Review

Tim Burton, a great in the halls of fantastically artistic directors, who has made films I so much have loved, such as Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Planet of the Apes (2001), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and more, has come back. And this time he brings back frequent acting choice of his films, Johnny Depp (8 films in total, now), appreciated by many (including myself) for his quality talents lent to many a film that I don't think I need to name.
