Not at all interested in this. Planet of the Apes sucked. Willy Wonka sucked. Burton needs to not rehash classic stories, because he's terrible at it.

I didn't mind Planet of the Apes, but that's only because I was never a big fan of the original series, but it was a definate departure to his earlier movies. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was terrible from what I saw on TV, and I seem to be the only person who didn't like Big Fish...so I don't know.

I liked Big Fish. I actually liked Sleepy Hollow too, even though it had little to nothing to do with the original story.

Yeah Sleepy Hollow was good, this was at a time before Walken had walked off the deep end with all his comedy roles, so his cameo was wickedly awesome.

I don't know what it was about Big Fish, but I never felt Ewen McGregar was a great actor and his accent was atrocious. The story was pretty bland and predictable too, and this is essentially the one Burton movie I had absolutely no fun in watching.

Big fish was good.

Charlie and the chocolate factory was good.

I don't know the hate for them. And I hate typing on an itouch

As I stated before, I don't like Ewan MacGregor, and his voice was one of the worst things I've ever heard. The story didn't appeal to me, and was very predictable.

Charlie was bad because all of the characters seemed like hyper extensions of what they were in the book. They claim that this is closer to the Dahl book, and some things are, but Wonka is given a dumb backstory, almost every aspect of this movie isn't as likeable as the first movie.

I hope Tim Burton directs the new movie Pee-Wee Herman wants to do. "Big Adventure" was Burton's first big picture, so I guess you could say Pee-Wee was his first lucky charm, or the original Johnny Depp.
