menuOne of Hollywood's true auteurs, who carved out a neat little niche for himself. Dark fantasy stories and quirky fairy tales make his oeuvre a blast to explore, though quality between individual entries can be more than a little inconsistent.
The good stuff
Frankenweenie
Everything about Frankenweenie shows that this a film made with lots of passion and dedication.
Alice in Wonderland
It's Burton's style that thrives the film to greater heights. One of the best Burton films I've seen so far, I hope he continues on this path
Mars Attacks!
Solid pieces
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Big Eyes
Dark Shadows
The inoffensive
Dumbo
Not a bad remake by Tim Burton. Plenty of elements from the original return, even so this adaptation is different enough to stand on its own two feet. There are splashes of Burton magic littered throughout the film, though ultimately this is clearly Burton light. It's a fun little diversion, but I prefer his original work.
Sleepy Hollow
Worthy but flawed
Corpse Bride
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Dubious filler
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Big Fish
Plain forgettable
Edward Scissorhands
Beetlejuice
Big nopes
Planet of the Apes
Batman Returns
Irritation overload
Ed Wood
