ThomasNicole Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Again, a LOT of positive reactions today.. even the less excited people are saying the movie was fine and well made. Screening for critics should end in an hour or so, let’s see how it goes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Tim Burton, just because he's had some misses (that you can count on one hand) doesn't mean that he's suddenly lost his touch. He remains an A list filmmaker. Sorry, but Burton has had more then his share of misfires both critically and on the box office over the past decade, He has sort of fallen from the A List in recent years. It seems like both critics and audeinces have gotten a little tired of his "Dark Whimsy". "Dumbo" could be a comeback film for him, though.

Mars Attacks, Planet of the Apes, Dark Shadows, and Alice in Wonderland. And 2 of them are not even from this decade.

Curtis1986 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm not sure what the reviews are going to look like but let's not forget the writer of the screenplay is a pretty bad writer. I like Tim Burton but his last Disney live-action adaptation Alice in Wonderland was pretty disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yandereprime101189 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The writer also wrote the original Ring. Even bad writers turn in good scripts every now and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one he could have done better with we’re TF2 and Ghost in the Shell, and those he was a co writer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViewerAnon Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Boy was I not a fan. Dumbo’s great - the rest is not. The kids are genuinely bad with the rest of the cast, save De Vito, ranging from boring to awful. And the cast matters because this thing is so much more interested in the humans than anything else. Even Baby Mine isn’t really from Dumbo’s POV. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really has two BIG misfires: POTA and AIW, Miss Peregrine was meh but his output has really been rock solid of late: Sweeney Todd, Dark Shadows (even though, for some reason, it didn't get a good reception), Frankenweenie, Big Eyes.

Even bad writers turn in good scripts every now and again. People who think a writer having bad credits means he can't write or a film he wrote is destined to fail should REALLY take a look at a thread Eric Heisserer (Arrival and also Nightmare On Elm Street (the final film being nothing like his screenplay) wrote on Twitter or an article he also wrote. If the film is bad, don't blame the writer, there are often multiple screenwriters doing work on a film and you have NO idea who wrote what, when, if anything of the original script is there, if there's been onset rewrites, etc. It's just a fool's errand to try to guess and determine that, unless you're Sorkin, or Zaillan or whomever.
