Second worst after "Planet of the Apes"

Rating: 5/10 (15 October 2010)

I thought Tim Burton was unable to make another heartless movie like "Planet of the Apes", but unfortunately I was wrong, so wrong. This one is better than the "Planet...", but still such a big disappointment that comes from one of the few visionaries that work in Hollywood.
Visually this movie is stunning and it didn't stop being for the whole time, but that is the only thing that works perfectly for this movie. The humor also works fine and succeeds, maybe not perfectly as we are used from Burton, but doesn't misses and provides sufficient number of laughs.
The problem begun and end with the emotional side of the movie. Making beautiful emotional stories is the thing that separates Burton from most of His colleagues who are directing big budget Hollywood flicks. But this time He joins them and fails almost completely delivering emotions and characters that you care for.
