Sweeney Todd
TheFuriousWombat:
I agree, I found Corpse Bride to be tremendously unimpressive. Visually, it was very cool in the beginning (the scenes in the town and the mansion, for example) but the undead city/characters marked a departure from that. The songs, plot, characters and animation can't hold a candle to Nightmare Before Christmas. I was pretty disappointed overall with the movie. That being said, Ed Wood is brilliant, Nightmare Before Christmas is great and Edward Scissorhands was a very good movie as well. Burton has talent, he's just hit-or-miss (Planet of the Apes and Big Fish both missed the mark, although neither as badly as Corpse Bride did). Here's hoping Sweeney Todd will fall into the hits.
Katherine:
Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie ever made (and its freaking fantastic in Digital 3D). Corpse Bride was a bitter disappointment, but at least it wasn't Nightmare Before Christmas 2.

I actually really liked Big Fish. It was a bit different than his previous films, but I don't see why it was sub par. Planet of the Apes and Corpse Bride, on the other hand, were pretty awful. (Both of them I had to force myself to finish.) Hopefully Sweeney Todd will be more along the lines of his earlier films (Beetle Juice, Nightmare, Scissorhands, etc).
Dimmukane:
It's just that with a lot of his movies, they feel longer than they really are, which is generally not a good sign for me. I thought Big Fish was probably the closest in recent memory in terms of perceived and actual length.
De_El:
It's true, simple because it has Alan Rickman, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and was directed by Tim Burton, I'm going to see it, but...I am wary. The trailer doesn't really sway me one way or the other because it's pretty much what I expected. I want it to be good, but I'm not sure if I'm really sold. Ah well. Until December.
