Oh my. What fun is this?

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2000)

Classic Tim Burton. From the same dude who brought us beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands... Comes this fine little dandy. I'd wanted to see this movie when it came out, but it ran into a little 007 trouble. I'll always watch James Bond before anyone else even if Bond's quality rating could be more or less of this movie. I pretty much loved this movie. Christina Ricci was fun to watch in this movie. I would consider this movie one of her best. Johnny Depp is strange as usual. He so looked his Edward Scissorhands best. Some of the whigs in here are recognizable, and totally fun. This was also classic Christopher Walken. He was born to play roles like this. It wouldn't be a horrific movie without him. ---
POSSIBLE Spoilers:::::

Some points I didn't like was the very end of the movie. I would have thought just cutting it after he faints woulda been fun. Or ending the movie at sleepy hollow somewhere would have been fun. As always, it's always tricky after changing the ending of a classic (ie The Scarlet Letter (demi moore)... which actually I didn't mind that change. however The Crucible (Winona Ryder) didn't change the ending and it also did a good job.)
I also thought having some idiot placing that idiotic flaming pumpkin scene was unnessessary. Why have it? It wasn't pertenent to the story. I haven't ever read the book, but I just thought it distracting.
I give this a 7 out of 10. But very entertaining it was.
