Burton & Depp's best

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 1999)

I love this movie very much. There are not many directors who would attempt a modern-day fairy tale, but Tim Burton creates the right balance of fantasty & reality in the telling of the story. Johnny Depp is perfection in the title role - also great are Dianne Wiest and especially Alan Arkin (who insists on calling him "Eddie"). A movie for everyone to love.
