I personally thought this crazy kaleidoscopic film was wonderful, but many people seem to think the opposite. However I do think this film will become a cult classic much like the book in the not to distant future.

*new cult classic*
That is true. I loved the movie, and watched more 2 times. It is really funny and stylish. I think that people who are 13-15 yo didn't love it, and they just wanted to see Tom Hiddleston, they didn't want to receive work of all other people who made this movie.
It's definitely a cult classic. From an Art perspective, it's well colored. But the script lacks credibility and substance. Mrs. Jump should've given more respect to the book when writing the screenplay.
It's not a movie for everyone and should've been shown in selected cinemas or only at independent film festivals.
It's disturbingly empty development in the scenes and cutouts, besides the well done acting from the characters.
I would love to see a remake of this.
And animals "were" hurt during filming ;-)
I think some people just like to be different and sometimes that means they jump on films that are badly criticised, some sort of non conformity perhaps. However the films that get trashed usually are pretty trash over all, there is notjing deserving of classic whatsoever about this film, nothing new, groundbreaking, thought provoking, no new film tech. Therefore a cult movie (of these types of people) but classic suggests no grasp of what actually makes a classic
