I saw with last night with a talk by Dave McKean and I really liked it. Bit weird, in a good way, at times, but I guess that was to be expected. Anyone else seen it? There's some cracking monsters I think it'd be right up most of your streets.
it was visually mind blowing, but the story was kinda par. Reminded me of sesame street/cirque du soleil at times.
Yeah story line was very weak. But visually it blew me away. The porcipine who works for the Dark Queen is Dave Mckean. Nice touch to get a role in your own movie. Sounds like he should have some more film projects coming out, it'd be interesting to see where he goes next stylisitically.
Cool movie; I used to read Gaiman's Sandman. The actress in the film is beautiful and fun to watch; they named her character Helena because she looks like a younger Helena Bonham-Carter. The story seems a bit weak, I agree, but it is very esoteric obviously. I would rather watch something like this that attempts something different than 90% of the stuff being barfed out of Hollywood.
