It's overlong and feels bloated - I normally really like Hans Zimmer scores but this one not so much. But the film has a touch of magic about it - it's spooky and atmospheric and genuinely scary. The idea to use the ghosts from the game was a splendid one.
There is Johnny Depp who is marvellous with his rock star swagger. Orlando Bloom is completely fine as the straight man which you need in a world of character actors. Keira Knightley is wonderful - stunningly beautiful and spirited. Geoffrey Rush is fun, as is his motley crew.
Too long and the action sequences feel heavy and cumbersome but all the ghost stuff is great (this is more a ghost story than an action pic).
