Surprised! the nice way

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2000)

Being a fan of previous Tim Burton films I so wanted to enjoy this but I had heard so many mixed reviews I was expecting a flawed film with small glimmers of enjoyment, what a surprise when the film came to an exiting close that I could breathe a sigh of relief, a new Burton Classic was born. The visuals create a high contrast almost colourless image with a pounding Danny Elfman sound track with enjoyable characters and set-pieces.
