Everyone goes to a movie with certain expectations. I expected a Great storyline in a movie starring Johnny Depp. However the story was, at times, slow. I would imagine someone told Depp to "slow down the dialog", probably for the children's delicate comprehension. What this movie does do well is; in your face - awesomely gruesome - computer animation detail. I don't want to spoil anything, but there were times I started feeling queasy in my stomach as I am the type to look away when passing road kill. Still okay for children though, they will probably find it funny if they can sit through the slow scenes. If bringing your kids, go to the matinée and save some money, otherwise wait for the DVD.
