We’ve waited so long for it but in the end, and as cool as it is, if I find it just a little meh but at the same time I want one does that make me a bad person?
We’ve waited so long for it but in the end, and as cool as it is, if I find it just a little meh but at the same time I want one does that make me a bad person? Sure, I had hoped for something in-between the iPhone and a MacBook, in terms of size that is exactly what it is. But, I’ll be honest my first impression was that “it’s just a giant iPod Touch” (or iPod Touch 3GXL…)
It is running what is basically the iPhone OS, with slightly bigger icons, and plenty of space between them on the home screen. I mean plenty. A small child could thump their paw down on the screen an only hit one app. It has the general iPhone feel (flick/pinch/swipe etc) to the interface, with the exception of the OS X style dock, also with really spaced out icons (I wonder how many you can actually put on it?).

So when I sat down last night to watch Sweeney Todd, I had absolutely no idea that it was based on a Broadway musical. Shows just how little I knew about it. All I really knew was it was a Tim Burton film, with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (gee…how original), and plenty of blood.
My ignorance aside, I really enjoyed it, not exactly your typical musical though. Overall it is very recognisable as a Burton film, although I was a little disappointed there wasn’t more blood, but then again it is more of a crime thriller than an outright horror movie.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s not afraid of a little gore.
