I love Tim Burton's directing style and here is another fine example of just how talented he is. He just puts you in another place and time with his movies and he is always so unique. You never forget Tim Burton's characters and Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder are top notch at their roles. This is perhaps one of my favorite Tim Burton films and this movie is way too cool. This movie is awesome and this could be perhaps Johnny Depp's best character portrayal.
