we like some of his work but he has been known to piss on a classic as well as make them. but I woudn't know if it was good or bad unless I watch it. I my opion though it wasn't that bad, more mediocre.

So you want to stop a filmmaker, that I think we can all agree has made good films, while Uwe Boll is still loose?!? BULLSHIT!
But with Uwe Boll everyone knows his films aren't worth the DVD they come on, whereas Burton continues to slash through classical films with a 'gothic' machete and his minions of fanboys behind him!

The thing I didn't like about Tim Burton's Alice is that it just didn't feel like Alice in wonderland to me. Although I went in expecting the movie version of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane so there is kinda that bias there.

I honestly don't have a problem with Tim Burton or his movies, except the ones that are simply pretty cinematic fanfiction.

[small]Yes Burton, we get it. You're a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Planet of the Apes, etc................here's an idea................. DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL![/small]

This wasn't Alice in wonderland.

This was Through the looking Glass if you read the book. And it was more dark than the happy stoner disney story. But even that was a shroo trip by the writer. Sorry man, that was a pretty good movie, but Through the looking glass is a bit to long.

It's not 'Through the Looking Glass' either. I think it's supposed to be set after both of them, I'm not entirely sure where it was trying to fit in.

Well said op, I agree.

As I have said before...

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.171099-Poll-Wrecking-remakes

...Tim Burton is not the director he once was. He, along with Michael Bay, Uwe Boll, M. Night Shaymayalananlayn, should have his film making equipment removed and UN weapons sent to his home to confirm that he isn't deveoping any more WMTs (Whatchamacallits).
Well he and M.Night have made good movies it's just that it's all becoming old.(twists & darkness)

my two favorite Burton movies are sleepy hollow and Ed Wood.
Thank you, goodnight!

Tim Burton is not actually a film director he is a salesman for hot topic
None of his films live up to the hype.

Hmm your right. But I didn't enjoy it. Well Depp did slip into Jack Sparrow a few times. But I chalk that up to being a violent Scottsman. He did have a claymore in that last fight...

Hmm guess you need to take it what it was. America Mcgee had the same vision. And kinda like it. Guess the question is, if you hire Burton as a director... and you don't want it turning Gothic or dark. Why the hell would you hire him? Unless that's what you wanted...

Didn't particularly like Nightmare before Christmas, my friends thought all the songs were totally catchy, whereas I didn't

Some of they have apparel from the movies, I thought it was crap and ugly.

He just makes lots of movies that look more or less exactly the same

Because why fix something that aint broke?

I mean, look at Toy Story 3, the prequel was released 10 odd years ago, and have they changed a single way they animate it? FUCK THAT

I loved the "classic" or more like the "real" version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... He killed it, even the oompa loompas.

I got no problem with him making movies... Just no remakes... Use your creativity man!

Tim Burton used to be a great director. Ed Wood in particular is one of my favorite films, and movies like Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish are classics. He seems to have discovered that he can make mad bank on the backs of the Hot Topic teenager crowd, however. It would be nice if he'd start making good movies again instead of taking the classics and moving them closer to the Uncanny Valley, but I'm not holding my breath.

OK i will admit that after Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissor hands, Tim Burton hasnt made one amazingly good movie, other then his astonishingly good Animated films (i love Coraline And The NightMare Before Christmas) But i have to admit, he is still an amazing director with his sense of style being unqiue if not gothic...
Those are both Henry Sellick movies. Burton wrote the story that Nightmare was based on and was a co-producer, but he didn't have anything at all to do with Coraline.

Yeah it's fine if he wants to make his own concepts in that style but why must he go for classic films and make them spirally? I await Citizen Kane...in stripes.

While I like some of his movies, he tends to do things in the same style over and over again. It gets annoying after awhile.

So I went to see 'Alice in Wonderland', directed by Tim Burton, a couple of weeks ago with low expectations and it was pretty awful. It did make alot of monies though so now he's being considered for a remake of 'The Wizard of Oz'. He just makes everything spirally and "dark". Now I'm quite biased as I haven't really liked one of his films since 'Sleepy Hollow' but I don't want him to piss all over 'The Wizard of Oz' too.
Do people agree or am I missing something?
Alice in Wonderland was good and disappointing at the same time.

I've never seen the Wizard of Oz so the only way I would go see it would be if Tim Burton remade it. Twisted, dark - keep it coming!!
