This is Burton at his purest. Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman composing, a dark and Gothic setting; everything is present and correct. Visually stunning with top notch special effects and good performances all round, it is not quite menacing enough but still a darkly comic fantasy that will satisfy Burton fans and gore hounds as well as the average movie goer. Ray (Darth Maul) Park's exceptional swordplay and Christopher Walken's malevolent horseman are worth noting too. 'Bloody' Brilliant!
