Just as rubbish as I remembered it!
Bah!
shareYeah I was excited to see it for months, I saw it on opening night with a group of friends, we all left very disappointed. Dr. Jeckyll & Sister Hyde entertained me more than this one.

Really f8cking dull. Unattractive, uninteresting characters with lousy British accents dragging around on utterly fake looking sets. How can a movie about Jack the ripper be this boring ? I've started trying to watch it four or five times over 2 days and am still at the 25 minute mark, having watched scene after scene of fugly whores blathering on about 4 pounds.
Looked at the credits to see some kind of clue as to why it sucks, or if it could get better, and I saw...."Hughes Brothers".
Aha... yes that explains it.

I just had the same problem. I kept on looking at the clock and noting 3 minutes had past. It felt more like 3 hours.
shareI agree. Something was completely missing. I think there was a kind of twist hinted in it, such as maybe it was all a dream/premonition, it was dull and shallow. I live in the same area, White Chapel, Brick Lane with its Ripper tours, but it did not capture any mystery. Just some weird damn conspiracy theory.
shareYep, biggest pile of claptrapive ever seen. Just awful, with the exception of Robbie Coltrane whose great in everything, Joanna page Who is great as usual. Everybody else was just eurgh. I like the actress who played barbers Windsor in her life story though. Can’t remember her name but I do like her
