From the director who destroyed the remaking of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by single handily casting the same person as every Oompa Loompa; who constantly tricks parents and children into attending his movies, with hope that they will witness a delicate reunion to their kind childhood memories, and then shocks them with borderline horror film effects... Tim Burton, is at it again - making both children and adults cry in theaters (for completely different reasons). I felt the film was entertaining - but thats probably because Im a 27 year old male who owns a copy of El Topo. Don't bring your kids to see the film, unless you've raised them on Chucky films, moldy bread, reruns of Married w/ Children.
