actually I've never seen a bad Tim Burton movie

Did he do the "Batman" films? Batman would have slapped him upside the head for those, but he would have had to wait for me to finish first.

On the other hand, this film may be ideal for Burton. You need to view his work without any previous expectations. He does has an amazing sense of creativity. It just needs to be applied to the right project.

Baring any obscene behavior or language in this film, I'll probably go see it. If it's suitable, I'll even take the kids. Rold Dalh has always been a favorite of mine, and should be a great subject for Burton. I think they see the world the same way.

He did the first two. I thought the first Batman was a good flick...everything else basically sucked, mainly because Michael Keaton was replaced for the sequel.

I liked Batman. Nicholson probably gave the best portrayal of a comic book villian ever, at least the most memorable, and it was very stylish and cool. And Devito in Batman Returns was great, plus Michele Pheiffer, ROWR! And I like Michael Keaton in about anything he does. THe production design was amazing. And you have to admit they are both better than the following Batmans Burton didn't do.
