As a rule, Tim Burton’s original works are awesome, but his adaptations are horrible insults to the source material. Charlie and the Chocolate Factor wasn’t a remake, and therefore shouldn’t be compared to the Gene Wilder film. But it -was- an adaptation, and it’s still a steaming pile of dung. Even Batman, though nostalgia keeps it alive for me, completely misses most of the key elements that make that story what it is. Planet of the Apes, Sleepy Hollow (which I’ll admit I like, but it’s a guilty pleasure), Sweeney Todd, Mars Attacks…all crappy adaptations. But his original material — The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, to name a few — sooo much better.

It always bugs me when people say Tim Burton’s version was closer to the book. How? The book was my favorite book until I was FOURTEEN, and I recognize it for the steaming pile it is! Consistently wrong in tone, a needless subplot for Willy Wonka, the tacked on ending…. I have no idea how it’s even CLOSE to the book.

Gangs of New York blew chunks, great cast, great director, great potential. but it starts our convoluted and spirals downward. I only watched it a second time because Daniel Day Lewis does an incredible job, but I ended up looking at my watch and thinking about how I had totally wasted three hours.

Wow. I’m really glad I followed the link to such thought-provoking observations as “To be honest I didn’t see this movie but having done research there are countless people that think it suck.” I think perhaps the written word is not for you.

@The Mutt

Hook is an excellent movie and anything anyone says to the contrary is false. /$0.02

1941 is hysterical. Vastly under-rated.

I can only assume you’ve never seen Hook.

I would watch 1941 ten times in a row than have to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull one more time.
