I loved the music, I thought the film was an incredible experience, like you said. I've already bought the soundtrack and listen to it all the time and wish I could keep watching the movie, but alas it's hardly even in theaters... My problem revolves around that bus ride and Bono / Izzard cameo segment. I thought there was way too much "WTF?" moments in the film. That's the best way to describe it. Later on in another song with Prudence when she falls backwards wearing grey into the water. WTF was that and why was it there, what did it even have to do with that song?! I understand Taymor is a visionary, but this is a complete movie, not 30 music videos. Please try and properly connect what happens in certain moments with the story instead of random placing trippy occurrences. Anyway, besides that I still liked it - 7/10!
