OK OK, so he is a genius... I was beginning to wonder. So I had to check. Better I check than say he is only "good" b/c of this half-bad-half-good flick.
Watch for the "piano duet" scene for the movie to take off and then abruptly end! :( I get very upset with Mr. Burton b/c he should have no stinkers... this one stinks from the hips to the head - the second half is Mr. Burton... I'm guessing someone else directed the first half... (???).
So I gave this a 5 out of 10. Don't see it... unless they pay you to waste your time. But then I always remember the second half and it takes off like the Timmy we all know and love! :/ Ah well, if Mr. Burton wants a complete score then he should make a complete movie and stop sharing the directing with less qualified people. (That's according to my guess - that someone else directed the first half.)

PS: I was a still photographer and I didn't always get great shots... but what I did do was only show my great shots. :)
