Almost cartoons

Rating: 3/10 (9 May 2000)

Perhaps I should begin by saying that I am NOT a fan of Tim Burton. I went to the movie hoping to see Johnny Depp in a role more along the lines of Edward Scissorhands. I was thoroughly disappointed. His character was cartoon like (though this was not his fault).
Except for the really beautiful images, there was nothing about this movie. Those were really stunning and helped created the mood... unfortunately the mood was entirely spoiled by the horror scenes, which were ludicrous.
As I have said before and I repeat, everything else is just cartoons. The directing, the acting, everything. I suppose I should have expected this... serves me well not to go see another Tim Burton movie. Anyway, if you like his style, you will probably enjoy it...
(Spoilers...)
In one of the scenes at the end of the movie, which I suppose was meant to be the most frightening one, where the Rider gets his head back, I could not refrain from laughing!! I didn't laugh as much at a supposedly serious movie since Predator...
