As expected, this just didn't deliver the goods. The funny lines that got laughs from the trailer were flaccid when delivered in the full breadth of the film. Everybody in the cast was good, they really tried but it just didn't gel. Green looked terrific, Pfeiffer, too. Depp did well but, alas, there just wasn't enough to keep the ball in the air. If Depp keeps trying to play understand comedy he will become Jack Sparrow.
If anything, Bella Heathcote's beauty kept me interested but she just wasn't on camera enough....same for Chloe Moretz who was also a family monster. Poor Johnny Lee Miller ended up being teats on a boar hog.
This is a pretty movie, an expensive one, but the script was too weak for production. Sad.

We all enjoyed it. Sure much of the laughs were in the previews, but gazing upon Eva Green's loveliness makes any movie worthwhile.
I appreciated the good Doctor's journey, just enough clues to let you know what's happening if you aren't asleep. My daughters missed most of them. Poor Chloe suffered a boring, uneven journey. I love the budding actress, but her talents seem to be wasted here. What? A fifteen-year-old playing a spoiled fifteen-year-old?
The music was great, placed in 1972, my freshman year at high school. I appreciated Depp's discovery of the new time.
The special effects on Eva Green at the end were amazing, but expected nowadays, so sad.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
watch the film "Womb," now making the rounds on Showtime network. The camera loves her. A film you may find quite interesting or quite silly, depending on which side of the bed you woke up on. An Eva Green treat, though.
When I first heard, several years ago, they were going to do this movie, I was excited. I had no idea then that it would be a comedy. The trailers look awful. Very disappointed. At this point, the genre is pretty dead.

The womens certainly appear to be quite a bit above average however.
