Decent adaptation of a superior graphic novel that had a very interesting take on the case. I expected a bit more grit from the Hughs brothers, but they still delivered a pretty good movie.

From Hell is an adaptation of Alam Moore's story based on the grim murders of the classic Jack the Ripper.

Alan Moore notoriously hates all film adaptations of his work, and I tend to disagree with him. I personally love V for Vendetta and I like The Watchmen eventho it has it's flaws. But from Hell? Compared to his novel, this one feels flat. I can understand him why...

It isn't terrible or anything, but it can be boring in the second half. It does take the setting serious with the dark nightmarish slums of London filth and skies as red as a pool of blood. It looks great. But the flow of the story is slow.

Film 157 (Goal: 300) of 2024:

Having never read the graphic novel by Alan Moore, being interested and not well versed on the subject matter of Jack the Ripper, and being a Johnny Depp fan, I was eager to watch From Hell. A police drama, psychological horror that focuses on Jack the Ripper, his murder of a bunch of prostitutes, and the cop (Depp) that tries to catch him.

I really enjoyed From Hell, especially the first two acts. The last 25 minutes drop the ball slightly as the film delves into almost supernatural territory. The reveal also wasn't what I hoped for. Otherwise the complete package outweighs the sum, and my own personal storytelling desires.

The plot veers too wildly with how much [spoiler]Jack the Ripper is directly helped, and by whom.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Considering he is essentially tasked to do this by the highest levels, his murder assistant should be a more competent creature.[/spoiler]

Didn't like [spoiler]the tacked on "unhappy"[/spoiler] ending. One point deducted for that.

As much as I like serial killer movies, I think all the good ones might've spoiled this one. Didn't do much for me. Has a few memorable lines though!

Another version of the story of Jack the Ripper. Aligned with some theories, it brings an interesting outcome. Johnny Depp is always Johnny Depp: Either you love him or hate him!

Some bad English accents, and even from some of the British actors. Dialogue seems too hollywood at times for something set in old England. More like a drab bbc drama.

A rather boring flick about "Jack the Ripper". Even Depp can't safe the movie!

One of the few movies I have on DVD. So when I moved to a new apartment, which has often been the case, I always had no Internet at first. Consequently, I always watched the movie on the first day after my move. Quite comfortably between unassembled cabinets and boxes, I always had a comfortable home feeling. :)
