I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly. I was very impressed with how they handled the missing scenes with Heath Ledger. I thought it was a very beautiful movie to watch. All in all it was a fun ride but i did have two slight problems with the movie. Early in the movie the focus seems to shift and concentrate on Heath Ledgers character. The movie seems to hint that he is an integral piece of the story. However, towards the end of the movie we find out his true motives and the movie then changes perspective back onto the daughter and father, leaving Heath Ledgers character feeling insignificant. This isn't so much of a problem as much as it is annoying.
My other gripe is with the father. For a monk who has been alive for hundreds of years he is quite stupid and gullible. After having been tricked by the devil several times why would he insist on trusting the Devil? Much of this can be answered using your imagination but i would have preferred that story took the time to focus more on the relationship between Parnassus and the Devil.
Still, it's a very imaginative movie with a slew of great performances and a beautiful set design. I'm surprised i didn't hear more about this movie late last year.
🍺 I seen this Last night,please dont ask me to explain what it's about,but visually it was a great ride and kept me fairly entertained,Which is surprising as I could only half figure out what this movie was about half of the time,but It had some good scenes and was a delight to look out,so I give it a 7/10
