Director Tim Burton
Over the past few years i have become less and less of a fan of Tim Burton's work, ever since his 2005 destructions of Charile and the Choclate Factory. But there is not doubt that his best work was in the 1990's and this is one of his best works. The story takes its time to get started but once it enters its second half the film has your complete attention. You need not question the worlds that Burton creates and theres no doubt in that. A young Johnny Depp (Sleepy Hollow, Pirates of the Carribean) will see better days but its still a confident early performance and Winona Ryder (Alien Resurrection, Black Swan) is at her most likable and on this evidence could maybe have had a more a-lister career, although theres still time yet. How the film will stand further viewings by me remains to be seen but all the evidence is this is Burton at his Sleepy Hollow and Batman best.6 out of 10
