It’s definitely worth seeing, I’d happily watch it again, and I can suggest it to others. I’m not saying it’s a conventional good film, but from the initial idea to the narrative and the people in it, there's a lot that works well. Certain decisions feel unusual, although they do lead to their own problem-solving sequences, giving the impression of a comic book adapted for the screen. While Johnny Depp brings h

It’s difficult for me to accept Johnny Depp as a convincing figure playing a character who is both ancient and perpetually young—an eternally attractive successor to his father's dominion over the New World.

I’m setting aside any preconceived notions for this one. I really enjoyed Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman; however, I didn’t care for Batman Returns, Alice in Wonderland, or Willy Wonka. Nightmare Before Christmas and Sweeney Todd just didn't do anything for me. So, it's safe to say I don't dislike Tim Burton entirely, nor am I a devoted fan either. I feel like my perspective is probably similar to what
