Special note for K - you know all the Gothic Victoriana that Elizabeth Peters mocks. This film is all of it. In one! Only more explicit.
( Further discussion (spoilers) )
( Some comments on the CGI and other SFX work (spoilers) )
Part of the problem with the CGI-ifiedness of bits is that none of it looks real, and makes the thing look like a fairytale, which I'm not sure is deliberate.
