I liked it, but I thought, either they should have gone with the business of Crane being a "modern," "scientific" detective--and had it turn out to be nothing supernatural--or else they should have dropped the opening bit about modern science and just made it all supernatural. The mixture of the two left me feeling kind of--I don't know--eh? :-\

It was steampunk. I really like it.
They did pursue the scientific/gumshoe line, until he found out it was really supernatural. Kinda X-files like.
I also like how Depp's hero Crane is basically a coward. ;D

Actually, David, it goes all the way back to 1984.
But, thank heavens, I've finally found someone else who likes that version! :laugh:
I love that version! What a great cast: George C. Scott, David Warner, Roger Rees, Susannah York, Edward Woodward. ... :D

Eh, I didn't like George's version. He only had one expression - stern and hard - so his conversion was less convincing IMO. And OMG, I was overjoyed Patrick Stewart made a version, then the producers committed the unpardonable sin of making a Christmas Carol boring. I got bored and walked off after a while. I NEVER do that with the older 1940's versions. I was SO disappointed.

My favorite is, and will always be, "It's a Wonderful Life", with Jimmy Stewart.
