I really do think this was a very different movie then most thought it would be. Johnny Depp blew me away with not only his acting (as always) but his singing (he did come to L.A. to start a band and ended up ... well you see). I've heard people say its sad and morbid and sick and such but if you were to look at the over all picture what better way to end it???? Could they have gotten back what they had? Could they turn back time and fix all the wrongs? Could they have become the people they were? I think not. If you take this movie for what its worth you'll see the true story and not just gore. True we all love a happy ending but thats not real all the time. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp always make a great team and always will its like this unspeakable bond. Well, enough said either you like or dislike this movie. I've found that there is no gray area about it.
