An enjoyable enough flick that was actually free of quite a few of the usual Burton hallmarks (not a black and white stripe in sight!), but it felt more of a tribute than it should have to the long forgotten series on which it was based.
There are a few real "What the?" moments near the end which are no doubt nods to the source material, of which Burton and Depp are huge fans, but which are completely lost on the rest of us.
(Was lycanthropy mentioned earlier in the film? If it was; I missed it! - That's no spoiler BTW. It has NO relevance to the rest of the film which is what makes its inclusion so baffling.)

It's also the first film in which Eva Green actually looks like the bombshell everyone's been claiming her to be since Casino Royale.

It was pretty good. Great cast, nice soundtrack, Alice Cooper...

Could have done with another ten minutes, I think. The ending felt awfully rushed.
And I've never seen a character, let alone the important love interest, turn from fairly interesting to flat in such a way Victoria did! What gives!?
