I can't tell you how disappointed and bored I was while watching this movie.
I kept hoping with all my heart that it will pick up its feet at some point and start delivering some feeling, magic, action or whatever. But alas, that was all in vain.
It keeps the same slooooooow pace from start to end, the actors keep showing the same inexpressive faces and delivering the same emotionless dialogs.
That is when they bother to speak. In the rest of the time they keep staring in some more or less distant point for quite long periods (I suppose it's meant to show us how deep they feel or think).
I don't know how the book ends... but the end of the movie looked pretty fuzzy and stupid to me.
You're never told why Blue Beard did all those horrible things or how did the little girl managed to escape.
The only good things in this movie were the costumes and locations, I guess.
All in all, if you expect some bit of fairy-tale, of magic, of fantasy or anything at all which would glue you to the chair in front of the screen, I think you'll be pretty disappointed.
