Relieved that this film is good. Sweeney Todd is the lone bright spot on Burton's filmography of the past decade or so.

Y'all are kidding right? Big Fish is probably his best movie ever, & that came out in 2003. Outside of that & Sweeney Todd I agree with the sentiments of this article. It's sad too, because of you told people in the 90s about the properties Burton would take on it would have been exciting, by the time he actually did it just seemed way too expected & the films themselves largely phoned in. Plus he used to resist using a lot of CG, even used a lot of charming stop motion in live action (like Harryhausen) but then we got the abominable Aloce in Wonderland that was 90% computer generated. I'm glad to see his return to his own material was successful. I'm impressed Disney let him release a black & white stop motion movie, both qualities on their own are known to limit audiences. Plus, this is an adaptation of the project Disney fired Burton over for 'wasting company resources'. My how time (& a few billion dollars) heals all wounds.

Hopefully, Tim Burton will now focus on original material and leave the reboots alone.

Yea Sweeney Todd is his lone bright spot on rather pitiful record post POTA, it's certainly been his only memorable film since Sleepy Hallow. If we only knew then that Planet of The Apes was just the beginning of Burton's decent into studio tooldome

"Nightmare" tanked at the box office? It hit #1 in it's second week. I don't remember it flopping at all. It was a hit with critics and audiences.
