Not the best Tim Burton movie

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 1999)

Good story and superb settings (See New York in 1799 and the houses of the village). But it don't have that Tim Burton touch. There is not humor. At the end, with all these special effects, it just looks like another special effets Hollywood movie (Boring, boring...) From Tim Burton, I expect something else than the traditionnal special effets. Christina is great, and so is Johnny Depp. It's a good movie, but not a great Tim Burton film.
