A good movie

I didn't really know what to expect from this flick before watching it. I mean, I have never seen the TV show it is based on and, frankly, even though I have seen every single movie directed by Tim Burton, it has been a while that he really did blow me away. Furthermore, the (terribly misleading) trailer gave me the feeling that it would be a straight comedy reminiscent of 'The Addams Familly' which wasn't really promising either. Fortunately, it turned out to be actually not bad at after all. Indeed, it was visually really neat, especially the introduction which was some kind of Gothic extravangaza and the tone was just perfect. Furthermore, I really enjoyed Johnny Depp who was quite hilarious and it has been a while since he gave such a solid performance. The rest of the cast was also pretty good but they didn't stand a chance against Depp, except maybe for Eva Green. Still, even though I enjoyed this movie, I was still missing something though. Indeed, there were a few misfires like the sex scene or the concert with Alice Cooper where the tone was gone and they went for the cheap jokes. Furthermore, the ending was rather disappointing as it was a rather boring and uninteresting final fight between the two major protagonists. Still, to conclude, even though it wasn't entirely satisfying, it was still a fairly enjoyable flick and it is worth a look, especially if you like Tim Burton's work.
