dreadful final 15 minutes which are rushed, unfunny and dramatically unsatisfying but it was pretty solid for the most part. Winona is incredible, undead Bellucci is a real highlight and the rest of the ensemble are having a good time, but it doesn’t focus heavily enough on any of its plot threads, emotional arcs or antagonists to be a fully cohesive experience. spends weird amounts of the runtime on random deviations like the endless Soul Train bits. the ending whiffs it with two excruciatingly long gags which drew silence from the crowd, some of the laziest resolutions imaginable and a clunker of a Final Cut. ultimately annoyed that I’m slightly disappointed by a movie I thought was guaranteed to be terrible, because it has a lot of fun sequences in the first two thirds that made me think Burton might still have something left in the tank. not so sure about that now. I did laugh very hard at the way they wrote out Jeffrey Jones though. did not laugh at how dirty they did my man Bob.
