September 18, 2009Another case of the comic being much better than the film. This really is nothing special, it?s got loads of mistakes in it and some of the great cast members are totally wasted.

April 17, 2009Jack the Ripper; one of the most infamous serial killers of all time is still very much an unsolved enigma to this day. ?From Hell? tells the story through partial fact and partial theory, which opens the suggestion to a high level conspiracy surrounding the murders, which at le...( read more)

October 29, 2009Wonderful adaption of a graphic novel with some pretty good late 19th century London history, mixed in with juicy conspiracy theories.

October 26, 2009I haven't read the graphic novel yet so I can't really compare this film to its original material. But on its own , this was a pretty decent, rather controversial, movie and I liked it very much.

October 19, 2009Oddly interesting movie about the true history of Jack The Ripper adequately tying in the secret nature of the Free Masons (see the new book by Dan Brown, "The Lost Symbol"). It's hard not to like any movie that Johnny Depp is in "Finding Neverland" and "What's Eating Gilbert Gra...( read more)

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
For all its strained attempts at sensationalism, From Hell comes across as little more than a slasher flick in Masterpiece Theatre costumes. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie feels dark, clammy and exhilarating -- it's like belonging to a secret club where you can have a lot of fun but might get into trouble. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Feels stagy, stiff and entirely unnecessary. full review

March 21, 2007"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.

January 7, 2007MissWig,
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! -
December 12, 2006This 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.

July 15, 2006Hey 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.
