Of Burton's 16 major films he has directed how many did you not like?

It starts going downhill for me outside of my top 11. I didn't really like 5 out of his 16 movies. That's not bad and I even thought 2 of them (Charlie and Sweeney) were mediocre. Big Eyes sounds great with the low budget, cast, and the writers of Ed Wood. Hopefully Burton will continue to go back to his roots.

1.Ed Wood 10/10
2.Pee Wee's Big adventure 10/10
3.Beetlejuice 8/10
4.Batman 8/10
5.Corpse Bride 8/10
6.Edward Scissorhands 8/10
7.Batman Returns 7/10
8.Mars Attacks 7/10
9.Big Fish 7/10
10.Sleepy Hollow 6.5/10
11.Frankenweenie 6.5/10
12.Charlie and the chocolate Factory 5/10
13.Sweeney Todd 5/10
14.Planet of the Apes 4.5/10
15.Dark Shadows 4/10
16.Alice in Wonderland 4/10

Ugh, Charlie and Chocolate Factory shouldn't be put with the aforementioned movies as it was a truly great movie.

Except it's really not, hence why people are listing it.

I've seen 18 of his films and liked all but 2, Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Mars Attacks.

Mars Attacks is hilarious.

[–] BrandNewPoster (10996) 2 months ago

I didn't find it funny.

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

I guess I just find it absurdly funny, not laugh out loud funny perse.

I’ve never been crazy about Burton but Ed Wood is by far and beyond the best thing he’s ever done. That film is a masterpiece of cinema and he hasn’t come close to replicating that. Sleepy Hollow is pretty good too. The rest is fun but his bad stuff is bad.
