I think instead of bashing him blindly like the rest of the herd, a good, honest opinion is the best way to go. Because honestly, I like Tim Burton. I think, when he puts his mind to it, he makes some great movies.

****The Greats:****

Edward Scissorhands - a modern classic. The score is just...wow.

Ed Wood - Awesome, awesome stuff.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - Let's face it, it was so crazily cooky that it was cool.

Beetlejuice - the same

Batman - Two words: Jack Nicholson

****The Not So Greats But They're Cool:****

Planet Of The Apes - The only thing keeping this out of the "Shitty" catagory is Danny-fuckin-Elfman. The opening title score alone is worth the price of a matinee.

Sleepy Hollow - Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) made this movie much better than I thought it was going to be.

****The Shitty ones:****

Batman Returns - Ugh.
Mars Attacks! - Funny/Strange/Weird but sadly not very good
-----------------------------

So, me personally, I think he's fairly solid. I did however see an interview with him done by one of the female actors in POTA (She was the one who did the "sex dance"). All I gotta say is Burton is one weird ass guy. And, obviously, after the whole lawsuit blowup, he's too "auteur-ish" to see past his own ego.
