: 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.
How dare you post such crap. Kevin said he was suing him why would you post such a shrine to him. Fuck YOU man. That is hurtful.
