CinemaVisitor Erik70 - Tim Burton is in good form again with this dark/gothic comedy. Won't be a classic like Edward Scissorhands but better than his recent works.

Usman Ashraf50 - I only have one word to describe this movie: 'meh.' This movie is just an alright movie, and I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you're going to rent it out, and even then make sure that there aren't any better movies you haven't seen yet.

Dan O'Neill40 - Definitely has some moments that are funny and very cool to look at, but as a whole, squanders a original premise with annoying jokes, loses its comedic edge with it’s semi-serious tone, and lets a great ensemble cast like this, do nothing other than play second-fiddle to the Tim Burton and Johnny Depp freak show.
