Great comeback

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2004)

Tim Burton's big comeback.
The stories are entertaining on their own, and the first few stories did stand independently from the rest of the plot (present and past) in my mind. But as the characters developed more in the present, the stories of the past carried more meaning for me and tied the emotions felt by the young Ed Bloom to those of the old, sick man in the bed. That's what's important, and that's what I took away from this movie; the stories conveyed the same emotions with added grandeur in their deliveries and made me realize how much life meant to the characters.
Best movie I've seen in a long time.
