A pointless movie that is only saved by the brilliant acting of Eva Green.
Eva Green is the only reason to see this movie. She rises the worthlessness of everything about this movie and makes it better by just being in it. Now if only the movie had focused on her character more, than this movie wouldn't have been half bad. As it stands now this movie only has a beating heart when she is on screen, because when she is absent the movie panders on in a coma state. But let me tell you when she is on screen she brings her character to life in ways no one thought she would. She does the same thing in this movie that she did in Dark Shadows - she steals the entire movie out from everyone in it. Even Jonny Depp didn't have a chance as he has become more a parody of himself than an actor - but at least he isn't under self delusion that he's something more than he's not. He knows he just picking up a paycheck and acts appropriately. I just wish his acting would get better. Eva Green doesn't seem to care what kind of movie she's in as she goes no holds barred into every character she plays and makes the movie that much better simply by her presence. She's one of the few actresses I've seen that seems to make any B-movie worth watching simply for the fact she is in it. There's not too many actors or actresses I can say that about.
Here's looking forward to the next Eva Green movie.
