None of those recent Burton movies, and I've seen them all except Dumbo, are good.

Well they are all his films in the past ten years or so, so that's all you're getting. If an admin could move this to the film section that would be "super" cool.

Yes. He's become a one trick pony and that trick has long since stopped being of much interest. I don't think Depp has done himself too many favours by sticking with him for so many films either. I saw him in that Whitey Bulger biopic quite recently and it reminded me of how good he can be.. I'd quite forgotten.

Big Fish is wonderful and I also quite liked Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Big Eyes. He's not quite a spent force just yet but certainly teetering on the edge of it.

I think he has talent, but he went to the well once to many. I think if he tried to make a straight down the line film, I mean no fantasy or kookiness, just a straight up drama, I think he would be good at it. The problem is I don't think he has much interest in doing that.

^^^^^ same highlights for me. I know "Sleepy Hollow" is 90's but I think it's quite good also.
I'll probably get dragged along to "Dumbo" and I'll probably try to be upbeat about it.
I expect it, like "Alice in Wonderland" to have astonishing production design and FUCK ALL to do with what I liked about the source material.

The problem is I don't think he has much interest in doing that. That's basically what Big Eyes was, except the characters themselves dabbled with kookiness so it still had half a foot in the Tim Burton camp but it wasn't excessive. |

Frankenweenie, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Corpse Bride and Big Fish are excellent films
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Big Eyes are decent to good
Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are bloated, but have moments
Planet of the Apes was a disaster and Dark Shadows was a bit muddled and an odd choice for a film..
Not a spent force, but one in need of some focus...

Ed Wood seems like a lifetime away.
I gave up years ago

Even David lynch broke form and did The Straight Story.

I support anything that keeps him from designing "punk" comic book costumes.
