: : : : 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.
: : Yo, Kevin just said jump off a bridge, go do it! Think for your fucking self. Kevin is a good director but he isnt going to direct your life. And just because he may or may not sue him doesn't take away from his past accomplishments.
: You are no fan of his man. Why you sticking up for Burton. You want your ass kicked or something. I will do it just watch me.
I am a huge fan of Kevin's, but I think for myself. If Burton did steal from him then he'll get proper fucked, but I am not going to condemn the man for shit I know nothing about when I know he has directed good movies. I bet even Kevin respects Tims past works.
