Imaginative and Fresh

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

I have to preface this entire post by saying that I am NOT a big fan of Tim Burton. I don't think he ever does ANYTHING new.
For goodness sakes, the man has had Danny Elfman compose the scores for ALL of his movies, and recycles half of his cast from movie to movie! With the aforementioned disclosure off of my chest, I have to say that this was an unexpectedly fantastic movie! The concept was fresh, the storytelling was genius, and this vehicle lends itself perfectly to Burton's style.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone with an adult (read MATURE) mindset.
