    Great movie :D
    Parts were based on the actual tales of Jack The Ripper but it was mostly based on the graphic novel.
    Johnny Depp was exceptional (:
    Jack The Ripper :DD

    I couldn't believe the ending...I can't say that I would never have guessed it, because I had a little, teeny-tiny feeling that the ending would be that. I would say it, but, yet again, I don't want to spoil the ending. ^_^



    This movie had a very interesting story. This was about a guy named Jack the Ripper, who, in this movie, steals whore's...ahem, uteruses, and other organs. No one knows who is doing it, and everyone in town demands to know, so an inspector, Inspector Fredrick Abberline, tries to figure it out. This particular inspector apparently has visions, and can tell who is going to get killed, in his dreams. The inspector figures out that Jack the Ripper always gives grapes and a certain type of alchohol to all of his victims, so he has to be rich, because hardly anyone can afford grapes. The inspector eventually figures out who it is, with the help of his new love, Mary Kelly. Yet again, I'm not going to say the ending, for the some of you who want to see the movie. ^_^

    This is a good take on Jack The Ripper... what am I saying of course it is its Johnny Depp. It could have been better, but still decent.

    I didn't like it to much, it's kind a porn haha and sometimes turns boring. Has nothing to do with Johnny's performance, He did it great.

    Loved this movie and especially LOVED LOVED Johnny Depp. This movie actually made sense of the Jack the Ripper story than any other I have seen or read and I reckon it could be true. Johnny was brill in it.

    Fantastic film to say the least.
    Really enjoyed watching this.
    I have always been interested in the Ripper case and was happy I came across this film.
    All the blood and gore is great.
    Brilliant acting from Johnny Depp aswell as always specially nailing the cockney accent and Ian Holmes who should be givin credit to aswell.
    Fantastic film and definetley recommendable.

    This is very well acted but to my mind it's just more supposition about who Jack the Ripper really could have been.

    Cool version of Jack The Ripper, who represented London society and murdered 6 prostitutes during August of 1888. I loved the cast. Scary and gory, but a good thriller as well.

    Just bought it and the second time i've seen it. I still don't know what people don't like about it. I was disgusted when i was meant to be and the performances were insane especially ian holm who just brought the movie to a whole new level. Depp exceptional as always and even heather graham was decent and she didn't even have to show her p@#!y this time

    An assumed story of what really happened when Jack the ripper walked the streets. Johnny Depp is as always convincing but the movie is not as powerful as it could have been.

    Amazing film, a must see horror, excellently dark and gory, one of Johnny's best (not that he has any films that aren't his best).

    Very stylished thriller with an awesome direction, a SUPERB cinematography, an extraordinary cast. Everything in this is so humble, so classy, so slow and mysterious. Well done, but something and I don,t know what, was missing to plenty haut me. But worth the thrill.

    I think they could have done a better job with the script. This is Jack the Ripper! Kind of disappointing .

    It's a chopped up prostitute extravaganza! Ian Holm is awesome with his black devil eyes. P.S. old prostitutes are gross.

    Looks good but based on the dumbest of all the Ripper theories. The Hughes do a great job recreating the crime scenes but failed to learn about the crimes or the people and places involved. Same goes for the author of the graphic novel that was the bases of the film.

    "From Hell" is compelling and deep; it's a social drama as well as a mystery. I never knew Heather Graham was quite such a good actress, but Johnny Depp steals the show as usual, with his "Jack Sparrow" accent and his passionate acting. I loved this movie.

    MissWig,
    AMEN TO THAT!
    I couldn't have said it better myself.
    I hate those Deppies that couldn't care less about Johnny's talent or passion for his craft. They should watch his movies for his acting not his looks.
    Well, you said everything just perfectly!

    This is a great film. All of the actors involved give great performances. I really liked the the relationship between Johnny Depp and Robbie Coltrane's characters - the two actors really bounced off each other.

    Hey lechner5, it sounds like you really like Johnny Depp. But unlike you, who are infatuated with Johnny just because he is gorgeous, I happen to like the movie because he is a brilliant actor. His character is passionate, sensual, and clever. Johnny does a fantastic job portraying his characters in his movies. He does more than just intertain the female audience with his looks, he inspires other actors and filmmakers to follow their dreams and do what makes them happy. He brings so much more to the screen than just his appearance. So please, instead of ranting over his looks, take a look at his brilliance on screen and what an amazing actor he really is.
