   Not Burton's best. It doesn't have any depth, I guess it's nice visually. The amusement park scene was ridiculous. 7 years 6 months ago

   I've not been a fan of Tim Burton's recent work, generally, but found this to have a much lower cringe-factor. It manages to be very much his usual aesthetic without going overboard (Willy Wonka, Alice, I'm looking at you). On second thought, maybe the secret ingredient is to not use Johnny Depp... 7 years 6 months ago

   Had a strong start with interesting visuals and an intriguing premise, but became a bland mess.
   
   Terrible acting from people who can do much better. Particularly painful when they had scenes with those actually trying.
   
   I haven't read the books but they're on my list. From talking with people who have read them, this is a poor substitute.
   
   

   
   You can tell this movie was designed as a standalone because the plot has been re-written so heavily that any sequels would diverge to the point of being an alternate-reality from the books. Some would already say that about this movie, actually.
