Enjoyable, visually sumptuous (arresting even) at times. It's the product of a splendid vision in search of a weightier idea. Tom Waites steals the show, of course (but, when you think about it, the Devil has been stealing scenes since before Milton's Paradise Lost). Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell do good jobs filling in for Heath Ledger beyond the mirror. My guess is their presence adds to the piece, although (obviously) we'd all rather the hugely talented Mr Ledger was still with us.I've seen many worse movies (plenty of them this year). It's worth the ticket price.
