I agree, I just don't click with his films.

Far from it, and you'll find me in agreement as well.

I think everything he's done outside of "Big Fish" has sucked (including the utter destruction he did of Batman).

I've liked most of his movies. Except for Edward Scissorhands and that Planet of the Apes remake piece of poo.

I usually like Burton's movies... guess I'm an outcast in here :/

Some concept artwork.

Those pictures look great. Burton is clearly overrated, but I've enjoyed most of his films regardless. I thought Scissorhands was cool when it came out. Sure he's had some stinkers, but most directors do. I think he tries too hard sometimes. Sleepy Hollow is a good Halloween flick.

Despite my love of Disney, I'll be avoiding this one at all costs. Any and all hollywood types, no matter who it is, that thinks they can improve upon a classic story deserves to be thrown into a wood chipper.

And in Burton's case, thrown into a black and white cotton candy machine afterwards.

Should be a solid attempt at a live action AIW. It's not like replacing the original. Sometimes it deserves to be done. I don't think that being the first should give timeless credibility. As far as trying to improve the story, the differences can often make it worth the effort.

Many hated the 2005 version of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, but it was more accurate to the book than the original movie. It actually contained flaws that contradicted the book. I'd actually welcome a new Wizard of Oz. Dorothy is too old in the original movie. People can always buy their favorite on DVD and hold onto it.
