was lacking where it was needed, and depth was added in areas that could have been left alone. I did read the book BTW, a long time ago - the whole Willies dad angle could have been left out, it didn't seem like it really added anything to the story. I'm not one of those people who expects a movie to exactly follow a book, but I am one of those people who expects a movie to come out well.
Is the review positive or negative?
