Search: Directed by Tim Burton

Wonderland? I'm afraid this Alice has gone for a Burton.

A bad film with a capable director.

This is a short film about Catwoman weighed down by a lot of vague nonsense you'll end up skipping through.

Drawing on the grand guignol horror that its creator had loved since his own childhood, Beetlejuice combines gleefully gory special effects with high camp, sharp wit and irreverent humour.

Burton pieces together the components with a demonic rigour that belies its sequel status.

Burton does not think he needs to make up his mind about the tone of the movie. It is like a child ordering an ice cream with five kinds of toppings.

Something has happened to Tim Burton. The darkness has left him... The film fails on every level.

Varied and expansive, this exemplary collection serves as an excellent introduction to American short film.

Corpse Bride is even better than The Nightmare Before Christmas. It displays the imagination of a man, haunted in childhood by the Brothers Grimm, with a twisted sense of humour, steeped in 19th century romanticism.

It's a slick and intoxicating vision to say the least.

Dark Shadows lacks any real drive or momentum, struggling to sink its teeth into a compelling story or plot

By contrasting an artificial man with the real but unsubtly false men and women of the world and their queer existences, Burton presents satire with a dull thud.

Alternately hilarious and touching.

While drawing on influences from the Golden Age of Universal horror movies such as Wolfman and Frankenstein, this is a animal entirely borne of Burton - and it's all the better for it.

Rarely has the title of a film summed it up so well - or so completely.

Overall, the film doesn't quite achieve the level of dramatic tension it should.

It hardly helps having Mark Wahlberg in the lead. As charismatic as seaweed, he creates a new milestone in minimalist acting. It's called not acting.

At a time when ghouls have been relegated to cereal packets, Burton resurrects an Edwardian fascination with horror.

Johnny Depp gives one of the greatest performances of his career.
