I'll remember this one as "that darn musical!" Film starts very fast, different characters and their stories seem to develop in a promising way with a song which has a catchy melody. And these are just about all good things I can mention about this movie. Then you begin to notice that the catchy tune is annoyingly repetitive and could be heard all thorough the movie in every song. A good musical should have at least three or two good songs. But this one hasn't got any that you'd like to whistle after you leave the theater.
As soon as characters' paths in the film start to intersect, lots of pointless stories begin to develop and none makes any sense, no character gets any anticipation. Film gets weirder and weirder.
Plot line doesn't have certain direction, it goes all over the place, in this case all over the woods. Then you get fed up with all this nonsense going on, stop caring what happens to whoever on the screen.
There are also disturbing moments. When Mr. Wolf meets Red Riding Hood. I don't know how to put that politely, but at one point, Johnny Depp's character seems like, he's trying to make pass at Red. Excuse me but this is repulsive. It seems like this scene is designed especially for satisfying some pedophile's dream. And believe me this is not the worst moment, gets worse. Some following scene, Baker takes of Red's hood, and as leaving her alone in the woods he kisses her on the cheeks. Creepy.
If you hadn't seen it yet, I recommend staying away.
