I was hoping this movie would be something special, with Burton at the helm. The poster is unremarkable, IMHO, as well (they could have done SO much better on this). Depp looks about as intimidating as a 14 year old, who has just done his first, typical "all white face / eyes circled with black" vampire makeup, for a Halloween party.

These portraits also don't do much (aside from being colorful) (again IMO):

I like the character posters, there's those face profiles and full figure individual posters that aren't too bad. I want the Eva Green ones. The face one should be in a Bus Shelter format, the other one where she is standing in front of a car I'm not sure what format that is in. Unfortunately I can't find those two anywhere except print copies from Hong Kong in really small sizes, so maybe the studios aren't printing those. The Depp face and the family are the only ones available at the time, and a Quad of the family.

The Depp portrait has been overly manipulated to the point of it looking like a graphic, rather than a photo, as opposed to the rest of the cast. The others have all been retouched, too, but still look like "real" people, at least.

I don't really care if they look real, it's got a 70's vibe to it I like. I have the Depp face in Bus Shelter, would like the Eva one to go with it, the other ones I could care less about. Would like this one too.

It was more just an observation about how different (created) Depp's image looks compared to the rest of the set.

I like that one you posted. Eva Green in front of that car!! Nice.

I am a fan of his work, but I totally agree... His most personal films - Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands - are his only completely successful efforts.

“I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.” - Tim Burton

Um, What about the Batman movies, Nightmare Before Christmas... Alice in Wonderland, and Beetlejuice?

I should have highlighted the word 'completely'.

Beetlejuice is another of his more personal films and is very close to being completely successful. Alice had a nice performance by Depp, but was a complete failure of a film otherwise. Batman had a great performance by Nicholson and a solid turn by Keaton, but nothing that Burton brought to the table added anything to the film (see my quote and Kevin Smith's stories about Burton as to why or just watch any of the Dark Knight flicks). His trademark overly cartoony style simply didn't fit the material, though it was better with the darker Batman Returns. Songs from Prince? Way out of place...

NBC, which he didn't direct by the way, is a mediocre film, with mediocre songs (I love Oingo Boingo, but a little Elfman goes a looooong way). Both James & the Giant Peach and Coraline were far more interesting films in the stop-motion genre. Burton did write the story, but that has aways been his Achilles heel...

Funny how opinions differ... I find those films completely successful, and Burton was apart of them.
