I'm really sorry that you had to see it so late Panuru! But, as you already know, you didn't really miss much...
Thanks for replying btw. I'm amazed that someone who's never seen the original version found this version mediocre...meaning this version really is bad on many levels.
As for dialogue issues, with the cut of certain songs (which really isn't much honestly) I hoped Burton would've added even more or new dialogue. I'm sure it would've helped create a good narrative flow instead of making this "cinematic" version very...well...uncinematic.
In the end, it doesn't matter. People are going head over heels for this version which is a real shame but just goes to show how stupid people are for favoring a film based merely on sex appeal.
