Not for me. Hitchcock is rarely boring...but this had me yawning

5 mins in and this is shit. The de-ageing makes it look like a collection of cut scenes from the game. It's rare anything I watch makes me wish I was watching the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but there you go. Disney is the worst. Why bother?

Silly fun. But why is Lestrade of Scotland Yard investigating something in Northumberland?! Still hoping Rathbone's final speech comes true!

It looks great, most of the cast are good and there are loads of nice Tim Burton-y bits but frankly, the script and story is just awful. So many storylines. The boyfriend one was like a Goosebumps story edited into the film. Someone should have tried a page 1 rewrite on this. Then another and a other until they realised there was no point at all and moved on to something else.

Gets better with every watch. Barely shows anything and it's still terrifying. After years of her asking, my 13 year old daughter finally plucked up the courage to watch this and she was super scared, which just made the viewing even better! Kids need to be scared by films!
