But with Sleepy Hollow I disagree with you - it's one of my favourites. I think he gets the balance right with Alice; it is scary in places but the humour undercuts that and the visuals are amazing (though I'm talking set design rather than the 3D - which was OK but for me didn't really add a great deal to my overall enjoyment of the film).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-41935686849263218612010-03-31T00:05:57.337+02:002010-03-31T00:05:57.337+02:00Is it as good as you say it is?

I like much of Burton's stuff (Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks, Sweeney Todd) but equally there is stuff which doesn't do it for me (Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Choc Factory). The Choc factory movie is case in point for me - Burton sure know how do the dazzling visuals but there's a hollowness at the core and lack of soul - the 1970s version may not have had the sophistication in terms of special effects, but Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka had so much more heart than Johnny Depp's weirrrrrd interpretation, I think and I blame that to a large degree on Burton.
