Just quickly, before I head off to the pub again.

A slow start but then visually absolutely stunning.
All in all a bit let down by the plot, however, I must admit. Great acting throughout, though.
Dave McKean and Stephanie Leonidas (the lead actress, who I walked past at the entrance not knowing her) were there and talked a little bit before and had a brief Q&A session afterwards. The Odeon was a huge with nice seats and lots of headroom but the screen was almost lost in the front wall and could have been bigger.

Was it worth £30? Only if this has been my only chance to see it on the big screen. Otherwise, you can wait for it to get a wider release. I wasn't as much blown away by it as I thought I might be but it had many good and surreal moments. Still, the real spark was missing but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Mmm; re-watching the trailer suggested it might be a bit thin. I'm surprised Neil Gaiman could let himself down like that though.

I would have expected a little more, too.
