2016 tim burton movies11/24/2023 Corpse Bride was also the first such film directed by Burton, who was previously wrongfully attributed to Henry Selick's A Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, with both those films only having Burton's involvement as a producer. Part of this is because the animation allowed Depp to disappear into the character of Victor Van Dort.Ĭorpse Bride marked the first and only time Johnny Depp participated in one of Tim Burton's stop-motion projects. Loosely based on a Jewish folktale, Corpse Bride ended up being the better of Johnny Depp's two collaborations with Tim Burton in 2005. The stop-motion film Corpse Bride was released only three months after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. While Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is far from the worst collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, it did mark the point where Depp's characters began to be highlighted solely for their weirdness. While this was enough to separate Depp's performance from Gene Wilder's, this characterization received unflattering comparisons to Michael Jackson upon the remake's release. The decision to make Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka an unusual manchild was a choice. However, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had the added baggage of inevitable comparisons to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the still-beloved performance by Gene Wilder in the titular role. By this point, Depp had become a superstar after appearing in the first of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, giving him much more box office cache than he had with his previous collaborations with Burton. That was the longest gap between their collaborations until their current lapse. That is why I'm giving it a 6.Johnny Depp was cast as Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's re-adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate factory after a six-year hiatus of the two working with each other. And the kids, who I thought were the ones that were going to stand out, only Ella Purnell kind of did Overall it is pretty average movie with great direction an a clear vision but a cast and a story that were flat. Jackson as the villain, were forgettable. Kudos to Eva Green because she is the only, and I mean the only person in the cast worth mentioning, she fits the character of Miss Peregrine perfect, very mysterious and powerful but with a kind heart, contrary to Asa Butterfield who as Jake felt completely forced and not even relatable. I like Tim Burton and he clearly was the right choice to direct I mean his aesthetic works perfect with the tone of the story this feels like Big Fish meets Edward Scissorhands, that being said I think the story felt a little flat. I think it has a good story but it is missing something to make it stand out. Now in my case as a non reader of the book I had no big expectations for this movie and after watching it I can say it is not a bad movie but it is not very good either. If you are expecting a truthful adaptation of the novel maybe skip this one. First of all I haven't read the books but my brother has and he said the movie is not even 30% accurate to the book so I get it why the book readers are hating it.
