Two words describe this film “Bloody” & “Brilliant.”

I was a little sceptical about going to see a musical, but then I thought that Moulin Rouge was brilliant so I thought I’ve give it a go, and I wasn’t disappointed.

The combination of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton worked out brilliantly, and even the inclusion of Sacha Baron Cohen (which I dreaded) was well done and didn’t let the film down.  Alan Rickman plays a very good Judge Turpin, and there is even a cameo by Tony Head who congratulates Benjamin Barker at winning the competition.

The biggest surprise to me was that Johnny Depp can actually sing very well, I loved the performance he gave when crooning to his razors in “My Friends.”

Although Depp does a good cockney accent, I have to say that being a Pirates of the Carribbean fan, I kept expecting captain Jack Sparrow to pop up when he was talking.

I would highly recommend this film, its much more worthy of you time than Cloverfield.
