>>5250310never quite understood Tim Burton. Created Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Ed Wood, Nightmare Before Christmas (didn't technically direct but story and character design were his) and Beetlejuice, easily 4 of my favorite movies and I've basically hated everything else he's done.
Perhaps he pulled a George Lucas? Lucas seems to be really great at coming up with interesting ideas and set pieces for films but not exactly executing them, then when he was given full control it was a misfire. I wonder if Tim Burton has the same problems, although I wouldn't exactly know where his strengths lie vs. his weaknesses (I really like his cinematography and overall artistic vision but not his writing I suppose?)
