I actually like Tim Burton's style quite a bit, and his movies are actually pretty good (Ever hear of Ed Wood?). Having said that, I can agree that Alice in Wonderland really was a huge crapfest.

I like Tim Burton, he's pretty unique :] And if you don't like him then why do see his films? You know that he is pretty creative and an unusual guy, and thats his style of film, without fail. He does the freaky ones :]

I used to love Tim Burton as a child and I used to love his dark and creepy style. I actually love dark and creepy things, especially with art but after watching Alice In Wonderland I really dislike him now. That book is sooo effing amazing I am in love with it and he completely just fucked it up. Half way through watching it i was like ffs this is basically just an effing sequel, was such a let down. The characters were not very well shown off and even the cinematography wasn't pleasing to look at. The Mad Hatter what the actual fuck!? Turned into some crazy scottish freak. Omg he raped that book and I hate him for it.
It was terrible
Rant over.

That being said A Nightmare Before Christmas is still effing amazing and so is James and the Giant Peach.
I just feel as if he can't be bothered anymore. He seriously needs to find some new actors too.
But yea how can you not like dark and creepy styles? It's the best thing ever

I hate his movies so much. The style he creates them in is so creepy, ugly and unattractive. Johnny Depp is a good actor, but it's hard to see him as one when he's covered in ugly make-up and given ridiculous roles. Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland was terrible too...

God I hate this guy so much, he tries to be all artsy and original when he really just ends up making an ugly mess in every one of his movies.

I couldn't agree more and how he always casts his wife in all his movies is annoying!

I always thought his movies were for like the goths and emos and freaks. I remember in middle school all the goths and emos would be wearing the nightmare before christmas shirts.

I rarely go see any of his movies, but I did see Alice in Wonderland, and I thought it was a bit boring.

I really like Tim Burton as he created his own universe. Some of his films (The Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands,...) are so dark and poetic on the same time. I went to see Alice in Wonderland though, but I have been very disappointed. It's not art to me, but just another commercial movie. The book is really good and so is the Walt Disney... But the Tim Burton's movie is such a crap... It's a good distraction but definitely not art.

I love his films. It's some unique, some weird and some special. ;)

Eh, some of his other movies have good scripts, I just can't stand the style they're executed in. A lot of them are probably better on paper.

An yeah, if you're gonna make a movie based off of a book with pretty much the same title and all, at least have the decency to stay loyal to it's content.

Yeah cos making the 1000th Alice in Wonderland film which has generally no linear plot instead, being a series of events wuld be a great idea to do for a live action movie.

I mostly like Tim Burton's movie Edward Scissorhands was a brilliant movie, sweeney Todd and Willy Wonka were great adaptions. I do think he needs to do a more variety of actors in his movies but even so, it seems to work with them.

I personally think Tim Burton is great. Ok, maybe Alice in Wonderland was not as good as I expected it to be, but I think his other movies are amazing. My favorites are probably.. Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas.. My all time favorite is Edward Scissorhands.

I like them because they're so unique, like another universe. Some are better than others, but I still think he's great.

I love the style, tbh. He's one of my biggest heroes, and the biggest dream of mine is to have something to do with a future production of his<3 Some people can't find the art in his style but I can and I find it unbelievably beautiful.

Personally I like his some of his movies, but sometimes he just turns me off. Like I loved The Corpse Bride and Alice in Wonderland but I hated Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands. He could be pretty good, if he wasn't so freaking creepy.

i can pretty much agree that Tim Burton is incredibly unique, his style is so creative, yet i think he makes for a pretty poor movie director. Everytime i watch his movies, it's always for the creativity and never for the solid plotline.
That said, he has been pretty memorable.

Plotline is for the writers to create.

i liked a nightmare before christmas and - just guessing if its from burton - edward scissorhands

I used to really like his style.. his movies lately seem to just be lacking what they used to have and just give off the impression that he is trying too hard.

I really feel i need to step in with this video
