I'll reserve judgement until I see it. It looks like it could be fun. Obviously I'd rather him do more gritty, violent stuff, heh, but you can't blame the guy for wanting to try something different. You know his visuals will be amazing.
Yeah, I saw The Fall a couple months ago. It's really good. Kind of sad, though. To me he has a signature in the way everything climaxes into a crescendo at the end. The Fall, The Cell, Immortals all have a similar intensity the way they end. So it'll be interesting to see how he handles a completely different genre.
This movie was rather charming. And it has Tarsem's signature visuals. It's sort of Princess Bride-ish. I was genuinely amused on several occasions. I liked that the 7 dwarves are actual dwarves, because if Tim Burton or George Lucas or somebody was doing the film, they probably would be CG and have no appeal whatsoever. This film is a nice combination of old-school filmmaking and new technology in that it's focused mostly on the characters and performances for humor rather than gimmicky effects. Nathan Lane played a pretty amusing character.
Even though it's not necessarily my cup of tea, I enjoyed it for what it is. A very good date movie.
One thing I didn't understand, though, is why the Queen didn't assemble a big army or protective soldiers of some sort to protect her power..?

Not yet. I went to the Lorax to treat my mom and The Hunger Games to treat my dad - someone's gotta treat me to another before I can go again. My funds won't permit it.
But I did show it to my mom, and told her about it, and said "I think you'd like this movie, so I have planted the seeds.
