This is a great movie. Depp is excellent as usual. I especially loved the scenes with Depp and Carter at the beach. The brightness of those scenes went against Burton's usual style and were quite refreshing.

This was incredible, one of my top five from last year.

And it actually seemed to improve each time I saw it.

real dialogue? Real dialogue? As opposed to fake dialogue? lol But seriously now, the songs carry the story, so yes - the dialogue is within the songs. The lyrics are witty and have more to them than what is heard 'on the surface'. Like, you might the duet "Pretty Women" is about them singing about pretty women. But it's actually not, it's about these two men singing about the same women but with completely different intentions. It really goes into the characters history and current situation, and their relationship/connection. Sondheim doesn't compose to appeal to the mainstream audience. "You don't check your mind with your coat when you [see] a Sondheim show." as it was said on a dedication performance to him. He's a well-respected composer/lyricist and if you know you're getting yourself into watching an honest-to-God musical, then you should be able to enjoy yourself. And with Burton taking on the classic horror film style, you not only have a classic show on film, but a classic way of filmmaking albeit with a modern spin. All you can do is give it a shot!

Best. Movie. Of. 2007.

Must purchase the instant it hits the stores. It's a masterpiece.

Still need to see it.

I love both covers, but I like the single disc just a bit more.  Either way, can't wait to get my hands on that 2-Disc!

Please let them NOT change the artwork, the two-disc has the original poster art which I loved!  

Love it. Can't wait to pick this up. 2 disc is a must. Just bought the original stage production and own both soundtracks. Fantastic.

I prefer the 1-disc image, but not the red background. Both are decent; those are my two favorite posters. But my favorite poster is the one with the two of them like on the one-disc art. Ah, well. Coulda' been worse: the 2-disc could've been that horrendous picture on the cover of the soundtrack.

2 Disc art looks great

The artwork is amazing.
Good movie, but I still prefer the stage version. He cut way too much material from the score.

Where are Helena's tits?  Her massive cleavage is the only thing that got me through this massive bore of a movie.

i dont like musicals

i paid for this, and i thought it was a scary movie, i cant tell u so,

cuz i left... i just found it very irritating...
and i left to see I AM LEGEND


so i think i'll give it a try on DVD

i havent seen the movie yet but it looks really good and i enjoy all of depp and burton movies. 2 disc cover art looks great and i like the back cover art where they make it look romantic in a twisted way with all the bloody blades. cant wait to get this movie.

Doesn't look right to me. The "Johnny Depp is.." line is half visible and the color scheme of both images are too close to one another, which IMO makes one big mess with little to no contrast between the two.


maybe its supposed to go on the back. have no clue. of course things in the title could always change last minute and the johnny depp is part wouldnt be there at all. good photoshoping tho.

re: 2-disc features.... disciple...I'm sure the scan is not precise. There's probably more to the art behind the slip sleeve, and that's why his name is covered up.

mc_serenity: People are probably stoked for the 2-disc just because, well, Burton doesn't care for "special features" and such, for one. But also, with this being a musical, it's nice to see behind-the-scenes of the rehearsals which took place with Stephen Sondheim, pre-recording sessions, and none of this has ever been shown.  Unless "rehearsals" means something else, which means we are still getting something new that is not online still. But I'm pretty certain it is the cast working with Sondheim discussing how to 'perform' in the studio. And on that note, it looks like we're getting more of a look at the recording studio sessions, which is always fun to see. I personally am interested in watching the Grand Guignol special, and of course more about Sondheim and the original musical. I'm pretty sure I've seen everything this man has said on the subject of this musical of his - but if it's new footage, I can't wait to hear him talk about it more. I love hearing Sondheim talk about his shows. He's a genius, and this musical is his masterpiece. Well, one of them anyhow, as I feel A Little Night Music is possibly greater or at LEAST equal.

Btw, does your username have to do with Firefly/Serenity by any chance?
