This is an excellent film , but still outshined by the nightmare before Christmas.

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2007)

**WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS** Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors,right up there with Tarintino,Smith,Guillemero Del Torro.I absolutely loved this movie when it came out,I was like one of three people in the theatre on opening day.When I was watching it I thought it had a great sense of humor,music and so on.My minor complants with this title was I felt it was far to short like all of Burtons films,In my opinion I still like nightmare before Christmas more,and it was titled as dark and maccabre but not quite dark enough.The ending was poetic,and the acting was all very good it's got almost every Burton trademark .Sadly most likely never going to be a sequel.The poster for this movie alone is still better then all of Burtons versions of planet of the apes and charlie and the chocolate family.His only bad films .This is one of his best work and should have gotten more oscor praise.
