Is Tim Burton dead?

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2004)

This is what came to my mind when I came out of the theater. This is a major disappointment from one of my favorites directors. I found it lame, a bit boring and more surprisingly from Burton: unimaginative. This film don't make you feel anything. What could have been interesting, the relationship between the son and the father seems realy false and dull. And I think it would have been much better with Johnny Depp instead of Ewan McGreggor (not that I have something against him). Also Danny Elfman's music is his worst composition ever. I sincerely hope that "Charlie & the chocolate factory" will be better as I love the book and I think Burton is only guy able to direct it right.
