Fully entertaining film, if nothing else.

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 1999)

I had been really looking forward to this movie as I generally like Tim Burton films. This is definitely a Burton movie - beautiful Gothic sets & costumes, subtle (and more blatant, too) irony/humor, and the other usual suspects (jack-o-lanterns, claymation-esque animation, etc.). I found this movie to be completely entertaining, but there were several points that were just soo cheesy, he had to have included them tongue-in-cheek (one hopes). Not as great and haunting as "Edward Scissorhands" but good fun nonetheless.
