Too weird to be good

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2000)

But then again, it IS a fantasy movie, so it's not bad. Visually it is quite nice but I would prefer a better 'do for Christopher Walken, although it makes him look like a bad guy. The leads Micheal Keaton, Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer are great, and in my personal opinion, Keaton is much better than George Clooney. Make-up and a fake nose does wonders for DeVito, and so does a catsuit for Pfeiffer, who looks absolutely stunning doing cartwheels in that slinky little number! The idea of the umbrellas are really freaky but cute at the same time. Where does the duck come from, anyway?? Tim Burton is really good with these kind of stuff and I wouldn't say this was a bad movie but it was obviously cartoonish. Burton's Sleepy Hollow was a much better film, but that's another matter. If only they didn't make any more sequels...
