It's really, really BAD. pee wee's great. it has so many highs that would rank among burton's best work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think them releasing so many live action remakes so close together is wrong. Especially when thus far their live action remakes have been mediocre (except for Jungle Book imo) whereas the original content that they’ve released is so much better quality wise. Is it really on their live action department side ? I think people talking about pacing it to maximum 2 year have a point, there is a limited amount they can make anyway. That said a bit like the 3D remake release being a giant business between 2010 to 2013 to now completely death, there is also a very big argument that this is very big now, but could be a short window fad too and better cash in it as quick has you can.

Rumors went to low 100 to significantly over 200 I think. https://www.filmla.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2017_film_study_v3-WEB.pdf They have it at 195m estimated on that (not that particularly know but tend to get the best you can get type of numbers), 172M in the UK rest in Namibia/US.

Deja23 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Oof. Expected better reviews. The trailers looked so good. I barely remember the animated movie anyway, so it won’t be a problem if this deviates from that. But if it’s soulless, that’ll be a shame.

DAJK Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Missed the Big Fish talk but it's my all-time favourite Burton, one of my favourite movies ever. Upon my most recent re-watch I noticed the "courtship" stuff really hasn't aged well (but the shot of MacGregor in the daffodils is beautiful) but I do like the love story as a whole (the war stuff, going missing in Korea, his wife being told he was dead etc. is similar to my grandfather's story so I like it). Last half our is incredible. Thought Crudup did a good job in the emotional scenes, even if his arc as a whole was the weaker portion of the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fielding Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 2 hours ago, Goffe said: I like Burton, even his failures are more stimulating than the products that are dominating the blockbuster scene right now (except of Big Eyes and Miss Peregrine, those are lame as hell)... But it does feel like Burton checked out from storytelling and stayed just for the stunning & weird imagery that he likes to come up with. Feels that way since the Apes movie, but this decade it got progressively worse. Burton has always been a terrible storyteller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 In terms of 2000s onward Charlie 2005, Big Fish and Corspe Bride are great Frankenweenie and Perginene are okay Alice, Dark Shadows and Apes 2001 are garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I actually sorta liked Peregrine, thought it was really fun. But not enough to make we watch it again after theatres. I never understood the hate on Alice. Yea, it's not that good, but it's no worse IMO that Maleficent which doesn't get quite as much hate. It's also way better than Through the Looking Glass. Still, it's quite dull, which sucks to say about a Burton movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 AIW is terrible. And somehow Looking Glass managed to be worse(I know Burton didn’t direct the latter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Alice in Wonderland was far from great (that dance towards the end, jesus christ no) but I found it perfectly harmless and entertaining. The sequel was lame as shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hot take: Apes 2001 is more entertaining than the dull reboot. General Thade is an underrated treasure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
