Tim Burton

What do you people think of Tim Burton Films?
I like Edward scissor-hands.

[Metz]

Love nearly all of them ..Beetle Juice, Sleepy Hollow,Mars Attacks etc, the ones i didn't really like were the Batman ones and Big Fish

[Quizmonkey]

Agree and disagree, Metz! Have loved virtually his entire oeuvre (especially Big Fish and Nightmare Before Christmas!) except the abysmal Planet of the Apes remake.

And willa makes three. My favorites include Big Fish (always makes me teary at the end), Edward S., Beetlejuice (hysterical Mr. Keaton), Corpse Bride (so Gilbert & Sullivan-y), Frankenweenie and Ed Wood (ah, the joys of a fuzzy sweater).

......mmmm Johnny Depp!

I liked Ed Wood and Planet Of The Apes, which most people seem to deride for some reason - can't see why, it's a zillion times better than those 70s ones. I also quite like the Batman films.

But I get a bit tired of his approach - he seems to plough the same field a lot. I like directors who can go from a sci-fi drama to a screwball comedy to a historical epic to a war film and so on. But I understand his appeal, limited though it is.
