Burton + Elfman = Perfection Again

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 1999)

Happily, the film starts with action - then lets you breathe. Humorous elements are thrown in at appropriate times to keep you from messing your pants. Overall, I found it suspenseful - and the ending a complete surprise. The visuals are greatly enhanced by Danny Elfman's haunting score. After all, what's a Burton flick without Elfman tunes?
