I'm not alone in thinking Tim burton stuff is boring right? Maybe cause I didn't see any of his things until a burton obsessed friend convinced me to watch a bunch when I was like 21. I was very bored and unimpressed andvfeel like that is carrying over to all his work.

It's all very...samey looking? Considering some are figurines and some are ppl...

Pls say I'm not alone.

Yeah, it feels like it's all a very worked out, elaborate style without much substance behind it.

You're not alone. I enjoy some of his movies and his schtick is fine in moderation but when you look at his long career it's kind of obvious he's a one trick pony. His cinematography is fine, but everything else is fairly mediocre. I'll never forget the hot mess that he made of the Willy Wonka movie or his adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.

I think like a lot of directors who tend to stick to trends, it can be hit and miss. I like some of his stuff, but not all of it. But it does tend to have a similar style vein, so if you don't like that style at all, it's going to be more miss than hit.

Thinking about it there's only really one Time Burton movie I actually like a lot and that's Corpse Bride. All the others I find visually interesting but other than that they're just, alright I guess? Idk.

Well, you're not alone in thinking that his work all looks a lot alike.

But for me, his style is kind of like comfort food. I stumbled upon him as an impressionable pre-teen who had never fit in, and the stories he was telling at the time ("Beetlejuice", "Edward Scissorhands") spoke to me in a way that no other media had before.

Now whenever I need comforting, I just stick in a Tim Burton film, and I'm whisked away once again into whatever world he's created. They're same-y, but that's what I like about them.

you are not alone. You need to find his whimsical goth aesthetic appealing to enjoy most of his work.

[tabaqui]

Nope, you're not. I've felt this way about his movies for a long time.

Late to this party but: I liked Beetlejuice, loved Batman (1989) and liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a lot. All the rest of his stuff was so underwhelming. I feel the same way about Wes Anderson. People get so caught up in the fact that Burton and Anderson actually know how to make good use of a visual medium that they forget the fact that a movie isn't just a painting that moves. (Similar to the secret about Studio Ghibli movies.)

Their movies have the same flaws: twee scripts that are underacted, slow pacing, and a camera gaze that puts up an emotional wall between the viewer and what's going on on the screen.
